Dittobyte/Recompia v0.8.2

Pokopia Recomp 0.8.2 (build L: Lemur)

on GitHub

Update: press Update in the launcher, then Set up again once when it asks (camera aim adds hooks, so the game is rebuilt; your saves and shaders are kept).

Highlights

• Added Add to Steam (Settings > Game > Steam): put Recompia into your Steam library, with its artwork, so it shows in Game Mode and Big Picture on a Steam Deck or any PC
• Added Koi's Camp, a new look for the launcher: a bright hand-drawn picture behind it, by Koi (press Colours in the sidebar to try it). Koi drew it while the bug fixes and the new features kept Jerban busy, so thank you, Koi, and sorry for the wait
• Camera aim now runs the game in its Joy-Con mouse mode during normal play (camera aim is still off by default, see Gameplay). Everything else in the game is as in 0.8.1. Sunrise is still the launcher's default look

Gameplay

• Camera aim now runs the game in its Joy-Con mouse mode during normal play
  • Before: camera aim turned the aim to where the camera looks, and the game stayed in its normal (facing) mode
  • Now: with camera aim on, the game is in its Joy-Con mouse mode during normal play with any controller or the mouse, whatever its own mouse option says. The pointer stays at the centre of the screen and the camera still turns with the mouse and the right stick. Camera aim's targeting applies in both modes, your tool is not switched to Rock Smash, and the game's own pointer is not shown
  • Still not: camera aim stays off by default (Settings > Game > Gameplay or [pkp] camera_aim = 1); the Mouse mode key (free pointer) leaves mouse mode while it is on; only the first player is covered

Launcher

• Added Settings > Game > Steam: put Recompia into your Steam library with its artwork, so it shows in Game Mode and Big Picture
  • Before: you had to add a Non-Steam Game by hand in Desktop Mode, set the launch option --play yourself, and find or make the pictures
  • Now: two buttons. Game in Steam adds a shortcut named Recompia that starts the game at once; Launcher in Steam adds one named Recompia Launcher that opens this window first. Both come with the artwork, drawn by Koi (the Testing build uses the Testing icon and says Testing in the name). Close Steam first and start it again afterwards. Remove takes the shortcut and its pictures out again; your other shortcuts are not touched, and a copy of Steam's shortcut list as you had it is kept the first time (shortcuts.vdf.recompia-backup, never overwritten).
• Added an optional Koi's Camp look: a bright daytime picture behind the launcher (artwork by Koi, hand drawn)
  • Before: the colours button switched between Sunrise and Dusk, both with the same island picture
  • Now: the button (Colours in the sidebar) goes Sunrise, Dusk, Koi's Camp. Sunrise stays the default, and nothing changes unless you press it
  • Still not: Koi's Camp has no setting of its own yet; it is picked with the colours button, and the launcher remembers it
