Puzzle Poker
Other news: Puzzle Poker is launching this morning. A warning, it is a pretty casual game, different from Contraption Maker.

Thanks!
Finally, I know a few folks were going to buy Puzzle Poker as a show of support and I appreciate it. So as thanks I spent some time and added some silly bonus parts (and a few puzzles) to Contraption Maker that will show up if you own both games. Yes they are silly, but I think I can make some neat puzzles with them.

Just a quick short announcement that the Wonderstructs Part Pack will be available on December 11th. It will be $0.99.
You can build fun stuff with the new Wonderstruct parts..
Integrates with all of the other Contraption Maker parts to build contraptions as large as you want.
Comes with many Wonderstructs parts.
Waldo and Tinker in the Wonderstructs basement.
Has two layers so you can create crossovers like this loop
Based upon the real world Wonderstructs.
You read all about them at their website:

Flexisticks! (Build 1.3.6.19)
Flexisticks
They are sticks. They are flexible. Wow! Amazing!
Okay, yeah, they are pretty basic, but seem to be fun to play with. There are three sizes. Made it so ropes can be attached to them for more flexibility in contraption building.
(Edit: Fixed a bug in 1.3.6.18)
Up Next
Been working on some DLC that is more involved than I thought it would be. In other words, it is a lot of work! Really tempted to set price at $1.99, but already said $0.99 so that's what it will be. Probably raise price later on in January or February after folks get a good chance at getting it at the lower price.
I'll try to get a work-in-progress update posted in the next week or so. The new set of parts are called Wonderstructs. Hoping to get out before the end of this month.
Halloween Bat (1.3.6.17)
Bat
Found time to create a new part for Halloween. The bat will flee light sources.
Next Update November 5th
The next update is still up in the air. There is a slight chance it'll be a $0.99 DLC based upon a real world product. Otherwise, I have ideas for another free part.
New Rope Type Parts (Build 1.3.6.16)
Rope Hook Bar
This has many loops that ropes can be attached to.
Wire
The wire is just like the rope except it can not be cut by the scissors.
Rope Ring
You can attach up to eight ropes to the Rope Ring.
Silver Lift Balloon
The Silver Lift Balloon has more lift power than a normal balloon, but not as much as the Golf Lift Balloon.
Next planned update is November 5th
Bonus New Part For Contraption Maker (build 1.3.6.13)
So.... see below about the new Poker Chip part...
Oh, yeah, also added the rotate gizmo to the Gold Lift Balloon.
Puzzle Poker
Puzzle Poker is a fairly casual game that is very close to being done. I've been doing work on it between working on updates to Contraption Maker. Polishing stuff and tweaking game-play.
Planning to get it out the door the first half of November. It'd help if you'd follow it just to check it out when it ships. Different type of game than Contraption Maker, working hard to make it fun.

Poker Chip Part
I made the poker chip small enough to fit through the small pipe. Acts pretty much like a very small ball which is fairly slick and bounces pretty good.
October 15th Update
New Rope type parts are on schedule to be released in an update on October 15th.
