Progress Update for V0.9!

Hey everybody, i dont usually post on reddit progress updates but i thought it'd be a nice change of pace!
Theres quite a bit of new stuff coming so get comfy.

Im currently building an account system for the game!

Very cool login menu~

Why?
Theres a few good benefits to this!
Features like leaderboards and community mazes require me to know who is the owner of what and tiptoeing around it will be impossible.
But with this, i can add lots of stuff that i simply couldnt before!
Not to mention cloud saves, the browser is a valid version of the game to play on since your game is stored in the cloud!
Also now hosting competitions would be a breeze, i could easily find the winners (be it a giveaway / leaderboard competition / etc) and drop their code in their game, so they'll see it when they open their game!
It also makes supporting you guys alot easier without needing you to send me files.
Aaaaand im very hopeful to get a multiplayer Hamlet experience going, sometime in the future when everything is restored :)

The first time you open the game with the new update it will recognize your local save and will prompt you to make an account to link the save to it, so you're not losing on any progress or hamsters!

This is what you'll first see if you played the game at all!

But dont worry, the game does NOT force you to make an account, its really recommended for you to do so, but i made sure the game is playable without one and without an internet connection either. Not having an account does mean you will not be able to participate in online activities such as leaderboards or future maze sharing content.

if you DO have an account you can still play offline, the next time you login it will ask you if you want to sync your local save that you grinded your hard earnt moolah on to the cloud!

Local save of course.

Now speaking of game features.
Key Craze is basically complete!

Look at the timer i speedran that.

Key Craze in the original game gifted players Webkinz items, something that i cant do so its set to give maze tubes or rooms instead! ill make sure to increase the item pool once we get more maze rooms / tubes working models.
Now that we have more than just Moolah Mountain as a playable mode, daily activities will only give their reward on their first win of the day! You can infinitely replay them, but you'll receive nothing but the satisfaction of seeing your hamster being a badass (leaderboard progress also).

After some tinkering and switching services, leaderboards are coming back to Moolah Mountain but thats not all, timed Hamlet challenges have their own leaderboards now too!
In addition to all leaderboards, they now sport a weekly tab so competition wont grow stale.

Beat my score i dare you.

I fixed alot of broken UI in the main menu that didnt act right (especially in the Catalogue).

I added support for replaying past events! (And of course updated new areas to have matching looks for these events)
You can change the current event in the settings menu, and if you missed any of those events / rewards, you'll be able to earn them in your own time now!

Giftmas is my favorite. Though April fools...

There are a few more additions and bug fixes coming but you'll have to wait to see what else is coming!
Im hoping to release all of this this month, its alot of new features that require playtesting so it might drag to mid next month but ill update you on that!

Thanks for reading!
