Artifact - 0.80.04 Hotfix

Mostly bug fixes and cleanup, along with a new setting and some work on performance.

The Steam upload is live; the itch upload is having some issues but should follow soon after.

  • Added Sexual Preferences to the Gameplay menu. Men, Women, and NB / Futa can be toggled individually, or cleared altogether. This only affects situations where you're trying to resist arousal.

  • Fixed an error that could cause Mikah's bedroom link to do nothing

  • Updated the Neutralino configuration, including the fullscreen settings, and corrected some configuration errors.

  • Changed audio loading so the game doesn't try to preload the entire audio library at startup.

  • Moved the breathing effect onto the vignette overlay and removed the extra brightness/contrast animation

  • Adjustments to the map and NPC portrait panels

  • Removed the tutorial NPC's incorrect voice

  • Fixed an issue that could cause the player to get stuck with a black screen on campus when reaching >=50 suspicion

  • Fixed multiple eye overlays showing for infested characters

  • Fixed an issue that caused XP gains to not play their sound

  • Further image and audio performance improvements.
