Major Update To Match Nintendo Switch Release

Hi all! To celebrate the North America release of the game for the Nintendo Switch (More information here!), we're happy to announce that we have released a major update for the game on Steam! HOORAY!
A big thank you to all our wonderful Kickstarter backers!

NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS

We've added a variety of skins to the game for you to equip on to TY! These are all unlocked from the start of the game, so you can have fun straight away!
All video cutscenes in the game now have subtitles!
We've completely remixed the audio for many of the major cutscenes in the game, adding in more and improved audio beyond anything that we could previously imagine (back when we had to fit the whole game into 32MB).
Added Kickstarter backers to the credits. Thank you to all you wonderful people!
Rendering performance improvements on minspec graphics cards.
Improved level loading speeds.
Improved visuals of grass rendering.
Uncovered original high res map art in a TY 2 backup archive instead of the earlier upres (for the pause screen maps), barely escaping with our lives after a poor attempt at replacing the files with something of equal weight.

BUG FIXES

Prevent using the Action button to activate a trigger while a dialog is playing (because the user is likely intending to skip the cutscene, not trigger something).
Fixed issue with the opening of portals to boss levels, if the player doesn't complete the cutscene sequence after obtaining a talisman.
Fixes for several memory leaks.
Fixes for several particles that were being added to the shadows for the levels.
Enabled Anti-aliasing in the pause menu (if that graphics option is enabled).
Fixes for several rendering errors with shared materials.
Allow fall dive into shatterable objects in water. Fixes issue with sometimes being unable to shatter an underwater crate in Bridge on the River TY for Rex's diving tutorial.
Fix graphical artifact in Outback Safari if a rang with a light (flame/frost) is equipped.

(Please note, the game will release on the Nintendo Switch for Europe on the 3rd of April; and for Australia/New Zealand on the 4th of April).

G'day mate! Things can be a bit confusing at times, so let me remind you what's going on...
You are TY, the last of the Tasmanian Tigers. Raised by a family of Bilbies, you can only vaguely recall your real parents. You've always thought that all the other Tassie Tigers died a long time ago.

But then the Bunyip Elder found you, and told you that your family is alive, but trapped in the Dreaming. Now hold your horses... don't get upset... you see they're not stuck there forever, if you're up for a bit of an adventure!
You see, deep in the Outback, there's this kind of glowy portal thing that is a doorway to the Dreaming. And around that portal there are some carvings in the rock, where five ancient mystical Talismans used to lay. Now, all you have to do is find the five Talismans, put them in the carvings, and the portal to Dreaming will open!

Now, before you go off like a frog in a sock, there's just this one SMALL problem. You see there's this evil cassowary - Boss Cass - who's also after the Talismans. Yes. THAT Boss Cass. The one that trapped your family in the Dreaming in the first place, and told the school board to remove all the meat pies from the tuck shops. And if you didn't think that made him enough of a megalomaniac, he's ALSO trapped a whole bunch of your Bilby mates in cages all across the outback... something about overdue library books... Anyways, if you want to open the portal, you'll have to beat him and his henchmen to the Talismans!

Don't worry though, you won't be alone! You'll have a bunch of friends to help you along the way, including me - your old mate, Maurie. Now let's get down to brass tacks, find those Talismans, and rescue your family!
