Hardlight Support coming soon!
Thanks to everyone that came out to see us at the Geekwire Bash event in Seattle. It was really cool to see people enjoy the game and VR for the first time.
Jumping into breaking news: I've updated support for the Hardlight haptic feedback suit. It's currently in testing but should be available to any of you guys that have the suit pretty soon! For those of you that don't know, Hardlight is an AWESOME haptic feedback solution that allows you to feel haptics on your arms and torso while in a VR experience. So imagine being able to FEEL when one of the neighborhood kids hits you with a snowball. This should make for a much more interesting arcade experience! It's not available to the public yet BUT we'll be one of the first games to support it!
In other news, Avie is coming along nicely. He's turning out to be a plucky little dude with lots of attitude. Here are some of his emote states! =P
This guy is a little different from the other beginner characters. He's fast and stealthy and available in later levels. He likes to take cover behind houses and boxes and hides in trees. He kinda adds a hide and seek like vibe to the game. I look forward to seeing what you guys think of him!
I hope you are enjoying Epic Snowday Adventure so far. If you are, please leave a review! I'd be happy to hear your thoughts!
Hello World!
What you have before you is Waves 1 - 6 of Arcade Mode of Epic Snowday Adventure. The plan is to keep making arcade mode for awhile, adding seasonal specials, tournaments, multiplayer, and much more. Then I begin phase 2.... What is phase 2? You can only imagine what phase 2 is... but its going to be EPIC! It also wont be around before Q2 2019, but hopefully you won't lose interest before then!
Now, on to updates! You can count on at least one update per month, but I may surprise you here and there with updates outside of that schedule... like the one I just submitted today! This one is some simple bug fixes, where I had some players teleporting INTO houses. You're not supposed to be able to do that! ... yet!
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed teleport into house on wave 4
- Unreachable hidden cocoa now possible to consume
- Took out some unnecessary lighting calculations, which should make the game run a bit faster on slower computers!
We're a small team so sometimes weirdness slips through the cracks, but I'll be around fixing stuff. I enjoy it... really. So let me know if there's stuff you wanna see. And look forward to April's update which should reach you guys mid April or sooner. April's update will have a few new features but the primary one is Avie "the ninja" Jones. Stay tuned!
If you wanna stay EVEN MORE in the know and potentially be invited into beta testing, follow us in the community hub! We really appreciate having more people test our game before it hits the masses.
