Golfing In Aether Update Released [Alpha 1.2.1]

Todays update is a continuation of yesterdays with more back-end fixes and general tidy-ups. I’ve also made further revisions to how XP is handled for leaderboards, so please give feedback on that :)

If you are enjoying the game please don't forget to add it to your wishlist.

[h2]General[/h2]

• Added “Pathfinder” XP award worth 25XP that is achievable on holes where you would normally have to take a pipe and you’ve been creative and figured out your own path. This is equal XP to the “Shortcut” XP on these levels.

[h2]Environment[/h2]

• Added a small bend in the pipe in “Gentle Swing” to cause a slight reduction to the ball’s travel speed.
  
• Fixed an unfinished wall bit near the fence on “Gentle Swing”.
  
• Fixed an unfinished wall section on the hole-in-one down ramp in “Go For It”.

[h2]Interface[/h2]

• Added improved caching and handling of the primary profile which will decrease disk read during menu creation, further increasing the responsiveness of menu appearances that perform checks what accessibility settings are active.
  
• Fixed the “Press A to Join” text on choose profiles menu not having correct coloring under dark theme.
  
• Fixed appearance of borders on some new elements not having suitable color for dark theme.
  
• Fixed an issue where if you switch menu theme and quickly returned to menu at the start of the game the setting wouldn’t remain saved.
  
• Added additional scoreboard row entry at no reduction of size to other elements, this is mostly fixing some spacing issues from a recent update.
