Patch 1.9.6 | The "SUN SETTING" Update

Please update your version of the game to this one! Thank you! (CHANGELOG BELOW)


This will probably be one of the near-last content updates - it adds some quality-of-life features, things I wanted to add for a long time, and... Skins! About 8 of them!

I hope you all enjoy this update! And thank you for still supporting this game after all this time :)

NEW CONTENT:

- Added skins! You'll get the first 4 after beating the Main Campaign, and the other 4 if you unlock the correct character they tie to! Hope this adds some extra replay value to the game with this :)

- Added ALL of Pal's poses to the Environments section of the Bonuses menu, including all options for his camera attack and ALT pose for the center room

- Changed how both Endless Mode(s) toggle the extra unlockable characters - they now need to be enabled through a new toggle on the Endless Mode menu

- If the Pal Boss Max Mode is beaten, akin to the Base Game Max Mode, you now unlock an ADDITIONAL Virtual Pet to care for. It's twice the fun!

- Added a new small sequence whenever the Percy's Best Friend song is playing

- Added pitch-shifting audio to a majority of the Custom Hour modifiers

- Added an easter egg to a particular section of Puzzling Power

- Updated Helios' Game Over tip

- Updated the in-game credits

BUG FIXES:

- Fixed a few minor issues where the "Hold E to skip" prompt in the Repairing Percy cutscene would remain on-screen in places where it shouldn't be visible at

- Tweaked Helios' AI a little - he can now laugh in the bottom corner cameras (Cam 01 / Cam 04) to indicate his position and to not confuse players

- Fixed a bug where Helios could disappear from the cameras / not laugh when moving to the left or right side of the building

- Fixed a bug with the Friday Rowen / Polly sprites messing up

- Fixed a few bugs relating to selecting the skins

Changes in 1.9.4:

- Polished a lot of the skin selection code, it should be a lot more streamlined now and less choppy

- The game now remembers what skin you have saved when returning to the Main Menu through any instance

- The "Enable Extras" modifier in both Endless Mode(s) now give +2 points instead of -2 points

- Fixed a minor bug with the Farmer's Serenade final reboot section in certain instances

- Possibly fixed a bug where Retro Hijinks could softlock you after getting a jumpscare

Changes in 1.9.5:

- Pal's Cups now move every 0.21 seconds instead of 0.08 seconds to prevent them flying off-screen at random. I know this will make the cups seem slower, but now they should work without fail

- Fixed a bug where for Helios, if the cameras were down, and he moved to the LEFTMOST side of the building, he would break completely

- Fixed a bug where E.M.Pal/Sally would display the Pal Percy's stats in Virtual Pet instead of her own stats

Changes in 1.9.6:

  • The Color Blindness Setting now alters the Simon Says minigame in Farmer's Serenade

  • Replaced the sound that is used when honking a nose in the Main Game/Friday Morning

  • Changed some of the Game Over tips for certain levels/characters to be a little easier to understand

  • Changed some of the descriptions in the Farmer's Serenade minigames to be a little more helpful

  • Changed some of the descriptions in the Settings to be a little easier to understand

  • Improved the hitboxes for the honkable objects in the Main Game

  • Improved the Color Blindness Setting in Puzzling Power overall

  • Updated the Polly Possum render in the Characters section of the Bonuses

  • Updated Midarcher's Team section as per his request

  • Updated (or more accurately, reverted) TightSock's Team image to remain consistent with the others

  • Updated the final message in The Credits to guide you on how to change the Pal Percy to its different skins

  • Updated the Prize Box screen to include mentions of unlocking the skin for the appropriate character

  • The Prize Box screen now fades out after 7.55 seconds instead of 5.55 seconds to reflect the changes made to it

  • Fixed a bug where the sprites for the skins (including base skin) on the Pal Percy didn't update/display correctly

  • Fixed a bug where the food sprite for the Feeding Task on the Pal Percy "lagged" behind a little

  • Fixed a bug where starting Friday Morning in the Freeplay made you start with 2 minutes instead of 3 minutes

  • Fixed a bug where you could still click on certain objects on Friday Morning during the final moments

  • Minor optimizations

PLAYTIME'S NOT OVER YET - an original fan song based on Playtime with Percy, made by @hysteridungeon , is going live TODAY!

This is something I got to do the artwork for, with the addition of bringing on a few friends to help with as well.

BE THERE!

It might finally be time to give you a purpose, Chum Charlie...

Happy Halloween!... And an ALSO happy 1-year anniversary to the short animatic we released around this time - "Percy's Playhouse in: Hallowed Hijinks"!

Did you know there's only ~9 days left to buy a plushie of your best PAL, Pal? (Or more accurately, the Pal Percy Plushie!)

If you didn't, well, there's still time to get one before it's too late!: https://www.makeship.com/products/pal-percy-plushie

"BY THE HOUR" just had it's first "night" release, the theme was "Just Keep Moving", which you... well, just keep moving!

You can download the first 3 games down below. Tune in when week 2 drops in the following two weeks!

And before I forget, "By The Hour" Night 3 has released as well! The theme this time around, is "Super Scary Stuff" - just in time for Halloween too, how ironic!

I think this might cause a chain reaction, but there's no better day to talk about this than today! Since around February me and @Vampymatsu (alongside other PTwP contributors) were working on a super elaborate date-sim game starring both Nick and Pal.
