Fully migrated the project from the original GameMaker 1.4 source to GameMaker Studio 2024.

Converted the game to run at a clean fixed 60 FPS.

• Fixed a major memory leak tied to repeated enemy targeting checks, which could build up over long fights.

• Restored the [c]rm_Game[/c] fast-forward button so it speeds gameplay up again instead of staying at normal speed.

• Removed the wave-end hitch caused by an unnecessary texture flush when the next-wave button appeared.

• Reworked screen transitions so the wipe now fully covers the screen without leaving a gap on the right.

• Improved the transition visuals to use the cropped [c]bg_transition[/c] gradient with a trailing fill so the screen closes cleanly.

• Fixed gameplay properly pausing when menus or the in-game guide are open.

• Added [c]Esc[/c] to skip the splash screen.

• Fixed the feeder-room crash involving [c]obj_eater[/c] and [c]obj_slop[/c].

• Fixed the [c]rm_Feeder[/c] background fading/washing out incorrectly over time.

• Added a saved 1-minute potty timer for the litterbox minigame.

• The potty minigame now ends automatically when the timer expires.

• Feeding and potty timers now reset properly after starting a new run or entering feeding.

• Fixed [c]Chow[/c] and [c]Potty[/c] button availability so they unlock and relock correctly instead of getting stuck.

• Added a bigger "ALL CLEAN" celebration popup for fully cleaning the litterbox.

• Added confetti-style reward feedback to the litterbox cleanup celebration.

• Removed the background box from the cleanup celebration so it's just bold text and effects.

• Reduced extra target-search overhead in several combat/tower logic paths.

• Added cleanup for a lingering UI data-structure leak.

• Fixed the reported long-session/final-boss memory overflow risk.

• Fixed Steam store promo links to use the proper Steam overlay store call instead of the browser call.

• Updated Steam overlay handling and cursor behavior to prevent the post-overlay mouse lag issue.

• Switched the [c]obj_other_games[/c] promo click flow to mouse release, which resolved the lag after closing the Steam overlay.

• Fixed the first promo entry in [c]obj_other_games[/c] so it opens correctly.

• Fixed repeated wolf skill animation playback in [c]obj_boss[/c] so [c]sp_wolf_skill[/c] no longer only plays once.
