- [p]Added better texture compression to reduce the file size of old textures.[/p]
- [p]Made so players can't build a furnace in the demo. This was causing confusion. The building doesn't serve a purpose in the demo because there are no ore deposits in the demo area.[/p]

- [p]Reorganized some of the controls menu to be more intuitive.[/p]
- [p]Player buildings now stop rendering when they're further away. This helps improve GPU usage for players with large bases or houses when they are further away from them.[/p]

[p]
Fixes[/p]
- [p]Fixed hostile NPCs spawning directly next to the player under certain conditions.[/p]
- [p]Fixed inventory items not stacking when you quick transfer them between inventories (Such as chests).[/p]
- [p]Fixed bug where you could swap two inventory items to bypass inventory slot restrictions (Such as placing a twig in your armor slot).[/p]
- [p]Fixed bug where under certain conditions, crafting an item would use more material than it should.[/p]
- [p]Fixed player cursor showing during cutscenes.[/p]
- [p]Added file corruption detector. File corruption is rare. It can happen when your computer is writing a file to disc but is forcefully interrupted (Such as crashing while saving). This system can automatically reset those broken files back to default.[/p]
- [p]Fixed bug where mouse sensitivity wouldn't apply your settings when you first start the game.[/p]
- [p]Fixed bug where NPCs wouldn't play any footstep sounds under certain conditions.[/p]
- [p]Fixed objects that fall through the map getting repeatedly teleported back up. They will now have a teleport limit.[/p]
- [p]Fixed game version text not displaying the word "Demo".[/p]
- [p]Fixed raids going on indefinitely if a raiding enemy was spawned somewhere where they can't reach the player.[/p]
- [p]Fixed companions being able to be assigned to multiple beds. For existing saves, this will take effect next time that companion is assigned to a bed.[/p]
[p][/p][h2]Q&A[/h2][p]As promised, we've randomly selected questions, now here are the answers![/p][p][/p][p]
Q: How long have you been working on Tropical Monster Girls?[/p][p]
A: Development started some time early last year, so around a year and a half.[/p][p][/p][p]
Q: Is this your first game on Steam or have you launched others before?[/p][p]
A: We've released a few games as a team already and we even have another game coming out a week after Tropical does. Before we were a team, each of us had been working in the game industry for years.[/p][p][/p][p]
Q: How many girls will be in the full game?[/p][p]
A: Early Access will launch with 5 companions you can rescue. We have immediately plans for adding one more. If you want more updates on this over the course of Early Access, you can join our 18+ Discord.[/p][p][/p][p]
Q: How many biomes will be in the full game?[/p][p]
A: There are 5 biomes releasing with Early Access. We're open to adding more in the future but don't have any immediate plans.[/p][p][/p][p]
Q: Will the girls ever initiate you? Or does it always require the player to initiate?[/p][p]
A: The companions will go about their normal day, exploring, doing jobs, etc. It will always be up to the player to initiate using things like the bed.[/p][p][/p][p]

Q: How big can the game become?[/p][p]
A: It's hard to say. The game is already huge, especially for being a small team. So it won't double in size. We'll focus on making what already exists better and add on to it.[/p][p][/p][p]

Q: Will there be any DLC content?[/p][p]
A: We're focused on full release, we haven't really discussed DLC content internally. We're open to suggestions from the community.[/p][p][/p][p]And with that, we hope you have fun![/p][p]~Captain Cake[/p][p][/p][p]
