New game launcher & Cheatmod

For now you will be asked whether you want to launch the game old way or with the launcher.

As we're slowly adding modding and extensions support, the launcher comes with simple solution to DLL modding. The launcher is also targeting .Net4.8 so required framework will be automatically downloaded and installed if missing.

Cheatmod

Cheats as used to be in game are now only enabled with the cheatmod, as to prevent accidentally using them and then not being able to finish achievements.

Cheats currently in game are:

• L + I = add points
  
• L + U = level up / fill stomach in survival mode
  
• D + X = kill self
  
• F4 = ON/OFF - AI takes control over your fish ( we've been using this to debug behaviors, but then it's quite useful or fun to play with )
  

Modding - current state

Currently modded DLLs can be placed into custom folder inside the "/Mods folder located in the games local files.




Those with "Assembly-CSharp.dll" (if checked) will temporary rewrite "/Feed and Grow_Data/ManagedAssembly-CSharp.dll" with the one inside the mod folder, and so the game will be launched with that dll.



In close future we will be adding content modding via Unity Assetbundles downloaded by steam workshop. So far we're planning to implement custom maps, scenarios, fish and their skins.
A complete guide to creating mods (DLL and Content) with examples will be published as soon as steam workshop gets turned on.

Thanks,
As always, looking forward to next update!
