Camera jittering fix.

Hi folks! This update tries to fix some issues people have been encountering where the underwater camera jitters uncontrollably. We hope this will make the game more enjoyable!

10,800 copies in 6 days?!

[p]When we released Loan Shark, we thought it would be a small, quiet launch, just a fun way to learn how to publish our first game on Steam. We had no budget, no publisher, and only 3 months to make it. Honestly, we didn’t expect much.[/p][p]But here we are, six days later, with over 10,800 copies sold and a ton of amazing messages, reviews, and videos from all of you. I mean, the game is in the Top Sellers tab here on Steam![/p][p] We can’t even explain how much this means to us.[/p][p][/p][h2]What’s next?[/h2][p]Your feedback has been incredible, and we’re putting it to good use in two ways:[/p][p][/p][p]A patch for Loan Shark We’re working on fixing some of the most common issues you’ve mentioned, like the boat timer running out but the boat not arriving to port, the janky knife, the spinning camera, and more. I’m holding off on releasing it right away because I want to bundle a bunch of fixes together at once, to minimize the chance of breaking something else in the process.[/p][p][/p][p]Making the next game even better
Every bit of feedback about Loan Shark is going straight into our next project, like how much everyone seems to desire having multiple endings. We’re keeping what worked, improving what didn’t, and aiming to deliver something even more polished.[/p][p][/p][p]Once again, thank you for supporting us. You’ve turned our first little experiment into something unforgettable.[/p][p][/p][p]Stay tuned, both the patch and news about our next game are coming soon.[/p][p][/p][p]Nicola[/p][p]Studio Carota[/p]

Fixed some minor rendering bugs

Hi folks! This patch should just fix some rendering bugs some people are having, including the game defaulting to the OpenGL renderer even though the game doesn't support it.

I'm still gathering info on the camera spinning so fast it crashes people's game!

Cheers!

Thank You from Studio Carota!

[p]Hey everyone,[/p][p]We just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Loan Shark is our very first game release, and we honestly had no idea what to expect. Seeing the incredible response from all of you has blown us away:[/p]
  • [p]4,600+ copies sold in just 3 days!!!!![/p]
  • [p]52 reviews, sitting at Very Positive![/p]
[p]For a small debut project, this is absolutely beyond anything we imagined. Every time we see someone post a screenshot, share their experience, or leave a review, it means the world to us.[/p][p]We’re reading all your comments, reports, and feedback. While we might take a little time to figure out certain bugs, please know we’re committed to improving the game and making sure your experience is as smooth as possible.[/p][p]Two members of our tiny team are taking a short break for Ferragosto, but I’m staying here in Turin, catching up on everything Loan Shark and preparing bug fixes. And yes, we’re also already working on our next game.[/p][p]Once again, thank you for making our first launch unforgettable. You’ve made this totally worth it.

Fixed main menu issue

Some players weren't able to select the main menu options with their mouse. That should be fixed now!
