Major Update to Square-Mate!

Square Mate is receiving its first and only major update!

After getting feedback from people in the Brackeys Game Jam, I decided to put out an update before ending development. A few bugs were fixed and the visuals were slightly improved. A changelog will be added at the end of this post. 

The first major problem I had was that the audio.  It wouldn't persist between deaths or scenes and a lot of people were annoyed by this. After a lot of research on how to make objects Don't Destroy On Load, and about 3 days of work, I finally got a working audio script. I improved it to have sound effects and the audio was finally good.

Particles were the next hurdle, but I was able to use a system from an old project. I spent hours working on making the texture of the particles work, until I realized I wasn't using the correct format for the material. 

I was going to add more levels but I felt that the simplicity and shortness of the game would be lost and I had no ideas for new levels, so I just decided to improve character switching and be done. The scroll wheel took a bit of time to get it working correctly and after I finished it was easy enough to finish the rest. 

The original version will receive an update as soon as the game jam is over, as I can't add new files while it is in progress. The game is not completely finished , as there are a few bugs, but I'm going to leave it be.
