Hello!

This patch adds more preparation for the upcoming Boys in Hawaii! expansion, featuring several touchscreen-specific updates to improve the experience when playing on a touch device.

Kemopop! will get a ceremonial bump to 2.0 with the release of Boys in Hawaii!. This will signify a milestone and the release of a major new feature. A small sample of it has been snuck into this patch...!

Apologies, as it seems the mobile version had been neglected for a while... @w@. Please do raise bug reports if something doesn't look right, I'll read them.

• [Gameplay] The Hotshot bonus now applies a multiplier to the special charge meter.
• [Gameplay] Dropping hazards that cannot make a match (e.g. tar) will not reset the Hotshot combo.
• [Gameplay] The tar ratio on Sencha's stage has been adjusted.
• [UI] Updated the Hotshot score effect.
• [UI] When playing with the mouse, the cursor will change to a weaker crosshair to signify pieces cannot be dropped.
• [UI] Improved the fidelity of the sphere backgrounds.
• [UI] Removed the old Golden Gate bridge background from the Photo Mode, as it is not used anywhere anymore. Geomecs's redraw of this background is now in the Gumball Machine!!!
• [UI] Removed the first run setup screen.
  • Touch controls will be enabled automatically if Android is detected.
    • Players not enabling this on Android would suffer, so it's best they have it on until they are in a position to figure out how to turn it off, if they absolutely need to.
    • Most PC players probably did not immediately need to see this option.
  • Display language is inferred from the system locale and can still be changed through the settings.
  • Difficulty can still be changed through the settings.
• [UI] Increased the size of the scrollbar, making it easier to grab on a touch device.
• [UI] The title screen now has a button prompt, rather than "press any button", as pressing any button could just close the game.
  
• [Android] Install DLC: This new tool on the settings menu will come in handy soon.
• [Touch] Button prompts are now hidden when Touch Mode is enabled, to reduce unnecessary clutter.
• [Touch] Hidden touch controls on more scenes where explicit controls aren't necessary.
• [Touch] The directional arrows on the touch interface (seen in photo mode) are now correctly anchored to the bottom left corner.
• [Touch] Touch interface controls will give feedback to indicate a button is pressed.
• [Touch] Touch interface controls will no longer grab focus.
• [Touch] Interacting with the touch controls will no longer move the position of the sweet launcher during gameplay.
• [Fix] Addressed several instances where inputs on the touch interface would frequently not register.
• [Fix] The directional arrows on the touch interface were not reactive.
• [Fix] Improved the display of several elements on wide aspect ratios, including the settings and biography overlays.
• [Fix] Improve navigation on the character select screen. Navigation would be unpredictable in certain circumstances.
• [Fix] Biographies would not display on a non-Steam version of the game.
• [Fix] Unwarranted extra typing audio in the ending cutscene, and the volume has been adjusted.
• [Fix] Crash when creating Demo-tan.
