BUG FIXES

• Fixed balls not hitting pegs when moving too slowly
• Credits will no longer feature people that inspired items that aren't in the game yet (they will be included on release don't worry)

Nothing important down here I just wanted to yap about behind the scenes changes because nobody will ever see them.

I did a big change to how item descriptions work so now I can do funky stuff in them like changing text dynamically. Some unreleased items already make use of this feature.

Another bigger change was updating to Godot 4.5 which just released. There weren't any immediate changes needed on my end but that doesn't mean there isn't some new weird hidden bug somewhere in the game now, or maybe the opposite and some random thing just got fixed lol. Apparently the engine update improves performance on web drastically so all my itchy gamers might have a more fluid experience.

Have fun with the update, and remember, hes always watching.
