HAPPY SNAKE

Hi friends! Some friends and fixes for you today!

The main thing is I have tried (again) to perminently fix the "all achievements bug" that some people have messaged me about.

Firstly, sorry about this! Secondly, if you have had this issue but have all the other achievements, you can now go to the main CAFE and press the 'O' key on your keyboard. This will run the check manually and award you the achievement if you got all the rest before.
If this doesn't work, or you have any problems with this or other stuff please do message me!
When going through the issues I decided to reduce the timers for achievements, as I think sometimes people had quit to menu before they have triggered in the past (the "all achievements" used to take 4 seconds to allow the other achievement time on screen). Hope this new way works nicely!

I also added some random friends around the place, so have a look out when you are next playing :)

Lots of love and I hope you are having a great day.
HAPPY SNAKE

Yo! How's it going everyone? Hope you are doing well!!!

Got a nice little update for ya today:

- Improved the performance in KOUEN to try and curb the frame drops that I was told about. I've made lots of changes but most notably reduced the camera draw range slightly (can't notice for 99% of the locations) and finally changed the train tracks to being sprites instead of objects!! :D

- Added a little platform at the top of the snake hill with some cool new friends

- Some other little fixes like finally changing the sky colour to be correct when you are arriving into KOUEN by train :)


I'm still working on tons of stuff but moving like a slow worm at the moment! You know how it is :)

Take care and keep safe!

QT is 1 year old today! OMG!

So many cool things happened with QT this year and I just want to say such a big thank you to everyone that played and hung out and just generally made the community awesome! People found the last big secrets and speedran the game and made videos of all the updates and stuff so thank you so much!!!

And I am very excited to say that QT now has Steam community items!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can get the trading cards from playing the game etc. and I hope people enjoy the backgrounds and badges and stuff! It's so cool and crazy these exist now! It was real hard to choose which friends to draw on the cards so I hope y'all like the ones that are up :D

A million new things from Happy Snake Games coming in 2021! Thank you so damn much for playing QT and all my other games! You're all the best!!!
- Happy Snake

Wow!!! That was so fun! I can't believe we did a Halloween Event!

Thank you so much to everyone for being involved and finding the Halloween friends! You are all the best!!!

Hi everyone! Happy Friday!
Here's some changes and fixes to QT :)

Firstly, some achievement changes that I've talked about for a while:

• "have fun with the dear" has now been updated to be easier and simpler to get!!! I've had a couple requests to do this due to how hard and confusing it is to get. It's still somewhat mysterious, but much easier to stumble on now :)
  
• "dont.look.behind.you" has now been changed to "". This is to avoid the common confusion of thinking it was to do with the note at the start of QT that reads "look behind you". (Sorry about all the time I wasted with this oversight haha :p)
  
• "???????" has now been changed to "7". Most people found it frustrating to figure out, and different region keyboards could have trouble getting it. I'm hoping now it's just funny instead of frustrating.
  

• Bigger collision boxes on the notes in QT (less precise aim needed to interact)
  
• The clue on the light has an added character drawn on it for better identification
  
• Ladybugs on the main door disappear now when it's opened :)
  
• Door blocking spider hit boxes made taller
  
• The "7" achievement friend now appears in a different spot as to not be blocked by the UI.
  

Hey everyone! Happy friday!

Just posting this quick update before the weekend, today we have:

• New cheeky secret room in MUSEUM
  
• Fixed scrolling heights + borders in the achievements and credits menus
  
• Moved a certain friend from an out of bounds area back into QT (will be returned when this area is accessible again)
  

• Fixed the problem where Mac shutdown QT on the main menu
  
• Fixed some other Mac problems (like the cursor randomly being massive)
  
• All achievements bug fixed
  
• Some minor performance tweaks
  

Hi friends!

Just a tiny update today that fixes that "get all achievements" achievement bug. I thought it was fixed before but hey :D

I recently updated Unity to 2019.4.2 from a much older version, so if you have any problems with QT at all please let me know (especially those on Linux and Mac as I can't test those first hand) :)

That's it for today, but I hope you have the best Tuesday ever!!!!!!

- Happy Snake Games

p.s shout out to everyone who bought QT off their friends wishlist during the summer sale... this is the cutest thing ever <3

As lots of you know, Update 1.98 and 1.99 have been preparing us for 2.0 so (apart from a couple of cool assets and fixes) so now 2.0 is here and THE QT PART OF QT HAS NEW GAMEPLAY AND ART!!! The game and art are now tons better! If you want to read more about the specific changes, check out the last two update posts.

HAPPY SNAKE

p.s Share your favourite QT stuff in the comments? :D

Version 1.99 is out!!!

Thanks so much to everyone for helping QT get to this point! Version 1.99 is here, and on Thursday will be 2.0 (which will just be little tweaks and updates from what we have today).

BIG CHANGES! The QT part's art has been completely redone and the there is a WHOLE NEW AREA replacing the area when you leave through the front door!!!!!!

I've wanted to update the art style for QT since release, as I thought it should feel closer to the other two games. After many months of work we are finally here and I'm really excited today and Thursday to share it with you all!

A quick rundown of the new changes:

• ALL NEW ART IN THE QT PART
  
• WHOLE NEW AREA (replacing the old part after you walk through the main door)
  
• LOTS OF NEW FRIENDS AND PROPS IN THE QT PART
  

• Main door stays open now if you have opened it (between saves too)
  
• Removed skipping the first level if you've done it before (on restart)
  
• The later section no longer removes the music or locks the door behind you!!!
  
• Updated the screenshots on itch and Steam
  
• Radio doesn't play if the door is open (you can still use it as you want)
  
• Moved some of the other characters and posters around
  
• Added a late Kickstarter backer character ;)
  
• New interact UI colours
  

Happy Monday everyone!

Today's update is just fixing a problem that has persisted in which you don't correctly get the 100% achievements achievement.

If you have encountered this problem and are still on the save where you got 100% and didn't get the achievement, I have created a quick way that you can get it without resetting your save file!

Steps to fixing a save where you should have received the 100% achievement:
1.) Go to MUSEUM
2.) Press Control-Shift-O and a menu appears. Click "achievement problem" and close the menu. This deletes the "fashion is not interactive" achievement.
3.) Go to settings and restart the current level (applies changes).
4.) Now walk up the stairs on the right and touch the frog fashion exhibit to get the achievement again and wait 10 seconds for the game to register the 100% achievement:D

That should fix it for everyone, but if it doesn't please please let me know and I will sort it out for you. (If these steps weren't clear too, please ask me questions).

Sorry this bug has been in here, it's such a demoralizing thing to happen to your save!

Hope everyone has a fantastic week,
HAPPY SNAKE :D

HEEEYOOOOOOO

I've made some massive changes to the QT part of QT which changes the experience and makes it much better!

• fixed the photo frames and some of the other issues they had

Another weird week but working on QT literally as much as I can!
Today is the basically part 2 of the QT overhaul, and I'm crazy excited to share it with you all! Much more coming soon.

Hey everyone! <3

Today is a small update that brings a nice new friend to the game! Green guy menu friend!

So I'm working on the next 3 or so updates at the moment, and I managed to separate this part of development to have an update with a couple of vital things today.

• re-wrote the buggy main menu + added a new green friend before choosing the games! (let me know if you like this or not)
  
• fixed scrolling in the achievements and credits is now good with the mouse wheel too.
  
• removed the papers from the main menu + added a bunch of tiny friends around your seated position.
  
• ??? in the main menu is now possibly by ??? instead of ???.
  
• ??? platforms now appear when you ???.
  

Hi everyone!

Thanks for being so patient with the OST release! Turns out it's way more work than I expected + Steam still needed to certify it etc.

But YAY it is out right now and it's FREEEEEE!!!!


I hope you love it and enjoy listening to the relaxing music amidst all this stressful covid stuff.
Keep safe everyone!

Love you all,
HAPPY SNAKE GAMES

p.s I also put the lyrics track from MUSEUM up on youtube as I think lots of people want to listen to that specifically :D (still working on the music video for this track too:))

[previewyoutube=rGfS7p9hmHk;full][/previewyoutube]

HEY!
I'm so happy to have this complete! 1.96 is here and live :D
Here's a tiny trailer I made - https://youtu.be/Tz2iRqS0STY

Main updates:
- GAMEPAD + Keymapping support!!!
- All new settings + menus, including advanced graphics options! + main menu game select
- New QT ending
- Improved performance (especially in MUSEUM and KOUEN)

small things
- A dozen QT things (see below)
- Improved localization (now needs restart if you switch languages)
- Easter eggs (qt and museum) ;)
- Improved the achievement popup UI

Gamepad support should work out the box (especially the analog sticks) but there's a chance you might want to remap some of the keys.
The keymapping screen is still a little basic and can be difficult to read, but I will make this better in a future update.
I think all the keyboard keys are the same, so it shouldn't change anything for people just playing on PC.

If you have ANY problems with input/performance/anything please message me anywhere (discord, twitter DM, email) as I really want to fix any issues i might not have caught when testing.


New QT ending
So, I've been planning this QT update since release, but it's hard to do as it can break a lot of other parts of the game... so when I broke everything adding the new input I thought I could add it as I have to test so much anyway! The important changes are in (yellow frog friend is slightly different now, and a tiny bit easier) plus I properly removed jumping and added something way cooler for the final friend ending.
I will be adding a little more to this ending, but the main important bits are there and I'm really really happy with how it turned out.

New other QT things! :D
- new photo fragment view thing
- photo fragments + picture are now in lovely colour
- main door part has some new assets
- goose painting cannot be accessed through the wall now ;)
- better looping camera animation (smoother)
- fixed some of the silly z-fighting on the walls
- redrew the potted plant! looking good now

Really happy with this update and have a dozen more things I want to add to it soon. Hope everyone is doing okay!

- Happy Snake xx

p.s OST coming soon!

[previewyoutube=qOX2Zs9orOY;leftthumb][/previewyoutube]

it's pretty easy to find if you watch the trailer you can work out exactly where it is :D

I'm still working on 2.0 and... I've also been working a bunch on a new short game which will be out this or next month I think :DDDD More on this soon :)

Anyway, I hope you love the weird update. next time you head into KOUEN don't forget to kiss them frogs ;)

HAPPY SNAKE

i'm really happy to be able to keep adding to the game and everything so i hope you enjoy on your next playthrough, or when you are achievement hunting!

- HAPPY SNAKE

hey!

got a lil update today while i keep working on update 2.0 :)

today we have:
- changed the closed door for the gift shop in MUSEUM
- added a couple little buddies to the outskirts of KOUEN


more coming soon!
- happy snake

Hello :)

Today is another little update to the game as I work for the bigger update 2.0. That being said, I have added a very important feature!

The QT part of the game now saves some of your progress, which means you don't have to do the same collecting each time you play (unless you want to).
To access this feature you do have to complete the game once more though, then on the bathroom door and near the main door there are paintings that let you open them as it knows you have completed it once :D

I'm hoping this is a great addition to the game and means people have more fun and less wasted time. If you still have achievements to collect, you can still easily travel the rest of the corridor loops like normal :)

The second additions to 1.92 are the pond in the deer area of KOUEN. I have now added cute fish and some pond plants, as I felt this area needed some additional beauty!

Thanks to everyone that has been playing QT! The reviews are very lovely and kind so thank you!

- Happy Snake

Hey!

Update 2.0 has become it's whole own little game and I want some more time to make it really good + test it, so I'm going to keep releasing little updates while I work on that.

Today I have the BEACH update for you! The beach area in KOUEN felt lacking so I added a bunch of new friends to meet!

I actually have a list going of things i want to add now so I'm going to be working at that too :D

Hope you enjoy the beach friends :) next update will be tomorrow or Saturday :)

- Happy Snake

hey!

1.) a nice yellow cursor
2.) invert y-axis setting (click reset to apply the change)
3.) another small secret wall exhibit added to MUSEUM
