CHANGELOG

0.23.0

  • Add Bank of Aurelionite with run-long DEBIT and owner-saved OFF-SHORE accounts that persist across hosts and mod updates.
  • Convert OFF-SHORE deposits at a rounded, compounding 10% rate increase per $100 stored, starting at $100 per dollar. Quote deposits across rate bands and support 1:1 withdrawals through DEBIT.
  • Use DEBIT for website purchases and earnings while world purchases keep using wallet gold. Keep OFF-SHORE exclusively for storage.
  • Add DRONES-R-US with a guaranteed Gunner Drone and three random drone types per stage, at 3x native stage repair prices.
  • Require ten successful fights per stage for MICRO-GAMER to start a teleporter. Keep the counter independent from E-SHOP spending and preserve other survivors' normal interactions.
  • Shorten browser Back/Forward buttons to < and >, and add a temporary COMING SOON cover to Desktop Depot.

0.22.0

  • Use the live cursor silhouette for Desktop Depot pointer recolors, preserving the continuous face, outline and diagonal tail.
  • Compact browser controls to expand the page viewport by 20% vertically.
  • Remove the obsolete cycle pause button and state; keep fast-forward beside Integrity.
  • Keep MICRO-GAMER's interface visible when the game loses focus while blocking background input.
  • Focus the camera on chest purchases during their opening animation, preserving immediate purchases and affordability checks.

0.21.0

  • Add Desktop Depot to MICRO-NET and browser Favorites, with twelve product previews across cursors, toolbars, antivirus software and bonuses.
  • Browse separate department pages with retro product illustrations. Prices are TBA and purchasing stays disabled until the content has functional effects.

0.20.0

  • Support developer-authored website layouts and four microgame templates compiled into the mod.
  • Keep authored games in the normal difficulty, Integrity, multiplayer, boss-attack and Clippy systems.
  • Validate saved designs during the build. The private editor and editable project files are excluded from the game package; no runtime project-file importer is provided.

0.19.1

  • Load native item icon sprite references asynchronously and draw their sprite UVs. Support both current Addressable icons and older direct sprites, including the GIVE ITEM screen.
  • Restyle ebayzaar after the supplied early eBay reference: multicolor wordmark, yellow search and category panels, blue welcome bar, specialty-site links, featured items and a compact listing layout.
  • Shorten the navigation buttons to SELL YOUR ITEMS and BUY AN ITEM.
  • Add working item-name search and rarity filters while preserving original listing IDs, prices and completed stock.

0.19.0

  • Add ebayzaar to MICRO-NET and Favorites, with BUYING and SELLING sections featuring item icons, names, owned counts and gold prices.
  • Generate 10–20 buying offers and 1–5 sale listings per player per stage from the run's available white, green, legendary and yellow item pools.
  • Price white items at 0.5–3 normal chests, green at 1–5 and legendary/yellow at 1.5–20.
  • Fulfill each listing once. Preserve offers through browser refreshes, reopening and revival; refresh them for a new stage.
  • Validate ownership, gold, listing completion and stage revision on the server. Deliver purchases directly to inventory and remove exactly one item when selling.

0.18.0

  • Restore ghost MUL-T and ground movement, sprinting and item-based jumps in DEPLOY.
  • Correct walking animation inputs: signed forward/strafe values, actual vertical speed, native aim ranges and neutral aim cycles. Keep the visual upright and root motion disabled.
  • Aim at nearby interactables and press Primary to use them, with collision, lock and affordability checks. Keep the normal Interact binding available.
  • Add BROWSE to the main menu: a Windows 98 Internet Explorer-style window with linked local websites, navigation history, Favorites and scrolling.
  • Include directory, article and shop page templates, a field guide and microgame library. The shop entry uses existing host-validated E-SHOP access and stock rules.

0.17.0

  • Replace MUL-T in DEPLOY with the Gunner Drone model and animation controller from native post-death Remote Operation; retain the Happiest Mask ghost appearance.
  • Adapt native player-drone input rules: horizontal movement, Jump to ascend, Sprint to descend and stationary hovering. Normalize diagonal movement and preserve the native combined Jump/Sprint behavior.
  • Drive native idle, propeller speed and aim-pivot animations from replicated flight movement and aim. Keep the separate visual and existing collision checks.
  • Preserve movement-speed items, microgame attacks, nearby Interact purchases, enemy immunity, Integrity and Special recall. Flight does not use extra jumps.

0.16.3

  • Give deployed MUL-T the native Happiest Mask ghost appearance, including its replacement material and overlay pass.
  • Apply the effect only to the separate deployment visual using owned material copies. Movement, attacks, interactions, Integrity and revival rules remain unchanged.

0.16.2

  • Switch DEPLOY’s appearance to MUL-T while preserving movement items, microgame attacks, nearby interactions, enemy immunity and recall.
  • Build a separate visual hierarchy from native meshes, bones and animation assets. Copy no body, cloak, skin, print or AI scripts into it.
  • Explicitly initialize visible shader properties on owned material copies. Keep body renderers separate from MICRO-GAMER’s invisible host and clean them up on recall, death or stage changes.
  • Raise deployment camera framing for MUL-T.

0.16.1

  • Sharpen MS Sans Serif 1 text with multiple raster sizes, pixel-aligned glyphs and whole-pixel bold strokes.
  • Preserve the Engineer walking sentry's native model transform and materials; disable model scripts that inherit the invisible host's appearance. Frame the turret with a third-person camera.
  • Use the normal Interact binding (E by default) in DEPLOY, with nearby-object prompts, native targeting, fresh affordability checks and normal interaction panels. Interacting no longer moves the deployed body to the object.

0.16.0

  • Add DEPLOY on the main action screen. Navigate with an Engineer walking-sentry model, movement-item speed and jumps, and enemy immunity. Primary attacks the aimed enemy through microgames; Special recalls the sentry. Secondary and Utility remain inactive.
  • Keep Integrity, inventory, revival and boss attack rules on the same player body. Resume sentry movement at its previous position after an attack.
  • Add adaptive-chest camera framing and a bottom STOP button, preserving native reward selection and inventory delivery.
  • Anchor choice panels to the bottom and size them to their visible option rows. Preserve pagination and item icons.
  • Render menu text with the supplied MS Sans Serif 1 by CTFonts. Bundle rasterized glyphs and the font license; no font installation or online service is needed.
  • Display Barrel1 as Barrel.

0.15.2

  • Purchase immediately when selecting a chest-list entry, with fresh native affordability checks for gold, lunar coins and item trades.
  • List each multi-shop terminal separately; show known attached item names on buds, printers and shop terminals. Preserve mystery items as unknown.
  • Show Lunar Seers' destination stage names once assigned.
  • Gray out empty menu categories and return safely if a category empties during selection.
  • Disable every E-SHOP keeper in the Bazaar and other noncombat realms without spending the earned unlock.
  • Keep the Pipe Dream gap away from ports that point toward a nearby board edge. Preserve all six answers and the connected winning route.

0.15.1

  • Scale the Windows 98 Start menu and its click targets to the desktop/taskbar; remove the duplicate taskbar strip.
  • Include Shrines of Chance and other item-reward interactables under CHEST.
  • Add DRONE as the fifth INTERACT category for drone and sentry purchases.

0.15.0

  • Replace automatic cycling with ATTACK, SUPPORT, INTERACT and E-SHOP action menus. Earn each shop visit with five successful attacks.
  • Require all three microgames in a boss attack to succeed before dealing one hit.
  • Add Full Heal challenges, item gift icons and Reboot for one maximum Integrity.
  • List interactables by category and requested ordering. Preserve Executive Card purchase benefits.
  • End multiplayer survival when every other teammate is dead, while keeping solo play independent. Show the supplied blue screen on death with a one-second fade.
  • Disable cycle pause during microgames, slow Tetris gravity, stop camera orbiting and hide the custom interface while Tab is held.
  • Capitalize MICRO-GAMER and interface labels, preserving microgame artwork and dialogue.

0.14.0

  • Use the supplied Micro-gamer artwork for the mod thumbnail, survivor portrait, ability icons and character-select display.
  • Simplify character-select descriptions and rewrite the player guide.
  • Add the AI disclosure used by the Tony Soprano mod.
  • Prepare a Thunderstore package with player-facing documentation.
