Changelog

All notable user-facing changes to Gig Line. The format follows Keep a Changelog, and versions use Semantic Versioning.

[0.9.0] — 2026-11-01

Added

• Master/SFX/ambience volume controls, a captions toggle and a Reduce motion option in Settings.
• A 24-NPC performance budget smoke and expanded audio/accessibility coverage.
• Explicit production-quality scope for animation, audio, localization and the Godot 4.3-CI/4.7-local support matrix.

Changed

• Coat and dress strides are shortened to reduce hem/leg clipping.
• Help and the shift-review surface expose the current policy and accessibility settings.

Fixed

• Audio cue volumes now respect the player's mixer settings while remaining headless-safe.

[0.8.1] — 2026-11-01

Fixed

• Normal radio reports now send on click. The button was wired only to the emergency hold-to-confirm handlers, so a non-emergency press did nothing.

[0.8.0] — 2026-11-01

Added

• A first-shift tutorial with contextual prompts, a safe visitor and replay/skip.
• A three-venue campaign shell with shift progression and a Continue action.
• Resume-from-checkpoint for paused shifts, including NPC, incident and system state.
• Easy/normal/hard difficulty presets for spawn pacing, compliance tolerance and report strictness.
• A searchable in-game Help overlay with controls and the current venue policy.
• Recovery events, contextual NPC dialogue and an eligible-event debug preview.

Changed

• The shift review now includes venue policy, campaign next steps and continued review controls.
• Event scheduling suppresses recently played scripted events and respects the difficulty spawn multiplier.
• Save data is written atomically and split into settings, campaign, shift history and versioned checkpoint files.

Fixed

• Missing/older settings migrate through defaults; a partial write cannot replace a valid save.
• The HUD debug overlay now refreshes and shows the next eligible events.

[0.7.3] — 2026-11-01

Fixed

• Mouse look now reads relative motion at the _input stage, so a full-screen HUD or focused control cannot swallow it while the cursor is captured.
• Mouse capture is restored after window/compositor focus returns, and clicking back into a gameplay window recaptures it instead of opening the radial menu.
• The HUD is mouse-transparent; its presentation controls no longer block gameplay mouse input.

[0.7.2] — 2026-11-01

Added

• Automatic OpenRouter model selection for the screenshot judges: the cheapest currently available image+JSON-capable model is used, with ordered fallbacks and a pinned GIG_LINE_JUDGE_MODEL/--model override.

Changed

• The judge reports the model that produced each verdict and fails clearly on an invalid API key instead of retrying other models.
• The screen-design and realism reports now include the fresh judge results.

Fixed

• The blocked screenshot judge now runs with the valid OPENROUTER_API_KEY (13/13 screen designs match, 0 diff).

[0.7.1] — 2026-11-01

Added

• An optional Desktop HQ build for Windows and Linux that uses Forward+, volumetric fog and SDFGI, packaged with an override.cfg beside the executable.
• Volumetric flashlight haze in the Desktop HQ build, with a LATE-phase preset tuned so the entrance facade stays readable.

Changed

• The normal Compatibility build remains the default; the preset only affects the extracted Desktop HQ copy.
• Night-time light falloff adapts to Godot 4.7 while keeping the 4.3 baseline unchanged.

Fixed

• The flashlight no longer disappears at night on Godot 4.7 under the old attenuation curve.
• Headless and Web builds stay non-volumetric and boot normally when Forward+ is unavailable.

[0.7.0] — 2026-11-01

Changed

• Agent workflow now requires maintaining this changelog for every patch, minor, and major version.

[Unreleased]

Added

• Distinct venue geometry: the Joke Shop is now a narrow brick alley with a shuttered facade, warm wall lantern, dumpster and AC clutter; the TV Studio has a stone facade, bulb-lit canopy, glossy black car and a stanchion/barrier line at the door.
• The README gallery includes captured Joke Shop and TV Studio views.

Changed

• Venue geometry is data-driven through WorldBuilder.VENUE_SPECS; switching venues rebuilds the world while keeping the guard and UI intact.
• Each venue has its own navigation bounds and concept-gallery mapping.

Fixed

• The Joke Shop no longer renders the Hollywood skyline or marquee.
• The TV Studio no longer uses the boulevard marquee or palm-lined layout.

[0.6.1] — 2026-11-01

Added

• Per-phase AI skyline panoramas (day, dusk, night) replacing the flat box skyline.
• Higher-detail surface textures with normal maps (brick, concrete, asphalt, awning, and more).
• A runtime image root (assets/images/) with a UI and scene art loader; the start menu, pause, settings, shift review, radio, wand, inspection, and radial menu are styled against their mockups.
• NPC face and hand detail: eyes, nose, lips, ears, fingered hands, and cuffed sleeves.
• A staged NPC portrait capture for judging avatar quality up close.
• Gear-fit checks (tools/blender_assets.py fit) and regression tests for head and back gear.

Changed

• Scene lighting, fog, sun angle, and night glow retuned to match the AI concept frames; the Late phase uses wet asphalt.
• The flashlight is a tighter forward spot that reads in the dark.
• Sunglasses narrowed to sit inside the face silhouette; shoulder bag moved clear of the coat and dress skirts; firefighter helmet lifted off the brow.
• The README now links to focused docs pages for gameplay, architecture, setup, asset tooling, development status, and the manual smoke checklist; PLAN.md was compacted into a design plan.

Fixed

• Sidewalk overexposure at the entrance reduced to match the concept target.
• The body-camera overlay no longer overlaps the shift/reputation/crowd status.
• Selecting a venue releases the menu input lock and recaptures the mouse.
• The shoulder bag no longer clips through the coat's skirt; the firefighter helmet no longer cuts into the brow ridge; the portrait subject now faces the camera.
• --portrait-type is now parsed and applied instead of being ignored.

[0.6.0] — 2026-11-01

Added

• Blender-authored character, gear and prop library with baked ambient occlusion.
• Higher-resolution environment textures with tangent normal maps.
