v0.11 Nova's Theme, Last Minute Final Touches and Additions!

Heyo everyone! This was actually a pretty busy week. There were a lot of last minute things I decided to do on top of the final touches. This means I didn't really get to in-depth bug testing.... oops.. let's hope everything is still okay lolol. I'm going to break this down in a fairly brief manner.

Basically the first half of the week was entirely dedicated to finishing the escape sequence, and polishing transitions between phases, level mechanics, and final flare. Some aspects were a bit of a headache, but we got through them

Upon defeating Weeble2, Lana takes control of his rail.

After that was simply connecting all the scenes and Hscenes together so they can all be properly accessed. Right now Nika's "Extra" Hscene is accessed through an Event like TanyaxRooster. This will likely change in the future, but it is currently how you access it.

From here, Wishful Simping had finished Nova's boss theme. I implemented her theme (As you can hear above). After this I actually decided to do some balance adjustments to her fight, and a couple additions here too.

>Fixed a bug where if you fought Nova for a while, the buildings would stop looping properly.
>Made it so when Nova is in phase 2 and uses her missiles, she also explodes all nearby buildings
>Made volume adjustments to some SFX in the fight.
>Buffed her red ball damage.

>Reduced some lighting in Neos.

Finally, last night I decided to see if I could finish up keybind implementation.

So, I'm happy to say that both Keyboard/Mouse, and Gamepad keybinds have been added. I fixed things up, so that binds in party select, and in-game read if you are on gamepad or not, and show the corresponding binds.

With all that said, that doesn't necessarily mean gamepad support is where I want it to be. When the UI overhaul happens, it should help a lot with gamepad functionality in menus.

With that, v0.11 is completed. There were some other things I wanted to get in, but they might have to wait until the next update unfortunately. There were some mouth variants for Lana's Hscenes, and a pop-out POV window for Nika's extra scene.

Unfortunately I still need to break this up, rig, and animate it before implementing. For now the animation will just be the 2nd part of this.

Alright everyone! Thanks a ton for the support! v0.11 launch is just in a couple days, and next week is going to be focusing a new "Extra" Hscene for v0.12. This next Hscene is going to contain Tanya, and Male Aether. It is going to give function similar to the brothel, except with Male Aether. This way if the player does not want to go the route of Female Aether, they can still get the perks of credits in an Hscene.

Catch you all in a couple days with the launch of v0.11, and next week with some motion on this Tanya animation!
