Dungeon Golf is OUT NOW in Early Access! Grab your putter and LETS GO!

Were really excited (and a little bit tired) to announce that our new game, Dungeon Golf has launched!! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2144040/Dungeon_Golf/ Its been a crazy ride from an idea while playing minigolf with my family, to Valve featuring us during Next Fest and being part of Awesome Indies at Gamescom. Its a special kind of thrill as a developer to see people playing and enjoying your game. [previewyoutube=DYpPSxGylDc;full][/previewyoutube] Yesterday we revealed our early access Roadmap so you know whats coming next! SPOILERS: Its more Dungeon and more Golf! https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2144040/view/3726221441159332111 If you encounter any bugs or have suggestions for how to improve Dungeon Golf during Early Access, were all ears! Best place to share that is right here in the in-game bug reporting tool. You can read more about that here in the Steam discussion forum. If youre searching for some online golfing buddies, head on over to the AntWorkshop Discord! Its time to smash your friends off the course, set those Golf Quest PBs and see what the dungeons have in store for youI cant guarantee they will be kind! So select your favorite character out of a host of whacky putting prodigies and well see you in the Dungeon! Tony and the Ant Workshop team

Linux and Stuff

Hi there! We've had a nagging feeling for a while that there was something we forgot to do, and this morning we realised what it was - we'd never officially announced that Binaries is available for Linux! Thanks to the keen fans in this discussion we got a Linux build working a while back, and quietly made it available. Since nobody shouted about any major problems that they couldn't work around, we thought we should make it kind of official. Now, if you read that discussion you'll see that we're a tiny dev and that our knowledge of Linux is very limited, so we've not had a lot of different configurations to test on, and even if we did come across issues we wouldn't really know the workarounds you might need to use.

And while we're announcing stuff...


We thought it might be worth mentioning that Binaries is now also available on your PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, in case you prefer playing this kind of game on a console (I don't know why you would, since the Steam version supports console controllers, but hey we're all friends here).

Reviews


As always, if you enjoy Binaries we'd really love it if you left a Steam review - they're massively helpful for tiny developers like us. Cheers! Tony (An Ant man. No, not that one.)

Update v1.1, and 101010 fails

Hey Binaries-fans, how have you been. Good? Yes, us as well. Have you been keeping an eye on the in-game "total deaths for all players" statistic recently? If you had you might have noticed that poor Blue and Orange have reached a spiky end [strike]42[/strike] 101,010 times. "But who's died the most," you're probably wondering right now, "and which levels are the biggest killers of delightfully abstract coloured balls." Well, we're glad you asked (but we're not going to answer the other, much more personal, question you're thinking - you big flirt) because we knocked up this little infographic to answer exactly those questions. What a coincidence!
Anyway, we thought that all of this was pretty cool and exciting, and so we rolled out the update wagon with a few bits and bobs we've been tinkering with (and also because it meant we could get the version number to be nice and binary again because that sort of thing is important to us). As well as some potential bug fixes for small issues some of you have let us know about, we've also added bonus "visual styles". You can select any of these from the main menu whenever you want (they're a little gift, so we're not going to be mean and make you work for them). The styles are...

Grey


We know, we know, Binaries is a little bit too easy right now, right? You want more of a challenge? Well that's cool - this is basically "hard mode". We hope you've memorised the levels!

Inverted


What if Blue was Orange and Orange was Blue and light was dark and dark was light? We really love how this one transforms some of the levels, it brings an entirely new perspective on things.

Chromatic


We've been playing a lot of AAA games recently (we call it "research" but who are we kidding?) and looking enviously at their chromatic aberration effects. Why are AAA games so fascinated with this effect? We don't know. But we do know that we wanted it, so that we would be a little bit more AAA as well. (To be honest we might have gone slightly over board with it, but that probably just makes us AAAA, right? Right.)

Pixel


Last, but by no means least, we've made the game all pixelly. After that level that makes a joke about it being a none-pixelly indie game. We know, we're sort of ashamed at ourselves. But we like how it looks so it's there now and literally nothing can ever be done about that.
We hope you enjoy playing with the new effects, and keep adding to that deaths stat, and really we just want to say thanks again to all of you for keeping playing, it's like a great big hug that keeps us warm at night. Cheers, Tony (one of the Ant men)

Update v1.0.2

Hey chums, it's new update time, so say hi to version 1.0.2 and the much-requested feature of level preview images! (And yes, we've ruined the nice binary version numbering. We are pretty sad about that but it was worth it for this handy feature.) In the map if you select a level you've already completed you can see its layout underneath your current rank and time record. This should make it much easier for you to find favourite levels to replay. Also I noticed today that you terrible lot have collectively killed Blue and Orange over 80,000 times since the game was released last month. You really really should try to take better care of them, you know. As I mentioned last time, there's a community discussion thread for you to see what features we're thinking of adding, so please let us know which you'd prefer us to work on next and also suggest things you'd like to see. (And thank you so much to everyone who's left a Steam review, we love reading every single one, and it's a huge help to relatively small and unknown indie games that people who stumble across it see that you're all enjoying it.) Cheers, Tony (King of ants)

Update v1.0.1 released!

Hi there! Today we've released our first update for Binaries, v1.0.1. As the version number suggests, this is just a small bunch of quick fixes and changes, bigger updates will come later (also we really couldn't pass up the opportunity to use a nice binary number like 101). So what's in this update?

  • Jump is now also bound on up buttons & keys.
  • Instant restart - you can press the restart button during play, rather than having to pause the game first.
  • Restart is now mapped to the Y / Triangle face button on joypads, so that it's as far from the jump button as it can be to avoid accidental presses.
  • There's an in-level death counter. This has been asked for a lot by streaming audiences, and who are we to deny them their fun? Whenever you die the level name in the top right will be replaced by a death counter for a short while. This number's also shown on the pause and level complete screens.
  • A bunch of little bug fixes.
Thanks for your fantastic support and feedback on Binaries, it's been really great to watch you play, read your comments, and see your reviews. Ant Workshop is a tiny developer and it's you lovely people who keep us going. If you have any features you'd like to see in future updates be sure to let us know in the Steam community discussion. Cheers, Tony (the main Ant)

  • Test your reflexes and awareness as you simultaneously guide two lovable(1) balls through 101 brightly coloured challenges in the world's first(2) concentration platform game. Control both at the same time using the same set of controls - when one moves left so does the other - and watch out for hazards colour matching the little tykes.

    Oh, and there are jokes.(3)

    (1) May not be lovable
    (2) May not be first
    (3) May not be funny

    Features

    • Concentrate your way through 101 levels of fiendish puzzle-solving, death-defying and controller-throwing.
    • Choose your own route through the game's non-linear map. Have you got stuck? No worries! Just go and play a different level.
    • Love an extra-hard challenge? Replay levels against the clock to get the fastest time you can. Are you quick enough to get S rank on every level? (I'm not.)
    • A really funky adaptive music score that gets excited when you do well and chills out if you’re stuck, to help you concentrate.
    • Laugh along with up to ten jokes! Look, I'm going to keep saying that it's funny. You'll come around eventually.
