Bogey Brian
Version 0.986 - Bug fixes and Square Brian!
It mostly consists of bug fixes, some of which were rather random and hard to track down. I've been wanting to focus on fixing some of these game breaking bugs, but also can't resist adding a new hat effect when the idea for one comes my way.
Patch Notes:
Fixed deadzone on challenge hat select screen
Removed excess debugging code to reduce garbage collection
Updated to a new version of unity LTS (Long Term Support).
Fixed bug in random mode where next button after finishing level caused an error by trying to load a level that didn't exist.
New hat: Boujee Brian and several variants
New Effect: Bricky Brian - makes brian square shaped instead of round.
Several new challenge hats
Fixed error when viewing score screen without hat equipped
Fixed error where chest opening failed and got stuck
Fixed Feudal Fairways Impossible hole 8 - OB zone was too high and that made it impossible to take the low route
Version 0.985
Another updates - Stats, as well as a small but important fix.New Features:
Stats
The game will now collect 22 different stats as you play. Holes completed, Shots taken, Aces, Powerups Used, etc... They can all be viewed from the Settings menu via the "View Stats" button.
Bug Fixes/Tweaks:
Shop Bug - Some (most) users were running into an issue where the buy menu of the hat shop wasn't loading correctly. I've fixed the bug and it should work reliably now.
Version 0.984
Finally, another update! I'm sorry to the maybe 2 fans of the game out there that have been waiting for this.Seriously though - this update contains many improvements that, in my opinion, make the game much more playable.
New Features:
Three new elements of information have been added to the score display (Shown when you hold down tab):
- The course name, difficulty, hole number.
- Score total.
- A list of current abilities (from your equipped hat)
An offscreen indicator has been added to give a better idea of where Brian is when he is offscreen - this helps finding brian when panning the camera around as well.
Bug Fixes/Tweaks:
Random Course - There were a few bugs here, which resulted in a tutorial level and an impossible level showing in random courses when they shouldn't have.
Version 0.983
New Features:
- Updated the hat generation for Random mode - lots of hat effects that were previously exclusive the challenge hats can now appear on random hats in Random mode.
- Animated the firepits on Feudal Fairways
- Added a camera pan when you start each hole. The camera will start focused on the hole, then pan to Brian. This will give players a better sense of where the hole is on each level.
- Speedrun mode countdown - Along with the camera pan, there is now a 3 second countdown before the timer starts. You can still do things like move the arrow or pick a powerup, but you cannot start the power bar until the timer starts.
Bug Fixes/Tweaks:
- Updated to a newer version of Unity - this appears to have solved several bugs that were hard to track down and fix, including a bug where your score was not saved after finishing a course, and you got to open 2 of each type of chest.
- Spaced out Star image and the numbers showing how many you mad on the course select screen
- Fixed a penalty that was not collectible on Candy Country normal hole 3
- Made almost all of the course stars easier to obtain. A lot of these were balanced around the best scores of the 5 or so people playtesting the game, and I think they may have been a bit aggressive.
- Forced the max frame rate of the game to match the refresh rate of the monitor. This was supposed to help with the screen tearing that I've noticed while playing on my laptop... Other players do not seem to have this issue, so more research needs to be done here.
