there is now a "SELECT" button in the system save manager, you can choose an EP to start at! the save will be bare bones, but get you to the spot you want to be. let me know if any weirdness crops up with it! (of course if you visited earlier today, it may take a hard refresh to get to show up)

A have a lil' question (one I think I should've asked sooner): my old laptop didn't handle the proxy fight too well, I had too much lag, so I ended up stumped in the uncosm. Is it possible for me to progress to the other content without facing the entity or not?

@ninacti0n, sort of! the uncosm entity is optional, but there is another similar system in use near the end of this new episode. although I was talking with someone about fixing the choppy proxy movement and we may have a solution for that soon! i wanna see if I can get that written tonight or tomorrow cause that really bugs me

gonna see if we can implement WEB WORKERS to get the proxy movement off the main thread, the issue is that setTimeout and setInterval are way more framerate sensitive than I thought initially

P.S. sorry you ran into that, I know you aren't the only one and it must be super frustrating!! but I'm gonna try and fix that before getting ahead of myself with adding more stuff

@corru Oh, don’t worry! It’s alright lol, I’m used to not being able to play games on my PC. I was surprised it had managed to run corru.observer, even if the 3D areas were slightly laggy at times. I’m super happy you’re hoping to fix the proxy movement soon, I can’t wait to play the battles!

EP2::"█████████ has repaired another portion of the ███████. ████ implements an unconventional solution to access it. The mystery behind the ████████ begins to unravel." - begins after the end of EP1 content, ends fairly clearly

this will be the beginning of an arc that exists in the same little world this has created, using the same systems for the next few updates at least!! hopefully this means we can get them out a little faster, too!

additionally - the confusion of reaching the end of an episode and wondering 'what do i do next' has been alleviated through a new button that appears when you're done with a portion of older content, along with some other little improvements here and there

there will be other little improvements coming up soon, like an 'EP selection' that gives you a barebones save to get you up to whatever part you want to start at!

I just realized MS Paint's spray can looked strikingly similar to your game's rendering, and couldn't resist: https://www.deviantart.com/ninacti0n/art/Hello-there-FRIEND-945852712 Hope I did your aesthetic enough justice lol, this piece was both a test to my patience and a blast to make :']

@corru Ohoh, thank youu!! In fact, it took me a while to get all these twisted angles right lol, mister birdman was the toughest of them all... I'm flattered you enjoyed it, it was such a wild ride for me to recreate your aesthetic with the best of my ability... CMYK and 3D-esque dithered visuals for the win!

this is some typo/bug fixes, some updates to the proxy thoughtform system, and!! a new "low intensity" option in the system menu for people with older machines (or people who just don't like the proxy system)!
this is separate from just "low quality" because enabling it gives you additional choices before sequences where you would normally use a proxy thoughtform, to replace the sequence with something else!
proxy thoughtform movement has been moved to a web worker, which should generally make it work nicer across more systems, but i fear that it may not be enough - so that's what the low intensity option is for
finally, the 'low' quality setting has also been updated to change the animation style of proxy thoughtform attacks to be either linear or use steps(), so that they're less animation intensive as well... my hope is that this makes it all a little more accessible
Ooh, how perfect! I just logged in, and gave the changes you added to the proxy system a test drive. It's considerably tighter than before! I managed to go smoothly up to a certain point, when the lag spikes got me again, but it's already a superb improvement in the performance!
Also, I'm very grateful for the "low intensity" setting, since idk how graphically intensive other proxy battles will be for my PC (I'll be always willing to give them a go since I find them fun lol), plus it helped me progress in the uncosm! Thank you so much for the update, Corru!
And before I go- I played EP 2 earlier today, and had a total blast with the new mechanics!! For real, they were surpringly smooth on my machine and were a heckin' lot of fun! And even with the proxy lag nearing the end, I managed to go all the way till that part concluded! Can't wait for more of your stuff!
