Jelly Brawl 1.5

[h2]I've Rewrote the Networking.. Basically the whole game[/h2]
This isn't the first time I've changed the networking in the game as physics is a hard thing to pull off networking wise. I've realized band-aid solutions aren't working and needed a full swap from Photon Pun (2018) to Photon Fusion (2021) the game is now more stable, accurate, and lag is kept to a minimum. I'm still working on this implementation so currently there is no host migration but I hope to add this in a coming update that will additionally provide cross play with Xbox when it releases.

[h2]Bug Fixes and Stability[/h2]
In the interest of minimizing resources and stability, I've removed some plugins being used that should improve stability and compatibility for most players especially those on Platforms other than Windows. The largest being Firebase, which will remove our Discord competitions but I believe the cost of keeping this plugin in the game was causing more issues than fun for Discord members. However we'd still love to see you and would love for you to join the Discord if you're interested as I'm planning to update our bot to inform you when players are looking for matches to help you find a match with the small player base.

https://discord.gg/mXMgGSc



[h2]Graphical Tweaks[/h2]
I've upgraded to the Unity 2021 pipeline and with it some rendering improvements. Primarily some graphical changes to Hit and Run with the water shader as well as the opening Cutscene.

I apologize for the long waits, I will have more to share with you soon.
Stay tuned!

- Cole

That's right Jelly Brawl is coming Xbox early 2022!

Not only will this bring new players it is helping me continue to provide a series of next gen updates I've wanted to provide.

- Next Gen Networking (The entire game will migrate from Photon Pun to Photon Fusion improving performance and speed. Those lag issues will be solved.)
- Cross Play with Xbox and support for future platforms

You should see these begin rolling out in the coming weeks alongside the one year anniversary of the official release of Jelly Brawl where you will be able to pick up Jelly Brawl on sale as part of the Steam Halloween sale.

[h2]Jelly Brawl V 1.4.4 [/h2]
[h3]Bug Fixes + Hit & Run[/h3]
In the latest Jelly Brawl update, I've taken time to provide bug fixes for recent additions as well as improve the Hit & Run mode.
These include:

- Fixed Hit & Run slime
- Fixed Hit & Run cars spawning incorrectly
- Added destructible environments to Hit & Run
- Adjusted camera movement in classic
- Fixed Destructible in online

Thanks for playing and sharing Jelly Brawl with friends

[h2]As of today, the Jelly Brawl: Classic expansion pass is no longer available to purchase on Steam
All those who have purchased it have been given a free copy of the full game on Steam[/h2]



This was done to reduce confusion on what to purchase as all content in the expansion pass and more is available in the full game. The expansion pass was originally offered to provide a cheaper entry point to play the game if you wanted to play just classic mode but unlock new faces. And at the time the pass came out, wanted to play Online.

Online is now available for free so the expansion pass is creating confusion. However, to thank all those who supported the game early on, I wanted to provide a gift of the Full Game which steam should've provided you between yesterday and today. Your same save will be used in the full game as it was in Classic and if you want continue playing just Classic your unlocks from the expansion pass will still be available. The expansion pass can just no longer be purchased by new players.

If you purchased the Jelly Brawl: Classic Expansion but have not yet received the full game in your library on Steam, please reach out to me in my DM's on Discord (you will need your steam receipt to prove you purchased the expansion pass and do not currently have Jelly Brawl in your library).
Link to Join the Discord Server: https://discord.gg/mXMgGSc

Thanks everyone and hope the new players enjoy the game
And maybe if you're enjoying the full game, consider leaving a review, it really helps a lot.

More updates are on the way soon as they have been for the past months. (Next update will focus on Hit and Run)

Thanks everyone,

[h3]I'm back as promised to continue rolling out multiple new updates that aim to overhaul Jelly Brawl's visuals and content![/h3]

[h2]In this Update: Jelly Brawl 1.4.3[/h2]
[h3]Destructible Environments + New Unlocks + New Achievements + New Challenge Rounds![/h3]
Let's crank the mess up to 10! There are new destructible environments in Jelly Brawl across new stages and old! And I've additionally added new levels and new achievements to unlock while you check out the new content!



[h3]New Unlocks[/h3]
There is 5 new levels for a max of 40 levels to reach and 4 new achievements to unlock! In addition to this I've added a new Profile page to view upcoming level unlocks and a new section for you to get these patch notes in game!



[h3]New Challenge Rounds[/h3]
2 New challenge rounds have been added to keep things interesting. Retro and Gooey where the visuals of the game become more challenging to follow. Retro even features a new version of the Classic theme that plays during each fight!



[h3]New Particles Effects + UI + Sounds [/h3]
I also added a handful of new little particle and auditory effects and design improvements have been implemented in addition to bug fixes! Including a new classic theme rendition by Willa for the new Retro challenge round!

As I said, more is yet to come so stay tuned.

I'll have more to share with you soon.
Stay tuned! I've been busy but Jelly Brawl is back baby!

Jelly Brawl V 1.4.2
Quick bug fix patch

- Fixed issue with local player select showing online player select
- Fixed graphical issues in opening cinematic
- Updated challenges UI

[h3]I'm back as promised to continue rolling out multiple new updates that aim to overhaul Jelly Brawl's visuals and content![/h3]

[h2]In this Update[/h2]
[h3]I've Overhauled the Networking![/h3]
Many have commented on the networking being subpar and I've been aware of this. Over the past couple months I actually have had the chance to work on a lot of networking based projects and have been able to take what I've learned and apply it to Jelly Brawl's networking. With this update you should see reduced lag online and proper authoritative servers with rollback like a true fighting game.



[h3]I've Also Continued the Total UI Overhaul[/h3]
With a more clean design to the online lobby showing only your player select and other players to the right of you



[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]
Plenty of fixes as well as performance improvements have been implemented such as controller inversion working online and the resolution select not containing duplicates!

As I said, more is yet to come including

• More UI redesigns
  
• More unlocks
  
• And possibly a new platform to play Jelly Brawl on!
  

Its that wonderful time of year from June 24th-July 8th, its time to make a mess during the Steam Summer Sale. To celebrate I'm rolling out the first of multiple updates that aim to overhaul Jelly Brawl's visuals and content!
[h3]And there's no better time to pick up the full release of Jelly Brawl, with it at a discount of only $7.49[/h3]



[h2]In this update,[/h2]
[h3]I've Overhauled the Visuals of Classic Mode![/h3]
I've started by improving the slime system and its performance! Going through and hand painting all classic stages to ensure the slime coverage is more consistent. Additionally rewriting the Jelly shaders to look even slimier and improve their jiggle! Additionally adding some background elements to add to the void!



[h3]I've Also Started a Total UI Overhaul[/h3]
With a more clean design to the main menu and the beginning of an overhaul on the player select screens, starting with the Solo screen to more simplify what is on screen.



[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]
Plenty of fixes have been implemented regarding custom stages you've been making that look amazing!
As well as controller connection issues!

As I said, more is yet to come including

• More UI redesigns
  
• Networking improvements
  
• More unlocks
  
• And possibly a new platform to play Jelly Brawl on!

[h2]Online mode is now available to all players in Jelly Brawl: Classic for free. forever.
[/h2]
I have heard the resounding opinion that online should be free and I agree! However, to cover server and development costs, I needed to charge players in order to maintain the game. I additionally didn't want to make this a free service and make those who purchased the game or expansion feel cheated. However today I have found a nice compromise for us all to get more brawlers in the game but not cheat those who have supported the game.

[h3]All those who are currently free Jelly Brawl: Classic players now have access to online play. However, the level lock at level 3 still persists making it so you may not unlock any new stages, colors, faces, boss rounds. These will remain exclusive to those who have bought the full game or the expansion. All other game modes, level editor, custom stages, and achievements remain exclusive to the full game [/h3]

This way, those who have supported the game still get exclusive content and will continue too but will allow for the online player count to be more supported by players who can't afford to support the game. If you are unhappy with this change you are welcome to return your expansion or full release purchase through steam.
Thanks to all those who continue to play Jelly Brawl and will be hopping online. Hope to see you there =)

If you wish to support the game please pick up the full release during the upcoming Lunar New Year sale at a discount and Leave a review

[/h2]It is now officially in the game making it easier to share stages. I've made a dedicated video explaining the process of making a stage and uploading it to the workshop as well as how to download others' creations
https://youtu.be/c8ll01b7yP0
There is additionally 5 new tiles and improvements to the editor with more to come in a couple weeks. I hope to have another content update prior to the winter sale with another BIG announcement (hopefully).
If there is interest I'd be interested in holding a competition as well as adding the most popular creations directly to the game. Let me know what you think in the comments

[h2]Additionally there is now Color variations
[/h2]Stages in classic and race now have 4 random color variations that can appear while playing to spice up the game! More color variation has been greatly requested and I hope to add a way to set the color in the settings in a coming update so it is not just random.



[h2]Lastly for the month of December there is a Holiday Event
[/h2]Players who log in during December will unlock the Santa and Reindeer faces! (Santa face exclusive to Full Game and Online expansion holders) Playing with either of these will create a wintery surprise

For full patch notes check out below
Thanks everyone

Jelly Brawl V 1.3.0
- Holiday Event (Reindeer/Santa Hat and Snowy stages available during December)
- Steam Workshop Support (Upload your custom stages)!
- Fix max level 20 bug
- Fix Powerups not delete in level editor
- Fix Conveyor Height in level editor
- Fix Fog in custom stages
- Improved Online lag compensation (Other players snap less)
- Fix Level Editor being locked on load of game (in Steam build)
- 5 New Tiles in level editor
- Added random color variations to Classic and Race mode!

Today I will be releasing a DLC expansion to Jelly Brawl: Classic that for $4.99 gives Classic players the ability to play Classic mode online. This will let players brawl with other Classic players as well as supports crossplay with Full Game players (as long as the lobby is playing classic mode)*
In addition this DLC expansion removes the level cap from Jelly Brawl: Classic allowing you to level up to the level cap of 30 unlocking new colors, faces, stages, and boss rounds!

* This expansion however DOES NOT add achievements or give you access to the Race, Hit & Run, Or Custom Mode and Custom Stages + Level Editor found in the full game (Online or Locally). These features will and always will be exclusive to the full game.
It should also be noted, if you choose to purchase the expansion and then later upgrade to the full game, the price of the expansion WILL NOT be deducted from the game's price.
And if you already own the full game, this will not grant you anything you dont already own.

I hope with this addition, the game is more accessible and provides more opportunity for those to experience it.
If youre interested go pick it up right now!

[h3]The thirteenth episode of Jelly Brawl's devlog is out now! Feel free to either read the written version below or catch the five minute video version on my youtube channel right here![/h3]
[previewyoutube=63dPC9Zac8A;rightthumb][/previewyoutube]

Now you may be saying, but the full Jelly Brawl hasn't been released yet??
After last devlog I began researching many reddit post mortems of indie games and I came to one consistent realization. The most effective marketing strategy currently is showing a playable demo to your customer base. Okay well Ive done that, Ive had a demo out for months. But its not reaching as many people as I want. So how do I do that better? Well the most effective means of doing this currently is releasing a free game on steam. So I said deal me in Gabriel Im ponying up and dropping a game baby.
So I prepared a big overhaul to the demo and came up with the clever name of Jelly Brawl: Classic. This is because its Jelly Brawl but you can only play the classic game mode. This took about a month to prepare because going through steam review takes time and they ask for changes and blah blah. Lets fast forward past this part cause I dont really have anything interesting to say about this that hasnt been said before.
So I hit the release button and what happened? Decent numbers, I saw a nice initial peak of about 2000-5000 views each day, 100 wishlist additions to my full game and got around 2000 downloads on the demo across 3 days. Alright, a little better than when I released my demo but not crazy better. But something happened after that third day.
I received ten reviews in those three days with about 80% being positive and it was after this that I got on the new and trending page on free to play hub which was a massive boost giving me more views than my whole launch day within two and half hours.
By the end of this first week, I had over 3.5 mill impressions, almost 90k page visits, 22,000 demo units moved and 260 wishlist additions on my full game. Now were cooking baby
After I received 50 reviews (that were still above 80% positive) within a week and a half I appeared on the new and popular list on Steam! I peaked and Im still there now..



Thus concludes Cole's chat about game dev numbers that are fun for some but extremely boring to the rest so lets get back to talking about making my game shall we.

Now I have not just been sitting around twiddling my thumbs this time watching the numbers go up. Okay. Ive been doing it alot but its not all Im doing.

I spent a good chunk of that month throwing more content into the game. I spent a week working on the race mode. For those unaware this is a mode where you complete time trial style through an obstacle course. I completed 3 new race maps give or take as well as improved the race experience a lot such as making a fast reset system after you die.



I also worked quite a bit on Hit & Run. The mode that is semi procedurally generated, survival esque, destruct-athon experience inspired by crossy roads and frogger.
(This mode is still a little nebulous and I need to nail it down to something more)

Anyways I added new props, destructible environments, logs, water, new cars. And I decided that it would be more fun if you didnt just die but instead I utilize the new smash like health system from last devlog and every time youre hit youre more likely to go flying and if youre thrown out of bounds then you are out of the game.
This keeps the game fun and light.



I also added new stages and hazards like fire and lasers. I even added a new type of rounds called challenge rounds that can occur at any time and put a twist on the rules such as inverted controls or sudden death where everyone is low on health.

I also created the level editor which is super cool and super fast and oh Im so proud of it! Its a tile based system where you can plop down pieces from various categories and each category has sets of alternate tiles you can sift through to craft the perfect stage, you can adjust height and rotation and quickly test your stages as you make them with this sleek UI transition. LOOK AT THAT. THAT IS HOT.



And youll be able to share to steam workshops and download others to play in custom matches Im still working on that part though Kind of like Im still working on the multiplayer oops. Thats for next week though. But the game is really coming together. There is now a fair amount of content with new challenges, improved controller support and bug fixes courtesy of the steam review teams complaints.


But Im back. Im feeling encouraged that maybe now theres a chance this will all work out.
So next time, we will sort out the mess that is my online multiplayer and we get it working as that is what youre all here for.
Its heating up now baby!
Can you handle the heat?
You cant handle this jelly!
Ill see you all next time. Love you bye.
