• [EX Studio] Added video recording feature to the Live2D/Spine editor
  - High-resolution and high-frame-rate video recording requires significant performance, which may cause frame drops.
  - The recording feature only supports capturing the model itself, UI elements like text box cannot be recorded.
  
  
• [EX Studio] Improved render size and snapshot functionality
  Render size now supports both automatic adjustment and custom size.
  
  
• [Main App] Fixed an issue related to hotkeys

New UI update #2:
* Removed sidebar
* Moved all controls to top

Docks is used to make multiple MetaDock instances (or MetaDock windows)

Just upfront: this is not this year's content update. More on that later. For this update I focused mainly on bug fixes, improvements and adding a few new features, such as FULL CONTROLLER SUPPORT. 🎉

When I released this game two years ago, I never expected controller support to be the most requested feature (since it’s a shooter for PC and all), but here it is—it’s finally in the game! Please let me know how it works for you. I had some people playtest it here in Berlin at Games Ground last month, and the feedback was generally positive.

Another requested feature that’s now included in this update is scorekeeping. Whenever you finish a run, you’ll now see your previous best results (from this point onward—unfortunately, stats from runs before the update can't be retrieved). Additionally, you’ll now have the option to restart the level directly without needing to return to the menu.

As for the content update: yes, I’m working on it! Finalizing the controller support took much longer than I anticipated, but I’m still aiming to release the new level in time for Christmas. Fingers crossed! 🎅

Eager Hunters who tried to download the game immediately after receiving the email were getting an error: ''Game Excutable Missing''. That issue is now FIXED and the Gobbo responsible has been punished accordingly.

If you were one of those affected, thank you for your patience! Special thanks to those of you who jumped in the Discord to bring the issue to our attention and help us trouble shoot.

A few additional notes:

• Currently the Spider Queen mission is using an experimental map, that is much larger and hasn't had as much content added to populate the world.
  
  
• Please give us feedback using the yellow in game feedback button (takes you to a google form). Your feedback helps us make the game the best it can be. What did you like? What did you dislike?

• You have permission to Stream, Record and create any content you from the Alpha. Remember Steam now has a built in screen recorder, and you can set it to be always on in the shift-tab settings menu.
