There's another update which was meant to be included earlier if I had time! Here: https://fish-with-headphones.itch.io/king-of-the-cheese/devlog/609659/9212023-fi...

New Update

King of the Hat is releasing on Console today! So yippie! I'm so happy for you Hat Team (at Hat Games)!! :D

And because of that, the countdown has finally stopped (I think?)... I believe so anyway.

Regardless, to celebrate this day, I decided to optimize the living out of this game! And add more refinements to it. There's no new content at all, but you'll appreciate the changes I made to make it more satisfying!

New Features

• Add new particle effects
• Add a camera shake
• Have the munching noises satisfyingly go higher in pitch
• Fixed and new Animations for Dark Birthday... He can dream now whenever you idle after a while.
• Revamp the "Cheese" tab in the menu section. Makes it easier to add additional cheeses!
• Add the ability to spawn the cheeses at once instantly!
• Add the ability to remove the limit (limit referring to current days). You can go nuts and have hundreds, thousands, or even millions on screen! If your computer is strong enough enough that is.
• Add the ability to the GUI with "Ctrl + H"
• It now contains the console release anniversary! Celebrating it yearly with a simple text.
• Added
• We have Discord Rich Presence up and running and will display what you're doing in-game!

General Changes

• Optimized the game further to accommodate large amount of cheese!
• Made Dark Birthday run a little faster!
• Will go fullscreen on default
• You can fullscreen with "F11" in addition to "Alt + Enter"
• Adjusted the game effects
• Adjusted the music
• Additional hints
• Adjusted the GUI a bit

Bug Fixes

• The Hints/Secret Messages' logic was actually wrong. So the randomness is more random.
• Actually have Dark Birthday start in the middle!

Known Bugs

• For some reason you can't use the arrows in the cheese spawn cap field?? (It was working before...)
• The game lets you use the GUI and the Joystick at the same time. Making GUI navigation a bit annoying. "Alt" to disable the joystick controls is a band-aid to this problem.

I had tons of fun of optimizing it that I end up refining other aspects of the game. I never thought optimization is addicting. Too addicting that I added way too many things to it. It suddenly went from a 2 day update to a week worth update. If there's any other bugs, I'm not going to fix it sorry! (Unless it's like really major and makes the game borderline unplayable)

Anyhow, this is the final, final update for this game. Have a great day everyone! Byee!!

(Like for reals though, I thought this would be a quick update.)

--- After Sept. 12, 2023 ---

(There's suppose to be more bug-fixes and optimizations here, but I got lazy, so the game got released again. There will be a new trailer that will showcase the bug fixes because there was a huge one that I didn't recognize. Lmk for any more bugs that needed to be done, and I'll do it asap. Hopefully the minor ones at least)
