Dev Log – Version 0.6  Date: 2024-12-09  

What's New and Changed in This Version

Rebirth – Initial Implementation

• Introduced a basic Rebirth system that resets player progress in exchange for special benefits.
• This system will be expanded in future versions with new upgrade options, allowing players to gain permanent bonuses and customize their gameplay.
• Currently, Rebirth rewards players with a unique item, the "Book of Egg," which will have future applications.

New Upgrades in the Shop

• Two new upgrades have been added:
  1. Double Mouse Clicks: Boosts manual clicking efficiency, earning more points per click.
  2. Double Auto-Clicker Clicks: Each automatic click now yields double the points.
• Added the ability to toggle the auto-clicker on and off, giving players more control over their strategy.

Audio Settings (Music and Sound Effects)

• Players can now adjust the volume of music and sound effects using sliders in the settings menu.
• These settings are automatically saved and apply across all scenes.
• The audio range has been optimized to smoothly fade sounds down to -80 dB or max out at 0 dB.

Random Music Playback System

• A random playback feature has been added, allowing songs to be selected from a pool of available tracks.
• The pool can be expanded by developers in future updates.

Visual Effects in the Main Menu

• Random Egg Appearances:
  • Eggs are now randomly generated in the background of the main menu within a predefined area.
  • A maximum of 10 eggs can appear on screen at any time, with random intervals and a lifespan of 1 second.
• Logo Animation:
  • The main menu logo gently sways side-to-side, creating a pleasant and subtle visual effect.

Optimizations and Bug Fixes

• Fixed audio system issues related to parameter names in the audio mixer, improving volume control stability.
• Improved egg generation logic to better respect designated areas and avoid collision issues.
• Enhanced game reset logic during Rebirth to improve upgrade cost management in the shop.

Summary

Version 0.6 introduces significant enhancements to gameplay mechanics, adding new upgrade options and greater control over playstyle. With visual improvements and optimized audio settings, the game is now more dynamic and tailored to player preferences. The Rebirth system marks a major step toward deeper progression mechanics, with expanded upgrades planned for future versions.

Next Steps

• In Version 0.7, we plan to expand the Rebirth system with additional upgrades and gameplay mechanics.
• Focus will also be placed on implementing a global scoring system and an enhanced auto-clicker with new development tiers.
• We are also considering improving progression visualization and adding new effects related to clicking.
