Patch 1.5.2 | The "Final Update" Edition

Please update your copies of the game to this version, thank you! Changelog below (SPOILERS)


- First and foremost, WE FIXED THE LAG ISSUE IN THE PAL BOSS! If the boss lagged for you over time, please download this patch and it should be fixed.

- Hopefully fixed a bug where you could earn the "Efficient Worker" trophy by escaping Puzzling Power / Farmer's Serenade Post-Night Tasks instead of beating them as intended

- Updated the Warning Screen to elaborate that this game is not for those who get overwhelmed easily (The boss difficulty is fine as-is, if someone like Dawko can beat it then I am sure you can as well!)

- Fixed a bug where on low-end PCs the starting Tip could appear more than once, but if it still does that just keep dismissing it

- Fixed a bug where on low-end PCs the starting Tip couldn't appear and soft-lock you from starting the Pal Boss

- Possibly fixed a bug where you couldn't get the Secret Ending by clicking the Star on the Main Menu (If this still happens, go to the Ending Cutscene, skip until the Credits end, and then you should be able to get to it)

- Added a star for when you earn an S Rank in all 5 levels, this DOES NOT count to 100% though and it's just a bonus reward you can earn

- Added 2 new "marks" in the Custom Hour screen for when you beat either one of the Max Mode(s)

- Updated a few mistakes in the Characters tab in the Bonuses menu

- Updated The Poodle Pals in the Characters tab in the Bonuses menu to elaborate on the fact that they are the same character set as The Playful Poodles and not different characters

- Updated the Credits slightly

- Added new graphics that show how much time you have left to survive during the Final Charge sequence of the Pal Boss

- Hopefully fixed a bug where the Office Carts in the Pal Boss could lock up randomly without being told they could

- Fixed an issue where in Puzzling Power, the movement could have been really slow on low-end PCs

- Fixed a bug where if you clicked the Food task while the Water task was complete in the Virtual Pet Mode, the game would act as if both were clicked at the same time

- Fixed a very major bug for low-end PCs where the Maze Task couldn't be completed as the ball went out of bounds / was generally slower than the rest of the tasks

- There is now a sound that plays when you click the "Back" button in Virtual Pet Mode

- Added a thing where if you have beaten the Max Mode for the Base Game, re-beating it now only displays your time taken instead of the preset message telling you to check the Bonuses menu

- Fixed a few grammar issues found throughout the game

- Updated the tips in the later Pal Boss Charges to be a little more elaborate/specific


HOTFIX V1.5.1: Removes a weirdly left-in debug key as well as fixes some minor bugs with earning specific achievements

HOTFIX V1.5.2: Fixed a bug where the music in Retro Hijinks didn't stop playing like it was supposed to

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!

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