HONK 3.0a coming this week!


If HONK 3.0 has one overarching theme, it's STABILITY. I'm fixing just a couple tiny things in the UI and will pushing it live this weekend (6/4 or 6/5). So, what's different?

Audio system rework!

HONK's audio system has been entirely replaced. You'll notice that your characters are more responsive. You'll also notice that desync issues have been fixed!


Shortcut / Undo-Redo fixes

The shortcut system has been causing creative streamers grief by responding to shortcuts when the app isn't focused. This is resolved now!

Various fixes

HONK has had various fixes throughout the project. Most too small, but all from  the amazing bug-reports everyone has been sharing with me in the Itch.io thread. Thank you everyone for sharing the roadbumps you've hit! It's invaluable to HONK's development.

Coming in 3.1, Animation support!

I'm not certain if I'll be supporting frame APNGs or GIFs, let me know which you'd prefer! But up next I'm working on adding animation support to HONK.

THANK YOU ALL!

HONK has been a blast to work on and I'm excited to keep it up. I had a 2-month long hiatus while my day-job and burnout pulled me away from the project. Thank you all for your patience and continued support of HONK. 

In the interim I worked on ToDoMon (a game that will come out someday... Also where HONK's frog mascot Grombit is from) and Eronoctosis (which is available now). Working on them has been a breath of fresh air and I'm excited to get back to HONK.

is it somewhat possible to add the possibility to swap quickly between models on the upper left corner with a keybind ? Thank you for the hardwork, hope you are well, my little Peepo says hi !

would love a Mac version. This app sounds perfect!

Also can't wait for the addition of animation implementation. Either GIF or APNG is fine. I think APNG is less resource intensive on a system, but I could be wrong. High Quality GIFs can be done, but usually are rather large in size, which could pose a performance issue.

Cannot wait for the animation implementation so we'll finally be able to be less statick-y and more breath-y hehe

Thank you so much for this update! I just wanted to ask if it was possible to be able to add a feature where you can put a different set of animation or image when a certain sound threshold is reached. 

I had this idea of making a PNGTuber where they are just talking normally but once they scream, they will show a more horrified expression. I don't know if this is too complicated or not but I just thought I'd ask.

Thanks again for all the work that you've put into this software! I'm having a blast using it!

Hoping mac support comes out eventually :{

Thank you so much! I thought the project had been abandoned and I'm so glad these updates are coming up.

Thank you so much for the update!! I'm using Honk as a streamer and I really love it! It'd be awesome if we could get GIFs into it! And also don't forget to take care of yourself before anything else <3

This is all appreciated. I do think Honk's audio system is the best.
I hope that I can use these new features when they're ready, I have more ideas!

AAA! I am looking forward to this so much! ;-;)
Personally I use a lot of Gifs and it's usually easier to make! At least for me. :3 

AAA! You're doing amazing work and looking forward to future updates!

Ps. Please take care of yourself and take breaks regularly. (´∀`)♡

And noted, 1 point for GIFs. : )
