Hi folks, a new patch is on the way out! Heres what it contains:

Improvements

• Changed the color of the cursor on the 8-bit equipment menu to contrast better with the background
• If youre playing with a timer and use a cheat or take a map screenshot, a letter C will be appended to your time (indicating that a cheat was used)
• Time spent in menus, dialogue and cutscenes is counted by the timer (only generation is excluded now)
• Your final time, and the name of the ending, is now shown in the credits if you play story mode with the timer enabled
• Added an easter egg

(Note that the timer still works by counting frames and dividing by the frame rate. Itll still drift a bit versus a clock on your wall, but after discussion on Discord, it was determined that this was marginally better than people being able to game the system by forcing a low framerate.)

Fixes

• Fixed some challenges starting the player off with two bows
• Fixed items hanging in the air if you pick up and throw a snail

Due to the timer-related changes, the challenge leaderboards will be wiped. Old scores will still be accessible by link, but will not be shown by default.
