Happy holidays! Time for the second big Garden Guardian update; CUSTOMxEYEZ!

Welcome to Garden Guardian's CUSTOMxEYEZ update! This update adds a few ways for you to tailor the experience for yourself!

First off, the new Customize Menu! This new area of the game lets you tweak the game's visuals in a couple of ways. First off, you can now change the background art on the Main Menu! You'll start with a handful unlocked, and can collect eight more backgrounds by working your way through the game (when you load up your save data, you might even unlock some right out of the gate).

Secondly, there are now four available UI layouts! Newly added are a more lightweight UI layout and two new classic layouts inspired by the look of Game & Watch games. I'd like to thank my friend Aaron Schmit for helping out on some assets for the Classic UI! 

Finally, Garden Guardian joins the ranks of Video Games In Which You Can Colour Yourself Like Your Favourite EVA Unit with the new shear colour options! You can change the left and right shear handle colours independently, so get out there and find your best look!

As with the last update, there are two new Awards to unlock and four new images added to the Art Gallery. Additionally there are a few bug fixes in place that improve some UI behaviour and adjust when the game performs autosaves (in a good way).  

Garden Guardian 1.2.0 - CUSTOMxEYEZ

CONTENT 

• Four new images have been added to the Art Gallery. 
• Two new Awards have been added to the Stats & Awards menu. These also include corresponding Steam Achievements and Art Gallery entries. 
• Customize menu has been added to the Extras menu. Users can adjust the background for the Main Menu, toggle between a few Gameplay UI presets, and change the colours of Snippy's shears. Users can unlock eight new Main Menu backgrounds and two Gameplay UI Presets, and depending on a user's progress, some may be unlocked immediately when the user loads their save file for the first time in 1.2.0.

AUDIO

• Updated voice clip used when opening the Sound Test menu.

MISC.

• Save Data indicator has been moved to another location onscreen to reduce instances of it overlapping other UI elements.
• Made adjustments to save data logic related to receiving unlock notices in the Main Menu. This fixes instances where the game could perform multiple saves after each notice window under certain conditions.
• Updated credits.

The next major update should be the last major content drop for the game, rounding out the second page of Awards and polishing some rough edges- keep an eye out for it in the new year. Speaking of which, happy holidays! Wishing you and your families the best. <3
