Pre Alpha - Version 0.0.0.1.0a - The Settings Update

10/10/2024

Welcome to the Pre Alpha of the game! It's time to polish everything a little more

- 'Gems' have been renamed to 'Innovation Points' to better fit the theme of the game. Their old icon has also been replaced

- Added some options to the settings menu: FPS value, music volume, animated props disabling, shadow type, shadow quality, window mode and screen resolution

- Implemented a warning pop up window when pressing the 'Prestige' button to inform new players about its purpose... and to prevent inmediate regret (believe me, it can happen)

- Added a "click focus system" when in a "general view interface" - in other words, when the interface is not set to an specific building, clicking any of the buildings zones will set the interface to that of said building

- Implemented a text with the name of each building / general view interface, for clarity and orientation purposes

- Added three mouse cursors: a generic one, another when the mouse is hovering over a button and a third one for the "click focus system"

- When pressing the "Make Coffee" button now, a coffee sprite will appear momentarilly to improve the "clicking feedback". Different sprites can appear, depending on the level of the first click upgrade, up to level 1024

- Refactored the props loading, achievements checking and buy max upgrades calculations code for improved efficiency

- Replaced Unity's PlayerPrefs to a better saving system with a JSON file

- Converted some integer variables (mostly upgrades levels) into doubles to prevent future value limitations

- Created new variables for some "magic numbers" (mostly upgrades' base cost and cost multiplier) that are used in more than one place or will be modified in the future

- Fixed an important bug: when buying the second click upgrade in buy max mode, the increment in quality was only 1 when it should have been 5 per level

- Changed the 3d models of the fast food and diner (formerly restaurant) buildings to better represent the idea that they are roadside businesses between cities
