[h2]v0.9.7 Change log[/h2]
[h3]General changes[/h3]

• Tutorial for controls at the start of the game
  
• The camera can now be freely rotated at any angle. To rotate, hold RMB or LB (gamepad).
  
• Now you must hold a button to pick up an object. This was implemented to prevent accidental pickups.
  
• Added an undo last action button (Ctrl+Z). Currently, it only works for moved objects.
  
• Collision mode was added. In this mode, objects take into account surfaces of other objects and try to position themselves without overlapping others.
  This feature can be disabled in the snap settings (button with magnet icon).
• Snap settings window has also received a design change.
  
• Objects can now be deleted from the actions menu.
  
• Holding a button is no longer necessary to access the object actions menu.
  
• The actions menu now supports more than 6 options.
  
• Improved gamepad controls in the actions menu.
  
• Curtains and radiators can now be moved or deleted.
  
• Room can be fully cleared from the main menu.
  
• A confirmation popup now appears when exiting the game.
  
• A block with the latest news and feedback buttons has been added to the main menu.
  

[h3]Bug Fixes and Optimizations[/h3]

• Removed the graphics setting for medium global illumination. The high setting now has the quality of the medium setting from before the update, as the high quality was too resource-intensive and the difference in quality was not very noticeable.
  
• The animation for placing objects on slanted surfaces should now be correct.
  
• Increased cursor sensitivity when playing with a gamepad.
  
• Fixed navigation in the objects menu when multiple columns are active while using a gamepad.
  
• The camera can now be rotated and moved during object painting and menu navigation while using a gamepad.
  
• Fixed an issue where objects would be placed on the surfaces of other objects at a slightly different angle.
  
• The paint option no longer duplicates after copying an object.
  
• Fixed some errors in localizations for different languages (thanks to the volunteer localization team)
  

Demo version has been updated (v0.9.6) on Steam!

General changes

• The movement of objects is now more sensitive and should feel slightly better
  
• Objects now rotate in 45-degree increments by default. You can turn this off in the snapping settings (button with a magnet icon)
  
• The following hotkeys have been added:
  W A S D - Move the camera
  Z C - Rotate the selected object
  
• The speed of the camera movement now depends on the zoom. The closer it is, the slower it is for more convenient placement of small objects.
  
• The hint in the corner of the screen now shows not only mouse control, but also keyboard hotkeys and gamepad.
  
• Added VSync option to graphics settings, which is enabled by default for new players. The option can be enabled in the frame rate limiter parameter.
  
• Added graphics preset determination depending on the video card for new players (the list of video cards will be updated)
  
• Added a system of anonymous analytics, which will help to catch problems in the game.
  

Bug Fixes and Optimizations

• Fixed the ability to move the camera too far from the room and get lost
  
• Fixed icons of some objects that were displayed at the wrong angle. Mostly these are objects that are usually placed on the wall
  
• The game should now launch in full-screen mode by default instead of borderless mode. Relevant for new players who have not yet set up the display mode
  
• The build includes an installer of necessary components to avoid errors when launching the game
  
• Optimized neon tube lamp, it previously had a strong impact on the frame rate, especially in large quantities
  
• Fixed some errors in Russian, Polish and Thai localizations.
  

Hello everyone!

I'm pleased to announce that the demo version of Furnish Master is now available on Steam for Windows, Linux (including Steam Deck), and MacOS! The demo version will be available for free until the game's release.

As for the release, I would like to announce a release date for Furnish Master - October 18th, 2023!

However, I would like to remind you that I am the sole developer of this game, working on it in my spare time, so I don't want to make false promises and I will say right away that the release date might slightly change to the end of 2023. There is also a good chance that the game will be released as an Early Access rather than a full release, as there is a huge amount of features that I would like to add to the game, but I don't have enough time due to constraints. I hope for your understanding and support, I am really trying to do everything to make the game as good and high quality as possible for you!

I also want to express a huge thank you to all the subscribers on Twitter and Discord, who support the game and who have suggested cool ideas for improving Furnish Master, as well as to the testers in Discord, who helped to catch bugs and errors. A special thanks to the team of volunteers who helped with the localization of the game into several languages.
