Fixed a couple of minor bugs. Grenades will no longer kill enemies if they (the grenades) happen to be falling off the edge of the asteroid. Crisis has a purpose in life even if QBob is dead. Fixed an orphaned line of text in the final cutscene. Also, repaired a major Mac build error.

  [/*]

A tiny update that fixes some intermission animations and some game meta info in the new Mac builds.

After much work we finally have QBob: Remastered running on MacOS and Ubuntu Linux! In theory, Ubuntu support also means that the game should run natively on Steam Deck! Take that with a grain of salt though: we don\'t own a Steam Deck and are unable to test it out for ourselves.

Some other tweaks in this latest update:

• Some more control fixes, including an annoying Paintgun glitch

  [/*]

• Added some more Paintgun sounds

  [/*]

• QBob grunts if he\'s caught in the explosion (grunting fans rejoice!)

No sooner did we send version 1.0 out that we discovered a game crashing bug in the level set-up code.

Turns out that deprecated code that I removed did a bit more that I thought it did. Never fear though, I have replaced the suspect code and squashed this bug!

After nearly a year of development, Qbob: Remastered is ready to be released to the world! I'm sure there will be a few patches in the coming weeks as we send out the game to more testers, but for now the game is complete. This final push included just a couple of updates:

• A handful of new taunts from the final boss

  [/*]

• Replaced a soon-to-be deprecated Gamemaker function to hopefully future-proof the code for the foreseeable... um... future.

  [/*]

We're getting very close to the final build of QBob: Remastered!
