Hello, everyone! Please Be Happy 1.2 has just been released, which fixes a few issues and makes various user experience and performance improvements. Not too much has changed on the surface, but the game has undergone significant technical changes internally in 1.2 for a better experience now and into the future. As always, thank you for continuing to support Studio Élan! 〜 Karen/あけみ (akemin_dayo) and adirosa [h2]Changelog for 1.2:[/h2] On PC, it targets Unity SDK version 2021.3.33f1. [list] [*] Improved ED video and audio quality. [*] Made further improvements to general performance. [*] Made improvements to the Episode Replay feature. [*] The current version of the game is now shown at the top-left corner of the main menu. [*] The main menu can now always be closed in every context (as opposed to only when ingame) using Escape, Right Click (MOUSE2), or the configured cancel button on a controller. [*] The quick menu can now be shown and hidden using Backspace or R3 on a controller. [*] The CG gallery viewer can now be controlled using a keyboard or controller. [list] [*] Escape (keyboard) or the configured cancel button (controller) closes the CG viewer. [*] H (keyboard) or Triangle / Top Button (controller) hides the UI. [*] [ ] (keyboard) or L1 and R1 (controller) flips between pages, if applicable. [/list] [*] Fixed an issue where the Extras → Gallery screen would sometimes show the contents of the Credits screen instead, if a very specific set of steps were taken. [*] Fixed some minor UI layout issues. [*] Worked around a Unity bug that would cause the game to run locked at 30 FPS on certain system configurations. [*] Worked around a Unity bug that causes VSync to sometimes become momentarily disabled under certain circumstances, resulting in a spike of elevated GPU utilisation as a result of drawing frames at over 5000(!) FPS for a brief period of time. [/list] [h3]Very technical information for modders, dataminers, and anyone else who may be interested[/h3] [list] [*] Scene scripts are currently still left in serialised binary format. This will change in a future update. [*] A new preferences file was added: ${[url=https://docs.unity3d.com/2021.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Application-persistentDataPath.html]Unity persistent data path[/url]}/com.vnstudioelan.pleasebehappy.json [*] PBH 1.2 is the largest update so far in terms of the number of non-external-user-facing internal changes — large portions of the code have been rewritten and/or refactored, and a whole lot of new code was written, too. Additionally, 1.2 also finished porting over everything that's useful in Unity / C# from the shared Python codebase used by our Ren'Py games. [*] Much like Ren'Py, you can now call arbitrary method selectors using the developer console command [code]@performSelector ExampleClass.exampleMethod withArgs:"optionalExample1","example2"[/code] [list] [*] Shorthand form is [code]@p a:[/code] [*] (※ This is mostly only useful for testing purposes during development, and is also far less powerful than its Ren'Py counterpart. Any relevant output is written to [url=https://docs.unity3d.com/2021.3/Documentation/Manual/LogFiles.html]Player.log[/url].) [/list] [*] Some of you may have noticed that partial controller support was quietly added in 1.1.2. Please note that UI menus are still not yet navigable using a keyboard or controller. [*] While support for controller prompts in the UI (including in the help screen) has been added, it is not yet exposed as a user-facing option, and currently requires a restart of the game to take effect if manually enabled either via editing the preference file mentioned above, or via the developer console. [list] [*] This also applies to the confirmation button preference, which is currently not functional beyond just affecting the controller prompts UI. [/list] [/list]
