-### Recent Updates by Litruv 
-- **GitHub Actions**: Automated Windows builds on every commit
-- **StreamDeck Integration**: Add buttons to enable the streamdeck plugin that was built in
-- **Rotation Wobble**: New sprite rotation effects with frequency and amplitude controls
-- **Enhanced Modifier Keys**: Support for complex key combinations (Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Cmd)
-- **Godot 4.4.1 Support**: Updated for latest Godot stable release
+A fork of [kaiakairos/PNGTuber-Plus](https://github.com/kaiakairos/PNGTuber-Plus) with some quality-of-life upgrades, editor polish, and a few power-user toys.

-- **Original Project**: PNGTuber Plus base application
-- **StreamDeck Plugin**: Based on [BoyneGames StreamDeck Godot Plugin](https://github.com/BoyneGames/streamdeck-godot-plugin)
-- **Enhanced Features**: Max Litruv Boonzaayer
+## 🔧 Fork Changes (Litruv Edition)
+
+### 🎛️ Opacity Controls
+
+Added a proper opacity slider for sprites, with an "affect children" toggle. Clip masks still behave like they should.
+
+![Opacity Demo](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d5a05508-1cb1-46e0-8c90-d0aac73398db)
+
+
+### 🌀 Rotation Wobble
+
+Sprites can now do a subtle (or chaotic) rotational wobble. Frequency + amplitude sliders included.
+
+![Rotation Wobble](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f45c3cc8-98d8-48cf-8821-b015de0a2f78)
+
+
+### 🔗 Wobble Sync Groups
+
+Keep multiple sprites in sync with wobble sync groups. Create groups, assign sprites, and all wobble parameters (X/Y/Rotation frequency, amplitude) automatically sync across group members. Perfect for ears, hair, accessories, or any elements that should move together.
+
+* Create custom sync groups with descriptive names
+* Assign multiple sprites to the same group
+* Edit any group member's wobble settings to update the entire group
+* Visual indicators show which sprites are synced
+* Groups persist in save files
+ 
+
+### ⌨️ Enhanced Modifier Keys
+
+Supports combos like Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Cmd. For people with more keybinds than fingers.
+
+![Modifier Keys](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6d492134-f929-4e3e-a6c6-a89cf16cd62f)
+
+
+### ↗️ Editor Middle Mouse Button Panning
+
+Hold MMB in the editor to pan around the scene, it'll reset when you go back to live.
+
+![Panning](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b8687b69-fc84-43c9-950b-70395ae54820)
+
+### ↗️ View Mode MMB Shake
+
+Hold MMB in view mode to shake your character, Show off them physics!
+
+![viewmodeshake](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/536dc4ae-0562-494f-8cd0-2d2ef115f085)
+
+
+### 🎞️ Delta Time Physics
+
+Physics are now framerate-independent. Low FPS won’t make your character move in slow motion anymore. 
+Just smooth, consistent jank if that’s your thing. Great for stop-motion vibes.
+
+
+### 🎤 Microphone Fixes
+
+Merged in [k0ffinz’s](https://github.com/k0ffinz/PNGTuber-Plus) audio tweaks:
+
+* Reduced mic startup delay
+* Better loudness detection
+* General stability improvements
+
+
+### 🧱 Engine Update
+
+Updated to **Godot 4.4.1** — no more editor nags or compatibility weirdness.
+
+
+### 🎚️ StreamDeck Integration
+
+StreamDeck plugin was already in, this just wires up the buttons.
