Pou 4 v1.1


In short, the game is smoother around the edges. It plays better, it looks better, and it definitely runs better. Runs so much better, in fact, that when I tested it on my phone it was actually playable, so I've decided to also release an Android version now.

Detailed changelog:

  • Technical
    • Updated to Godot 4.4 beta 2
    • Significant optimizations and tweaks around the game to make it run more smoothly (Minecraft 2 also got optimizations and should no longer struggle)
    • Graphics overhaul with each effect being better utilized and more visible, such as volumetric lighting and voxel-based indirect lighting/reflections, and some effects such as SSR were removed due to having no actual effect
    • The physics engine has been switched to Jolt for better physics, and physics interpolation is enabled to look smoother at higher frame rates
  • Gameplay
    • Lowered the chance to ask for access to your device's location
    • Added ray effect and control tooltip when using Magneter Poison, and fixed the jittering with it
    • Flier Poison now gives you wings and grants a great movement boost while jumping, making it a formidable mode of transportation if rich (its jump boost is also higher now)
    • Helicopters are reworked to be less buggy and faster
    • Scooter is now faster, wackier and you can hop while riding it
    • Wheat now stacks and keeps growing (unless it's unloaded), making PvZ much more convenient to farm
    • Shovels are better, when yanking plants you now lose neither the shovel nor the plant
    • The clouds now have 4x as many coins and there is now a related achievement
  • Misc
    • Changed icons for several of the poisons
    • Concrete requirement halved so it is less of a grind
    • Minor writing tweaks
    • Fixed incorrect diamond requirement in a mission
    • Fixed diamonds already being red when respawning
    • Fixed the "I eat bread" achievement
