Hello again everyone! |
Hello everyone! |
Hello everyone,
[h2]Balance Changes[/h2]
The Deuterium changes were net zero but were required due to some weird issues with the physics in the fluid calculations. [h2]Known Issues[/h2]
[h2]Conclusion[/h2] This will likely be the last bug fix patch for this release, especially with 1.0 coming in less than a month. However if there are some more very substantial issues I'm more than willing to send out another release next week. Thanks again everyone and have a great weekend, Boppy YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCwEkbpmzIaxdEfdVTQEINw Discord: https://discord.com/invite/yY9wHNn Twitch: https://twitch.tv/boppygames Website: https://boppygames.gg |

Hello everyone! |
The major release 0.4.0 is being pushed back until September 1st, 2021. This beta release is just the first of many releases which will constitute the actual 0.4.0 release. |
First of all thank you again to everyone who has reported bugs in the Steam discussions and in the discord. Also a special thank you to everyone who has helped me debug the game on stream! This is a particularly small patch but fixes some critical issues that many players have reported, so fixing these issues was high priority. |
[h2]Overview[/h2] |
Hello again everyone! First I would like to thank everyone who has stopped by the stream and kept me company while I worked on this release. If you haven't already, follow me on Twitch if you want to watch me work on the game!
There have been a substantial amount of changes to the current late game. There are 6 new items:
This building is replacing the Space Elevator for the release. This building's functionality is hidden for now, but will be unlocked for the Technology Tier 2 release which is coming at the end of July. All that is known about the portal for now is its clear that items are able to move in and out of the portal. The portal will unlock on August 1st. [h2]Multiplayer[/h2] There are two options for multiplayer right now, playing through LAN (connecting to an IP and port) or just playing through Steam, which is what I think most players will use. You can also invite people from your steam friends list and play with LAN players at the same time. The new multiplayer lobby can be found in the menu by pressing "host game" You can also control the lobby through the in game menu. Just press "Network Settings" and you will get this screen: In the Network Settings menu you can kick players and change the permissions of your Steam lobby. This will allow you to kick members who are acting malicious [h2]Controller Support[/h2] We recently polished up the controller support and it is now available for players to test. If you want to give the game a try using a controller, you should just be able to plug in an xbox or PS4 controller when the game starts up. You should then be able to navigate most menus by just using the controller. On the Steam page, the controller support is listed as "Partial" because some aspects like entering text still need to be done with a keyboard. We will gradually work towards full controller support over the next few months. [h3]Controller Remapping[/h3] I think its likely people will want to try out other types of controllers that we don't officially support, so I thought it was important to allow controller button remappings. This is very similar to the keyboard + mouse remappings. There are now some controller remapping options as well, these are separate from the keyboard mappings so you can customize your mappings for keyboard + mouse/gamepad separately. [h2]Conclusion[/h2] Holy smokes has it been a long month. I would like to give a special thanks to everyone in the community who has helped test Boppio and has supported me. I have tried to compile a list of the people who have made the largest impact on the game and it was surprisingly difficult because there are so many of you. And a very special thanks to the following people (in no particular order):
And thank you to jordan for testing my patience :) I would also like to thank everyone for their patience as I was very ill the 2 days before the release. The release would have been much buggier had it not been for everyone testing the game in the final few hours, so thank you :) |
