Thank you for your purchase and support. Although the specific amount cannot be disclosed, the total profit of gamepad massage is now reaching the publishing cost of the game (100$). Thank you very much. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- As you can see, I have updated the game several times in the past few weeks without writing any update reports. The updates themselves do not seem to affect the game content too much, except for performance improvements. In fact, over the past few months I have focused on the development and update of the cyan_potion game engine without putting much updates to the game itself. This is because: 1. The purpose of the game is to guide the player to learn how to write code to control the vibration. The current version of the level design is sufficient to meet this need. 2. I think putting more levels won't bring a better gaming experience, because according to predictions, the content provided is enough for players to play for 20+ hours, and most players would loses interest within that time. 3. Refineing of the engine itself can significantly improve the gaming experience. For example, in the current version, the time required to load a font at the beginning has been reduced to about half of the original version. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- But the facts tell me that my prediction may not be perfect. I analyzed the player achievement statistics, which showed that most players passed the game far more quickly than I expected. Interesting. Therefore, in future versions, we will update more levels. (and add more achievements.) We plan to offer 8-16 additional levels in the next month. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- Recently, I received some suggestions. For example, this game cannot be defined as a game, but should be defined as software. In this regard, I accept it with humility. It is expected that the production plan for the next game will be released later this year. This will be a financial simulation game and will be a real game. Informally named [about how I earned a suite from Tianwang Tianying Financial Platform in four months]. The game content will be very interesting. Please look forward to it. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- In addition, given that the current version (0.135.0) of the cyan_potion game engine has completed the third round of code refactoring and seems to be available (although the major version number is still 0, meaning it is possible to make changes that are not backward compatible at any time) I decided to open source and freely provide all the modules of the cyan_potion game engine so far (following the MIT protocol). Anyone who needs it can go to https://github.com/cyanpotion/cyan_potion to download and use it according to the agreement. Note that this code only contains the source code of the cyan_potion engine itself, not the source code of the game gamepad massage. Obviously, this is due to the consideration of the player's interests. If the source code of the gamepad massage is released at this time (only four months after the release), then all purchased players suffer a loss. We are considering opening the source code for gamepad massage later (perhaps 5 years later). Anyway, I welcome and hope that you can download and use the cyan_potion game engine to make your own games (or other software). I also hope that you can contribute your codes/issues to the cyan_potion game engine. thank you very much. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- In addition, given that the third major code refactoring has been completed today, we will open a 14-day discount event. From May 18th to June 1st, gamepad massage will receive a -42% discount. (42 is really a convenient number... in any sense) Finally, I wish you a happy holiday. -----XenoAmess
