MAIN UPDATES

Steam Workshop is now available in DEPO! Create your own levels and upload them for other players to enjoy. You can also download levels from other players. It's time to get creative! There are 6 different buttons to filter levels: most downloaded, most voted, newest, random levels, friends levels, and my downloads. Once a level has been uploaded to Steam Workshop, it can be updated if the same player uploads a level with the same name. This will replace the previous version, and an indicator with the update date will appear in the level list. It is now possible to create levels with 0 jumps. Additionally, new objects in the editor allow you to increase or decrease the number of jumps for players. A tagging system has been added to filter and find levels more easily. A voting system has been added to rate levels positively or negatively. The DEPO Maker section now leads directly to the Steam Workshop panel, where you can access the level editor.

I wanted it to be a surprise, but I can't share this without revealing it... The next update will include new achievements in the game! How many? Well, that will be a surprise. What I wanted to mention here is a new contest that starts today and runs for the next two weeks, where you can create the design for a specific achievement. And what is that achievement? Well... it's a very special one, which is why I want the community to design it. The achievement will be: Fan-tastic Art: Visit the art gallery. The best design will be included as the icon for this achievement both in the game and on Steam. And, of course, the rest of the participants' designs will be showcased in the art gallery. Get involved and participate by submitting your achievement design to the DEPO Discord fan art section! DEPO Discord: https://discord.com/invite/5H7uPAK

2 years ago I released DEPO on Steam, after more than 9 years of development. Today I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to the entire community for their support, dedication and love towards the game. It fills me with pride to have such a wonderful player base. The road has not been easy. I have dedicated thousands of hours to the development of the game, most of the time working alone. Despite the challenges, every moment has been worth it. I especially want to thank the friends who have helped me improve the game and have also dedicated their valuable time. Seeing so many people enjoy DEPO is a dream come true. After the summer, my presence will not be as constant as before, as I will need to focus on my work. There probably won't be as many or as big updates, but I will do my best to add some news from time to time. Even if I won't be able to be as active, I hope I can still get into the game and chat with you, and I hope you continue to enjoy the game and the online races coming next week! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a part of this amazing adventure. - Guiliam

The time has come! DEPO Online is already finished, this online mega-update will arrive (if there are no unforeseen events) before the end of this week. In order to test the server before the release we will do a stress test where we will need a lot of players to connect at the same time. Will we be able to burn the server? This last online meeting before the official release will take place on Thursday July 4th (this month) at 22:00 Spanish time. You can find out the time in your country by searching for it here: https://dayspedia.com/converter/?mc=1275&t=1720123204 All participants will receive 5000 Cokkoins as a gift when the online beta will be officially and publicly updated. TO ACCESS THE ONLINE BETA ENTER THIS CODE: D3P0TestPassword in DEPO Properties on Steam -> Betas. See you very soon, let's burn the server! PS: Many thanks to all those who have so far supported by buying a coffee DLC as the server cost is maintained thanks to the help received.

As some of you already know, DEPO will receive in the future a big update that will include the online system that will allow you to play with other players. Below, I'll tell you how the progress is going and what new things are coming....

New store - Cokko's store

In the Core Square there will be a new store, it will be located in the blue zone. In Cokko's store you will be able to buy clothes, gestures, emojis and trails for your character, you will also be able to change the color of your pixel as you wish. These items will be stored in your online inventory linked to your Steam account, which means that they do not depend on your local save game. You will be able to trade items with other players!

Appearance of chests full of coins

To earn these coins called Cokkoins it will be necessary to perform online activities. For example, playing with players on the same level for a certain period of time earns Cokkoins. In addition, if there are more than 3 players online in the same file, a chest will be activated. The first player to get the chest will get a lot of Cokkoins to spend in the Cokko store.

Hunt eggs hidden by other players

There will also be other activities such as egg hunting, where players will hide eggs around the level that other players will have to find in a certain amount of time. It is quite fun and challenging. If a player finds an egg they will receive Cokkoins, but if they don't find it, the player who hid the egg will receive Cokkoins.

Online panel and exchanges with other players

Finally, to access your items, see information about players in the current level or in the rest of the levels there is a special menu for online, where you can also see your character online. From this menu you will be able to see information about other players and offer them exchanges.
Currently the item system and egg hunting are already working properly in the early beta version uploaded on Steam for those who have purchased the coffee DLC. An update to this beta will be uploaded in the coming days which will include the new online panel, the trading system and the appearance of chests. If you have purchased the Coffee DLC and still don't have access to the beta please contact Guiliam on the Discord server to get an access key. Thank you for the support! .

[ 2024-05-17 16:32:00 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hello everyone! In the last weeks we are working on the implementation of an online system in the game. This system will allow all DEPO players to see each other and interact, at any level.
A big thank you to those players who have purchased the coffee DLCs to support the development of the game. These will be used to pay for the online servers. If you wish to participate in the beta of the online system and you have purchased a coffee DLC contact me via Steam or Discord to give you the early access key. DEPO Discord: https://discord.gg/5H7uPAK
Here is a list of information that will be of interest: - The online system will be totally free and without any kind of payment. It will be included in the story mode of DEPO. - Players will be able to collide with each other, but this will be disabled when performing time trials. - Any player can see another player if they are on the same level. At the moment there is no limit to the number of players on the same level but this will be adjusted in the online tests. - Each player keeps his own game with his own percentage, i.e. a person with a completed game can play with another who has just started. - The introduction of cheats will only affect the person who activates them, the rest will not be affected. - You will be able to equip your online character with new outfits and clothes. These will be obtained within the game without any kind of microtransaction. - Each person has their own world, if you activate a button it only affects your world. The rest of the people will have the button without activating. Actually, the worlds are only shared visually. - Each player can be in different levels. You can enter a level and your friend will remain in his until he wants to join you. - You can see from the pause menu which players are in the current level, and a list with the number of players in other levels. - The online mode and viewing of online player deaths can be disabled from the pause menu in a new tab. - You will be able to see the players' names above their character. - There will be emojis to react and communicate with the rest. There will be no text or voice chat. Remember that if you have already purchased or are going to purchase the coffee DLC, contact me to give you early access to the online beta. For more information join the DEPO Discord server: https://discord.gg/5H7uPAK

NEW CONTEST! IT'S TIME TO BE A REAL SPEEDRUNNER!

What does it consist of? In the Fitxel Zone, a new area has been created in honor of the fastest pixels in the System, you can participate in 4 modes: Any%: beat the story mode as fast as possible. 100%: beat the story mode 100% (all collectibles of clothes, eyes and rockets) as fast as possible. Less jumps: beat the story mode with the least number of jumps in the shortest time possible. No death: complete the story mode without dying in the shortest time possible. How to participate? You must record the game on video, upload the video to Youtube and ask for a review at: https://www.speedrun.com/depo Once your attempt is validated you will appear in the ranking. Is there a prize? The top 3 of each modality will have a statue with their name and their best time in the Fitxel Zone, and they will be able to choose the clothes they will wear on their statue! In addition, as long as you are in the top 3 of a category you will win the role of "Bill, the speedrunner" on the Discord server. How often are the in-game statues updated? Approximately every 15-30 days if there are changes in the top 3. What are the rules? - The recording should have no cuts or editing, it should be done all in a row. - The timer must start right when you choose difficulty when creating a new game. - The stopwatch stops at the start of the last cinematic when leaving the red pixel's house. - It is not obligatory to use the splits that are discussed below, but they help to practice and to know the current time in each section. (OPTIONAL) What are splits? The splits are different points that are created before starting the speedrun to have a reference through a program. After passing that area of the game marked in the split, the time taken to pass it is shown (the speedrunner must press the 0 key of the numeric pad to register it). (OPTIONAL) How do I generate splits for DEPO? 1. Placing the splits is very simple, just download the LiveSplit program from this web: https://livesplit.org/downloads/ 2. Download these templates of splits and layout on DEPO that I have generated for you: https://www.speedrun.com/resourceasset/i3rnu (Although you can create your own if you want) 3. Once you have downloaded the program, open it and right click on the window and click on Open Split and select the Split you downloaded in step 2. 4. Right click again and select Open Layout and choose the one you downloaded in step 2. Now you have everything set up to start speedrunning professionally! Remember, to start counting the time and to pass from split you must press the 0 key on the number pad on the right side of the keyboard. Press the 3 key on the number pad to reset the counter. Join the Discord to speak about new optimal paths or hints! https://discord.gg/5H7uPAK

Snakby is planning to hold an art exhibition with his best works. Can you help him by sending some fanart?

How do I participate? Submit one or more DEPO drawings through the official Discord (discord.gg/5H7uPAK) or through the Artworks section on Steam. Will all fan artwork be added to the game? It is possible that, due to the high number of submissions, not all will be added or rotated over time. Those not related to DEPO or featuring controversial topics will not be added. What format and resolution should the fanart be in?. You can draw your illustration in any format (on paper and then scanned or directly in digital) and in any kind of resolution (horizontal, vertical, square, etc...). What can I draw? Anything you want, as long as it is related to DEPO. What's the deadline? Snakby plans to open the doors of his art gallery on September 1, 2022, so as long as you submit your fanart before that date, there should be no problem getting it added.
