Bugfixing
Polish
This week I improved and did minor tweaks to the new behaviours and items for the Slice of Life update. This is because next week I am planning to release this update!
One very useful new improvement was making the robot stand still when you approach it with the scissors or comb. Normally it's always looking around and it can be finnicky to use these tools with the robot moving around. So now it detects and poses in place so you can go in and tweak the robot's appearance.
This also works for when you are adding an eyeball or a wig. The robot now stands in place.
Additionally I had time to add a couple new animations whenever you change the robot's hair. It now reacts by swaying or flipping its hair whenever you change its hair.
Bugfixing
The work done this week for bugfixing was purely for saving and loading. Many of these new features such as customizable hair model, color, etc. have new variables that must be saved in your session file.
I was using Newtonsoft Json serializer and deserializer and it's annoying that Unity does NOT support the serialization of gradients or even Colors. So I had to write Json serializers for those data types.
Stay tuned for the update next week!

She looks so cute standing still! I sometimes find it a bit tricky to plug in her head since she keeps looking at me. Just a suggestion if it doesn't go against your vision - but maybe she could stand still when we're plugging in her head jack? No worries if she doesn't have to
