• [p]Added an unlockable Time of day slider to Processing mode, so you can quickly and easily adjust the natural lighting while taking photos.[/p]
  • [p]It will show up once you've unlocked the 'time change' ability (Level 5) AND have purchased all available time slots.[/p]
• [p]Added an Intensity slider to the Filters menu in Processing mode, so you can dial in a specific amount of the filter's influence.[/p]
• [p]Added a small icon to each puzzle slot, letting you know if it's been previously completed.[/p]
• [p]You now get a few credits each time you delete a photo.[/p][p][/p]

[h3]Tweaks[/h3]

• [p]Improved the fur on the male lion's mane.[/p]
• [p]Improved the shading of fur animals when they're wet (during rain).[/p]
• [p]Reduced the difficulty of the 'maze' labyrinth.[/p]
• [p]Card Shop info now shows the current Trade Card's number.[/p]

[p][/p][h3]Bugfixes[/h3]

• [p](Maybe) Fixed an issue that some users were having with the Processing menu that would freeze the game.[/p]
  • [p]If this is still happening for anyone, please let me know in the thread about it in the Bug Reports forum, and I may ask for a log file.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where some displays weren't showing 1920x1080 as a resolution option even though their monitor should support it.[/p]
  • [p]This is a somewhat experimental fix, so if it still doesn't work, let me know![/p]
• [p]Fixed a bug with input glyphs, where if you had a gamepad connected but weren't using it, gamepad glyphs would still continue to show up.[/p]
• [p]Fixed a bug where rebinding inputs with a gamepad could sometimes cause the game to freeze. As a result, rebinding gamepad inputs is temporarily disabled, but trying to do so won't freeze the game anymore.[/p]
• [p]Fixed a missing localization text with the Safari Match game.[/p]
• [p]Updated the Japanese translation for the White-Bearded Wildebeest.[/p]
• [p]Fixed some small seams on the 'Brown Tabby' cat texture.[/p]

• [p]Fixed a bug where you could use a hotkey/button to open the summon window for an animal you didn't have the 3-star card for.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where taking a photo right after adjusting focus distance in Processing mode could leave the focus indicator visible in the taken photo.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where gamepad input wasn't working with the lodge telescope (right stick now moves the camera).[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue in the Card Shop where you could refresh the trade slot with a button input without having the slot selected. The game now also shows an input glyph when you're able to refresh via button press.[/p]
• [p]EDIT: This build went live with a bug pertaining to opening a pack right after you've traded your points for a card, but it's now been fixed.[/p]
