Patch notes 1.4.3


This a huge update to the game, completely reworking the catching mechanics to create a much different experience. We decided our previous approach to bug catching didn't capture the idea of a fun bug collecting game where the focus is more on catching many bugs, so we decided to rework how the net works in order to streamline the process of using the net we felt would still be interactive and rewarding to the player. The changers are as follows:

-Net position on screen has moved to allow better view
-Direction of net swings can no longer be influenced by the player
-Net catching success is now based on proximity
-Player now must lock on to a bug by clinking and holding left click before releasing to swing their net
-UI of a ring will now appear around a bug that has been locked on to
-Ring UI will change from red when the player is far from the bug to yellow when they get closer then will turn green when they are close enough to successfully catch the bug
-Ring UI disappears radially to indicate remaining time the player has to catch the bug before it escapes (bugs escaping is not yet implemented)
-Main menu tips have been changed to provided better instructions for how to use the new net mechanics
