Leaderboards got a big update! They are now delineated by player count, not by difficulty setting. So, there's a leaderboard for Distance - 1 Player, Distance - 2 Players, Distance - 3 Players, etc etc up till 8 Players. Here's an example of the Distance - 1 Player Leaderboard:
Next up, the Results screen got a little update too:
A couple bug fixes were put in too that were found during Emerald City Comicon last December. Fun!
Go get those LONGEST RUNS on that DISTANCE board!!!

Little updates in this latest version 2.0.1: Now the player score background box is highlighted in their color in Collect Mode. You can easily see at-a-glance who to keep away from Photons in that high stakes match!
Speaking of at-a-glance updates, your name is now highlighted in yellow on the Leaderboards for an easier find!
Bug fix: When a Tie Breaker would occur in Round Mode, the level would continue to make that pattern and there was a bug that no pattern would follow it. So it filled the Title screen with blocks and dumped a a bunch of errors until a different pattern was loaded. That is now fixed up, as you can see here by a level building itself post-Tie Breaker ending:
Be sure to update right away to get the latest and greatest!

Version 2.0.0 of CD-RUN is now available! Here's what is new: Support added for 11 more languages. CD-RUN can be played in: English, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Spanish, Hungarian, Ukrainian, Chinese (Simplified) and Korean!
Added a new game mode: Collect. Little photons of light are floating around the CD player in this mode and your goal is to collect 100 of them before your opponents! The matches keep playing until 100 photons are collected.

You'll see Collect Mode as an option on the Game Mode screen. View Achievements has been moved out of Options and is now on the Game Mode screen, next to View Leaderboards.
Level generator touch up. The big Bluff patterns occur less and other tweaks have been made to make the level more fair over time. Added Analytics on Steam, non-personal.

Work is progressing nicely on the project! I was a bit overwhelmed with the idea of having CD-RUN localized but after looking into it, found out it wasn't so bad after all. It's quite a "small" game in terms of words and strings. There'll be support for 12 languages over all, nicely summed up in the name acronym: PREFIG J SHUCK: Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian, English, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Spanish, Hungarian, Ukrainian, Chinese (Simplified), and Korean. Here's a few screen shots of the title screen:



Hope that all reads correctly. I don't think the company who translated it played a joke on me ;)

Added Elecom and Unknown Controller support.

Update Notes: Keyboard player support on Steam. Keyboard key maps for the player are available to change in the Options menu. Updated CPU players some more (tweaks to personalities and having them more "aware" of the match situation). Fixed bug where in Distance mode the camera speed could increase to faster than a player can run and they weren't able to keep up. Fixed workaround bug for adding CPU players. Now it's squeaky clean.

Coming soon to CD-RUN: keyboard support!
One player will be able to use the keyboard while other players can use controllers. I've got some good feedback from folks who've been using it. Hopefully It'll be released next week.

Fixed up a bug in Distance mode where the camera would get faster than the max speed of the players.

When you're on the Join screen, simply hit the Y button to enable teams. They'll be based on color of the players so you can easily stick together in a match. Team sizes can be any amounts from 1 to 7 players per team. As you can see below there's 4 teams: Red vs Green vs Blue vs Teal.
In a match things will start out pretty easy going:
Then, inevitably get pretty intense:
And the match is over when you've got all players of the same team left on the screen:
They'll get there:
Here's some footage of Team Mode in action: [previewyoutube=Vrfq9asBniw;full][/previewyoutube] So give Team Mode a go and share your experiences! CD-RUN is best enjoyed with friends and yelling and screaming :)

From March 25th - 29th, CD-RUN is 80% off! Grab CD-RUN now to play with your pals at home AND online using Remote Play Together: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1051920/CDRUN/

CD-RUN Release version: 1.9.0

• Team Mode has been added for Round and Score type games!
  • When team mode is enabled, when you press "Random" for player facial features, it will keep the same color of the team you are on.
  • CPU teams will be added in size by the largest amount of players on a team. So if there are two people on the Blue team and they add CPU players, it will add two CPU players with a random team color. If three players, then three CPU players.
  • Some level patterns are shorter in height when team mode is enabled to encourage teamwork and not totally wrecking everyone else quickly in a match.
• The Distance game type has had an overhaul. It is now a cooperative mode where all the runners are on the same side and attempt to get the longest run where the score is sent to a leaderboard, delineated by game difficulty: easy, normal, or hard.
  • When a player is out of the match, they will enter a queue and rejoin the match after a few seconds.
  • When a run in Distance is completed, the score will be uploaded as your personal best to the leaderboards on the platform you play. The player who is signed in at the time is the one who receives the credit for the run.
• Unique CPU Color flag: when you add CPU players, you have the option to try to make their color different than the existing human players colors.
• A new race song has been added. Six race songs in total now!
• The CD logo on the title screen can be spun for fun.
• Both the L and R buttons allow the user to run now too.
• The level used to have six block type graphics on it, now there are 8. One of them was removed and replaced too as it looked odd when traveling at high speed in a level.
• Xbox button iconography on the Xbox platform!
• Gradual difficulty is now present in the generated level. There are some circumstances that allow you to easily kill all your opponents which have been toned down until the distance traveled is 100 or more. Which is when the pits start. Enjoy!
• Bug Fixes:
  • When the level would move at high speeds and a "Next Track" behavior occurred, it would skip placing the level column correctly and make it look like the level was "catching up with itself". This has been fixed as the level movement has been optimized.
  • You could earn a lot of achievements by simply having the CPU players play. This has been fixed to where only one achievement can be unlocked based on CPU play, the rest must have a player playing in a match now.
  • The CPU players have been fine tuned a little bit more.
• Overall game speed has upped.

From Stikz: There's so much more to this game. It's simple tactics but you can really mess people up! Also Stikz laughs on end for like 2 minutes after a victory. And a Scratched Disc finally occurs and well, 23rd Stallion doesn't enjoy it! [previewyoutube=GCZB-h-75gc;full][/previewyoutube] Enjoy the cackles of delight! Subscribe to Level 857 too!

There's immediate teamwork against Stikz, panic when the gravity flips, and of course that grimey gameplay! How many times is "get out of here!" said? [previewyoutube=DivYeLJ_MHk;full][/previewyoutube] Enjoy the cackles of delight! Subscribe to Level 857 too, they're great!

Stikz defends his belt in the 2nd entry of the Let's Play VS session by Level 857 with CD-RUN. As Stikz says: Your platforming skills have to be ON! [previewyoutube=2gf6A6QYcyc;full][/previewyoutube] Enjoy the cackles of delight! Subscribe to Level 857 too, they're great!

[previewyoutube=UmqlT9XbDog;full][/previewyoutube] It's really great to see these guys having a fun time playing CD-RUN! It warms my heart to see them mess with each other. Stikz "gets" it really quickly! "He's figured out the sleezy-ness!" Mwa ha ha ha... Enjoy the show! Subscribe to Level 857 too, they're great!

CD-RUN came out in October 2019. Since then there's been a lot of updates with new content, features and bug fixes! Since releasing CD-RUN, here's a list of changes and additions:

New faces

New Level Pattern

Scratched Disc!

Added a Discord Server

LASER

Color Blind Mode

Updated the Windows builds to use DirectInput

UI Menu Updates

Small but thorough update for CD-RUN: The Menu Update! Previously, on all the menus, there was a Back button on the bottom of the selection. Now, there's just the Back button you can press at any time: On the Options screen:
Achievements screen:
The Hub:
And the Join screen:
Why do this? Well, it will be helpful to have a dedicated Back button to press rather than a menu Back button to have to navigate to when there is a long list of things to choose from. But Mike, you ask, There aren't any menus with long lists of things to choose from, are there? I laugh with internal company-man knowledge that soon there might be another option on the bottom of the Join screen Back footer. Mwa ha ha ha ha! Woah...got kinda evil bad guy there for a moment! More to come soon!

Turns out I didn't fully realize or understand the hard limit of 4 XInput compatible controllers in Windows boxes. I thought if you plugged them in it wouldn't be a limit, but no way. I also wished I had borrowed enough Xbox & PS4 controllers when testing it.
After some invaluable feedback from a player I took out XInput and utilize DirectInput now. So, now I have tested with the lot of them and the fix is up now to download: version 1.8.1. Please update and have fun!

CD-RUN has been updated: The Color Blind Mode Update (v1.8.0) is now live for Windows and Linux. Grab it or wish list it now!

Update notes:

• new Color Blind Mode

Color Blind Mode

CD-RUN has been updated: The Laser Update (v1.7.0) is now live for Windows and Linux. Grab it or wish list it now to have at your next get together. It's a great party game!

Update notes:

• new Laser in the level
• bug fixes

New Laser

Bug fixes

• "The Level Stays Flat" bug: Turns out this would occur in the case when the Repeat behavior was active and a match ends. In the Repeat class it tells the Pattern Manager to keep making the same thing for X amount of seconds. If the match ends, the behavior never gets to reach X seconds and the Pattern Manager would keep making the same pattern. When a new match starts, its default pattern to make is the flat one, so it just kept doing that forever. Or at least until the Repeat function gets called in the match (which might not happen at all).
• Also, the Achievements in Steam were a little messed up there for a bit. Turns out the SteamWorks library I was using didn't cooperate with IL2CPP that well. Someone had forked it for a fix that patched it up, so that was great to be able to pop in the code and have it magically start working again. Let me know if you have any troubles with Achievements!

Better shows off the game play, player customizing, and the level messing with players. And more action. And platforming. And more fun! [previewyoutube=MgXMFx-b99o;full][/previewyoutube]

Looks like he took his existing set up and added a PC in there to run Steam. Only had to map a few buttons via Steam to get it to work! Though he wasn't able to get a Start button to work, so he had to periodically go back to the compy and hit a key.
Otherwise, he and his son had a good time playing it! After his boy figured out that ANY part of the screen is bad, they were off and running! Yay father and son time!
