• Upgraded backend server so that it doesn't fall asleep.

Bugs

• Fixed a bug that was causing simultaneous running versions of plinker to overwrite scores.
• Fixed an issue that was overwriting host code when saving.

Notes

• I'd like to apologize for all the bugs initially introduced with the OBS browser source feature. I knew it was going to have some problems but I didn't realize it was going to be essentially unusable. This next version should be fairly more stable, but unlikely to be perfect. If you run into bugs with the OBS web source please be sure to reach out to me. If you give me your host-code it will allow me to better find and diagnose the issues. Thank you for your continued patients and support.
• IMPORTANT Since the OBS Browser sources require me to use live game servers. I technically pay a cloud service for every second it is utilized. Because of this I ask that when adding the OBS Browser source you check "Shutdown source when not visible"

Features

• Introduced a Mac compatible version!
• Introduced a Linux compatible version!
• OBS Browser Source support for the leaderboard! Go to settings while in Plinker to setup your 'host code' and you can now reference the leaderboard as an OBS Browser Source!
• You can now toggle the in-game leaderboard visibility through the menu
• Moved in-game leaderboard further to the side

Bugs

• Fixed a bug that was clearing the leaderboard when restarting plinker.
• Fixed an issue in the save file that was causing issues when upgrading Stream Toys

Notes

• This version introduces the backend architecture for live communication to game services. This enables the use of things like OBS Browser Sources for displaying live in game information! The first of these features is a Leaderboard. When in a Plinker board you can hit 'esc' to go to the menu. Then hit the "Get Host Code" button to be taken to the Stream Toys Web "Host Dashboard". From the host dashboard you can copy and paste your "Host Code" into the game. (This will only need to be done once). From here you can get your browser source URL and pull it into OBS.
• IMPORTANT Since the OBS Browser sources require me to use live game servers. I technically pay a cloud service for every second it is utilized. Because of this I ask that when adding the OBS Browser source you check "Shutdown source when not visible"

Bugs

• Refactored Social Media Controller. Previously SMC was closing down and starting any time a scene changed. Moved this to a single controller that starts up once even as you move between mini games.
• Refactored Volume Inconsistencies. Default volume with fresh install starts at 25%. Volume settings should remain constant when switching mini games.
• Refactored Twitch caching. Turns out that every time a plink was generated or ball called, the Twitch API was getting called every... single... time. This is bad. So I made it so first plink or ball or whatever form a user caches that information properly for use later.

Features

• Added "Chroma Mode" to Break the Ice. Hit ESC while in game to enable
• Added option for Break the Ice to allow users to contribute multiple balls per level (Use this sparingly, it's much more fun when 'every ball is sacred, every ball is good')

Notes

• Chroma color has been changes from green to magenta (there is a default magenta chroma setting in OBS so work should be minimal)
• Having watched Plinker been played on streams I have notice something that I'd like to share. Less plinks = more fun. I'd encourage you to lower from numbers like 99 to 5 or even 1 as it leads to more interest and direct involvement. Spamming 99 plinks at once is pretty low stakes. Just a thought, plink as you will.
