ChangeLog:

Post LD version:

#### 10.5. Minor Bugfix&Performance + Mothers Day Update

- Name Changed to "Nature Defense - The Spirit Stone"

- Added Mothers Day Suprise

- Upgrading one thing on an Animal now increases the cost of all upgrades for that animal. (OP Bunnies are no longer a thing :( )

- Fixed bouncing Terants

- Panning now disabled if the mouse is over any UI element

- Fixed Creatures getting stuck

- Added Info on how much NP every Plant currently Generates

- Performance Should be slightly Better (The main offenders are animation updates tied to FixedUpdate (animate Physics setting) and later there are serveral fixedUpdates for each Update. I increased fixed Update timestep and did minor optimizations in other places But if anyone knows a solution for this please let me know. (Other than Switching away from root motion and not using the physics system, which I want to avoid))

#### 5.5. QualityOfLife Update

- Added Settings Menu

- Added Wave Progress Bar and Next Wave Button

- Added Health Bars

- Added Speed up (up to 8x) and pause

- Reduced Standard difficulty significantly (Waves spawn every 60s instead of 45s)

- replaced all 2D Icons with 3D models

- Complete Rework of Nature Tree

-- You can now upgrade health, Attack and respawn rate independently

-- hovering over an upgrade button will show how much it upgrades

-- Affordable upgrades glow yellow

-- In the tree you see which species you can unlock with a lock symbol and upgrades with an arrow symbol

- Made the lighting darker and moodier

- Creatures stuck in the water or glitching through the map will now slowly die

- flying Spider and Terant Bug solved (hopefully, it has not shown up for me)

- Minor Bug fixes

#### 26.04. Balance and Sound Update

LD version

1H post deadline crash fix for end screen

#### 21.04. Day one Bugfix:

- End screen does now correctly show which wave you died on

- After restart you don't keep the unlocks from the last game anymore

- keep playing button does now remove win message

- Bridge hitboxes are fixed and no longer visible (the grey in the bridges was not supposed to be visable)

- summoned enemies (terants from wizard and spiderlings from big spiders) now resume towards the stone once they killed an enemy, this had often blocked the bridges

- wizard cool down for summoning terants fixed, he could summon them infinetly fast

#### 22.04. Hopefully final LD version fix afterwards starting on Post LD

- wizard is no longer completly broken

- fullscreen is now working properly for everyone i think
