Hi! just some bug fixes here. Modders will be happy to know that I removed the forced crash when you had more than one file of the same name. It'll now just show a warning in the loading screen. Having assets that share the same name might create unpredictable results, but nothing game breaking, probably.

• mini chase mutations now push each other way

• fix wrong player icon sometimes showing up on title screen
  
• fix shatter effect sometimes not happening when Evil Friend is defeated

• Duplicate assets of the same name will no longer force a crash, instead a warning will display on the loading screen
  
• polish unused Bomb enemy
  
• polish pinecone object
  
• polish unused Smughole enemy
  
• polish unused evil acorn enemy
  
• you can now ride on "Decoration" objects that have collision (Mine Cart, Tv, Table, etc.)
  
• fix LightningCloud crash
  
• hid some more unused uninteresting objects in the level editor
  
• changed preview image for Bed
  
• Evil Friend now properly gives you a cookie in custom levels

Hi! Just some bug fixes and small changes here.

Namely I moved the Custom folder into the cloud storage folder. Existing stuff should automatically get moved there. But if you're into modding/level editing you should be aware of the new location.

Looks something like this on Windows:
NEW: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\zachisagardner\garbanzoquest\Storage\Custom\
OLD: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\zachisagardner\garbanzoquest\Custom

I also renamed the Custom Characters folder, Custom/Costumes was a little confusing. It's now "Characters", not "Costumes".

Anyways see below for the whole change log. As always thanks for playing and messing around with the modding tools!

- Zachary

• Custom folder and Drawings are now included with Cloud Saves
  
• Custom Characters folder renamed to "Characters" from "Costumes"

• fix room misalignment in Scrape
  
• fix possible 2 Player glitch with Trinketly

• Text in _Special now has an argument for fading out over time
  
• add visuals for FilterBadge
  
• polish RockWorm

Hello again!

Here come's another round of changes and bug fixes. Modding tools got some improvements, you can now add your own characters! The level editor got a lot of love too. It should be less cluttered, less buggy, and generally easier to work with. Pretty soon I will be looking into setting up the Steam Workshop (or some alternative). The documentation for these things is also a bit lacking and I will be looking into fixing that soon. For now there's some basic getting started info in the Garbanzo Quest Discord and on the official website.

I'm excited to share with you the first patch after the full release of Garbanzo Quest! The response for the game has been so awesome! It's funny I thought that things would slow down at least little bit once the game was out, but nope! I've been pretty much just as busy as the weeks leading up to release 😅. There were plenty of little bugs cropping up here and there, but thankfully nothing too catastrophic. I've also made some small changes and additions based on feedback. You'll also find some improvements to the level-editor/modding tools. I'm excited to keep improving the game's modding tools and to make other additions/changes!

Anyways, thank you everyone for playing and sharing your feedback! See below for a list of changes.

Garbanzo Quest is my pride and joy and I'm so excited to share it with you all today after 3 years of full-time solo development! I hope you have as much fun playing it as I did creating it.

Making this game has definitely been one of the hardest things I've ever done. But even now, my only hope is that I get to make more games after this one!

I'd also like to thank all the people who helped make this game a reality.

And thank you for playing! A work of art is not complete until it is experienced! So thank you everyone for helping bring my silly little video game to life.

After 3+ YEARS of hard work it's finally happening! Garbanzo Quest v1.0 will be releasing on September 4th and exiting Early Access! The game has come a long way and I'm really excited to release it to the public. I'm truly confident that I've done everything I can to make a really cool and new experience.

The game as it is now is pretty much done, I could probably release it today and it wouldn't be too catastrophic. But I will be taking the extra time between now and September 4th to make extra sure the game is ready and that it gets the polish it deserves.

Thank you to everyone who has played the game in Early Access all these years. Your feedback has been so incredibly helpful in making this game the best game it can be.

Anyways, see ya September 4th!

- Zachary

Just a little fix here! In 0.7.5 I introduced a crash that would occur when you harvest a plant in the farm area. A simple typo crashed the whole game, wow!

Thanks to everyone providing feedback and bug reports, it helps a lot!

I'm pretty close to getting into work on 1.0, but not before I add some speedrunning quality of life features! These changes aren't just for hardcore speedrunners, I think people who want to do subsequent playthroughs will appreciate these as well. I think the dialogue adds a lot of character to the game, but if you're a speedrunner playing through the same segments over and over I get it if you just wanna focus on the core of the game. See the change list below for more info!

CHANGES

• There is now a toggle in the Options Menu for "Faster Cutscenes." With this enabled many cutscenes are shorter, faster, or non existant.
  
  • Bosses say less or nothing when encountered.
    
  • Friends say less or nothing when liberated.
    
  • After you beat a level, you can move while the path is revealing itself.
    
  • Building Badges and Customizations is instant
    
  • Any text crawling will crawl twice as fast.
    
  • Any fade out/ fade ins will animate twice as fast.
    
  • You don't have to jump out of the bed in the start
• There is now a toggle in the Extra Menu for "Impatient Mode." With this enabled there are various menu options relating to Speedrunning enabled.
  
  • When making a new file instead of the cute questionnaire, you'll get a purely utilitarion menu. In addition to Name, Character, and enable Tweaks there are new menu options for Faster Cutscenes, Show Timer, Set Tweaks, and Start with All Badges.
    
  • You'll also find the "Reset" button on the Pause menu and File Select menu. This will delete your file and create a new one with the same settings that you set when you started it. Worn cosmetics will be kept as well.
• The cutscene for finding a collectible is now faster once you've built something with the corresponding collectible type. Not just when Faster Cutscenes is enabled.

BUG FIXES

• Fixed a softlock for the boss of world 3 if you did "Retry Room" after defeating them
