The Great Uncensoring

Today marks the last major update for 'I Can't Believe It's Not Gambling.' Hard to believe it's been just over two years.

[h2]Back to Basics[/h2]
This update is a simple one. We are resetting 'I Can't Believe It's Not Gambling' to its default state. The [Censored] update and many of the other "event" visuals will be turned off. We hope they gave you a laugh or two over the years.

This will ensure that any new players going forward get the purest form of not-gambling.

[h2]Onto the Next One![/h2]
'I Can't Believe It's Not Gambling' has been as successful and fun to develop as we could have possibly hoped and we are very, very thankful to you all for being in on the jokes and supporting the game. <3

We've moved all of our attention to it's sequel, ICBING2(K), and our next major title: KAIJU FISHING. It's a fishing adventure about fishing for giant monsters (imagine hooking Godzilla). It's been an exciting project to work on so far so if it sounds fun to you (and c'mon, it should!) then you can follow us on Twitter (@mutantstudios) for updates about that!

Again, we really are thankful for all of your support and hopefully we can make some other games that excite you too!

I Can't Believe It's Not *Censored* update!



Hello Not Gambling Community . . .

I want to take a few minutes to talk to all of you about the Sequel Announcement this past weekend. On Monday, we made the decision to take action against a player named 2(K) after the publisher shared their views on whats happening in Las Vegas and applied it to a game for children. We did this by announcing:

I CANT BELIEVE ITS NOT GAMBLING 2(K)


At Mutant, our vision is to bring the world together through epoch entertainment. And we have core values that apply here: Think Globally; Lead Responsibly; and importantly, Every Voice Matters, encouraging everybody to share their point of view. The actions that we took over the weekend are causing people to question if we are still committed to these values. We absolutely are and I will explain.

The ICBING2(K) store page is already up on Steam so you can WISHLIST IT today! It will release along with all of our morals next month!

Our not gambling programs are an expression of our vision and our values. Not gambling exists to create opportunities for players from around the world, from different cultures, and from different backgrounds, to come together to compete and share their passion for not gambling. It is extremely important to us to protect these channels and the purpose they serve: to bring the world together through epoch entertainment, celebrate our payers players, and build diverse and inclusive cash flows communities.

As to how those values apply in this case:
First, our official not gambling game was used as a platform for players to gamble.
We interview not gamblers who are at the top of their craft to share how they feel. We want to experience that moment with them. Hearing their excitement is a powerful way to bring us together.

Every not gambler matters, and we strongly encourage everyone in our community to not gamble in many places to express themselves. However, the official not gambling needs to be about the not gambling and to be a place where all are welcome. In support of that, we want to keep the official channels focused on the not gambling..

OK, what could Mutant have done better, and where do we go from here?

More not gambling? Yes, probably. Thats why were introducing a sequel, so people have more places to not gamble the way they want!

Moving forward, we will continue to ensure more not gambling to ensure our official game franchises remain focused on the not gambling and are not the basketball game.

Sincerely,
Mutant Entertainment Studios and not at all any government entities

The game industry hasnt stopped, so neither will we. From the creators of I Cant Believe Its Not Gambling comes the sequel: I Cant Believe Its Not Gambling 2(K).

I Cant Believe Its Not Gambling 2(K) is the next chapter of (totally not) gambling in video games! This time, youll be spinning slots to win new skins for your slot machines. Weve included some other small features to explore too, like a new Basketball mini-game, the ability to enter fake Credit Card pins for in-game money (and secrets!), and a brand new Prestige ladder where youll earn Titles and skins.

Honestly, who has time to mess around with playing a full match of a simulated sport with ok animations, weird bugs, and frustrating online play? All just to get back to the real action - spinning the slot machine for sweet, sweet digital rewards! All anyone really wants is to have their brain fire off those sparks of excitement, that feeling of winning.

The store page has just gone live, WISHLIST NOW to be ready for it!



This is a topic that we feel is important to discuss, so we want to use this project as a platform to talk about gambling in video games. To keep the conversation alive, we need to get this game into the right hands. We encourage you to share this game with your friends, family, and your favorite content creators!

As a side note: We will have more news about our other project, KAIJU FISHING, in the coming weeks as well, so make sure you follow us @MutantStudios to stay up to date!

As always, we appreciate all the support,
The Mutant Studios Team

We don't call them loot boxes.

We look at it as surprise mechanics.

People enjoy surprises its been a part of toys for years. We do think the way weve implemented these kinds of mechanics is quite ethical and quite fun. They arent gambling and we disagree that theres evidence that shows they lead to gambling.

I think its important to look at this. If you go to a store that sells lots of toys, and you do a search for surprise toys, what youll find is that this is something people enjoy. They enjoy surprises. And so, its something thats been part of toys for years, whether its Kinder Eggs, or Hatchimals, or LOL Surprise. We do think the way that we have implemented these kinds of mechanics in I Can't Believe It's Not Gambling [which] of course is our big one is actually quite ethical and quite fun and enjoyable to people.

We have no qualms that theyre implemented in an unethical way.

If youre asking me if we have a duty of care under law, I can say theres not a law yet...

- Luv, tEAm Mutant

Its a new era for Mutant, so we thought wed kick off this epoch with some epic news. Were pleased to announce that some of your hard-earned loot box rewards are now going to be Epoch Games Store Exclusives and unavailable for resale or collecting.


We understand that many of you will be upset about these developments, but just know that these decisions are primarily made by our publisher: us. If you have questions or concerns, follow us on Twitter @MutantStudios and direct all questions to us there. :)

This exciting and not at all controversial update is accompanied by a new form of Loot Boxes, which can be found exclusively on the Mutant Discord, here: https://discord.gg/ayJnU2X

In this patch:

- Christmas Achievements fixed - fixed the bug that was intermittently causing payers players to not receive the Christmas achievements that they had earned. In order to retroactively get the achievements you need to click on the Collections button IN EACH LOOT TIER. So if you earned the Ship Christmas achievement, but it did not trigger, you just need to open the Collections tab while on the Ship tier.

- Fixed some lighting issues - Some users have reported odd lighting effects (massive amounts of bloom/emissives) which made the game perform poorly. Somewhere along the line in our production process our baked lighting was overwritten with dynamic lighting. We've removed the dynamic lighting and optimized a few items. Most of you on High GFX settings will see a performance increase.

- End of the <3 Event - Lunar and Valentines Day skins will remain in game, but the particle effect and room decor are back to normal.

- Note on future updates - As a studio we've shifted focus over to our next project: Astro Joust We will continue to support ICBING with any and all necessary patches/bug fixes, but our primary focus moving forward will be on AJ.

As always thank you for playing!

Fixed the "Collect All" Achievement Bug

New Valentines Day and Lunar New Year skins are here!!!

We are also working an another small surprise for you guys but it's still a bit rough around the edges. That was okay for Snek as the joke was that as a "AAA developer" we put little effort into the actual game, but polished the heck out of the lootbox system. We don't want you guys getting the impression that we do low effort games (on purpose), so we're holding onto NotNFS for a bit until we're happy with it.

Our first Steam title - Questr also got an update patch, though much larger. Anyone interested can check that out here

We're also making good progress on our next title Astro Joust

And finally we're sad to say goodbye to our lead programmer Steven (you guys know him as @Dayum Gurl) as he moves on to a larger paycheck real life lootbox.

As always, thanks for playing!

Jeff and the Mutant Studios team

Fixed a bug with potato quality that made discs not get colored properly

Enjoy the game everybody! We have more coming soon!

The MES team

Hey All!

Today we have a new patch with some small updates and bug fixes
-Holiday music, theme, and whale are now gone (but holiday loot is still available)
-Sell All Button now gives "Sell 1 __" achieves
-Collection Window is now color coordinated, showing you the rarity of your loot and the rarity of the loot that you are missing
-The Mutant Avatar by your loot box counter is now your Steam Icon
-Overflow on the text for when players reach over 100k lootboxes has been fixed

We have also had several community members ask what is coming next from the studio. While we have kicked around ideas for a spin off game, for now we are focusing on an entirely new title! We'll have an official announcement out soon™. Thanks for the continuous support!

Steven

Hey All,

We're shooting for a Friday (1/5/17) patch which we hope will include the following:

- Holiday Theme turned off (Holiday items will still be available for achievement hunters)
- Steam Avatars will replace the default Mutant Avatar
- Sell All button will count towards Achievements
- Loot count box will not overflow at 100,000

In addition we're looking at 2 known bugs

- CPU/GUP memory leak
- Max Cash/Leadboard inconsistency
No promises on a solution to these two, but we're definitely taking a look.

Finally we keep getting requests for Trading Cards. If you have strong feelings about Trading Cards let us know here. Our current thinking is that they kind of undercut the main point of the game. However if enough of you are in favor we can take a closer look at making them available.

That's all for now. Now get back to unboxing!

The MES team

We've seen a lot of community discussion around opening Loot Boxes in 'I Can't Believe It's Not Gambling.' After reviewing our data, we agree that there are improvements to be made. Today, we'd like to announce the next big feature and talk about what you can expect going forward when it comes to opening more loot boxes.

Currently, you are forced to dispose or collect each individual item in the game one at a time - a repeated activity that has become something of an addiction for many of you.

Effective immediately, we are activating a new system.

As a direct result of your feedback, you will see a new option available for free when you open your next Loot Box: "Sell All." This button will be something that we continue to monitor and review to ensure that this change meets our expectations and yours. Additionally we are introducing a "Prestige" option that will allow you to start fresh, available after you collect every item in the game. With this feature we are also introducing a new Leaderboard which will track how many times you have collected every item in the game. This should provide an avenue for hardcore players to pursue new End-Game scores and open up opportunity for collection Speed Runs.

Our team here at Mutant Entertainment is dedicated to your experience and will continue to listen and make updates to feed your insatiable not gambling habits. Any additional updates to this system, as well as other news about our studio's upcoming projects, will be communicated to you via our official channels which will be linking in the settings menu. Thank you for continued passion - we will aim to match that support stride for stride with transparency and generosity.


-Bungie Mutant Entertainment Studios


Patch notes:
- Sell All button!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (our plan to sell you all carpal tunnel surgery has been foiled)
- Event will not be ending
- Event item drop rate is increased
- Sorry about that Achievement Hunters - our bad
- Prestige system
- Prestige Leaderboard
- Credits page (in Settings)
- MES newsletter signup link (in Settings)

Thanks!
First off, thank you all for your support. As a small indie studio we really appreciate all the enthusiasm this community has generated.

Lootmass!
We're excited to announce the Limited time Lootmass event starts now! Loot includes holiday themed skins and hats. This ultra rare loot is only available in this limited time event. So start unboxing now!

What's Next?
Several ICBINGERS have asked us about what's next for Mutant. We're still figuring that out (Sell all - when???). We'll update everyone in the next week or so once we decide.

Linux
Finally we're happy to announce a Linux version is also going live with today's patch.

Thanks again everyone!

The last update has a temp fix for max money, instead of going to negative money you get stuck at max money instead. We have some cooler options in the works!
(if you have negative money, play a round of snake and it will fix itself!)

Fixed all of the "collect all __" achievements, you don't want to see the joke that was that code
-Fixed the "Sell 1 trash" achievement

Bug fixes on lots of stuff
-Fixed all the achievement issues
-Added stat tracking (top right of your screen) for loot boxes opened
-Reworked a bunch of NotBFII levels to be better
-Some NotBFII mechanics are just better
-Added Vsync Toggle
-Added target fps buttons

edit: did hella compression, build size is down by 400MB

Fixed a bug that allowed players to cheese their way into a high tier of snake by pressing the NotBFII button quickly after switching tiers
-Fixed a display bug on large numbers throughout
-Fixed a bug that allowed players to totally break NotBFII by spamming spacebar or enter after entering the game

Achievement bugs fixes are on the way with a few new achievements coming with them! Thanks for playing everybody!

Edit: Made leaderboards visible, see who the biggest ballers are!

The currently known bugs list:

• portal directions not showing up right
  
• portals can accidentally take you out straight into a wall
  
• whale can collide with tail while going straight by it (not from turning)
  
• pride and accomplishment letters dont spwawn correctly
  
• letters also dont despawn when whale dies, neither do the crates they spawn
  
• if you close the game without collecting or selling loot you lose the money spent on the crate and any money or loot you would have collected.
  
• If you die quickly after grabbing a lootbox in notBF2 you gain no gold for the lootbox.
  
• 4 digits do not display correctly in notBF2 score
  
• Portals have non uniform colliders, causing some inconsistent interactions.
  
• level number isn't displaying boxes opened.
  
• Settings Menu not centered
  
• Portals in Animu level of not BF2 are completely broken.
  
• Epics and Legendarys in Animoo display only 4 digits instead of their real value (in this case 1000k and 2000k)
  
• need to ensure lootboxes dont spawn in specific areas.
  

It's almost time...

Prepare your wallets self...

Monday December 11th at 7:00 am PST

The greatest game in the history of lame lootbox only games is unleashed upon the world...

Look on our works, ye Mighty, and despair!

It's almost time...


Get your wallets ready...


I Can't Believe It's Not Gambling unboxes Monday December 11th!


Now featuring a tiny bit of lame gameplay with "Not BFII"


Because all we really want you to focus on are those sweet sweet lootboxes

We here at Mutant Studios feel like this whole loot box craze hasn't gone far enough... To remedy this, we present: I Can't Believe It's Not Gambling!

The entire game is just opening Loot Boxes! Why? To unlock better loot boxes of course! Loot boxes are a great way to show progression, but why waste all that time playing the actual game? We've cut out the middle man so you have more time to open boxes!

Open boxes, unlock new skins and hats for your Lootbox Loadout, then open some more boxes! Earn better boxes by selling what you don't want and spending more fake currency! This game is sure to hit that addicting itch that'll have you saying:

"I Can't Believe It's Not Gambling!"

*Note: This game is purely for parody. There are no actual microtransactions within the game, only genuine progression. Side effects of 'I Can't Believe It's Not Gambling' include mild amusement, breathing slightly more air out of your nose, chuckling under your breath, nodding with that sort of half smile when you don't want to laugh at a joke but recognize it was a pretty decent joke and need to acknowledge it, minor shame, and reduced money. If you experience any of these things for more than 4 hours, consider calling your doctor immediately, or play any real game...*
