Update: Scarecrow Cryptid

A new cryptid has been added to the game: The Scarecrow!

The scarecrow moves whilst offscreen, tracking down players quietly so that he can get close enough. As soon as you enter his kill range, the scarecrow will transform into a terrifying stretched out form and chase down the player! Keep a close eye on him since even if he's visible he may take tiny steps towards players.

The scarecrow contains lots of animation and sounds, so he took a little longer than expected. If you have scopophobia he may not be for you. I'm really happy with how the chase animation came out, it's bouncy and fun!

Hopefully this will be a good addition to the game! For the first week with this update the scarecrow will have an increased spawn rate. He lasts much longer than the other cryptids since he won't attack on his own.

Along with this update comes a few bug fixes and a pause menu! I'll be working on the pause menu to let players disconnect from a game or change options. Right now it contains 2 pages of controls so that new players can learn how to play faster.

Thanks for continuing to play Cryptid Farm, let me know if you encounter any problems with the scarecrow, whether they're bugs or if they're just plain scares!
