Gnomes Vs. Fairies

Update to Mac version to fix crashes

Hey Mac users! I was getting reports of crashes upon launching the game in some versions of Ios. I made this update to try to address the issue. If it helps let me know, if not, let me know! Thanks!

Oops!

I accidentally uploaded the demo versions to the Mac and Linux depots. Sorry! This has been fixed and should work fine after you update!
This didn't affect windows systems.

Update: Fixed almost everything that was broken about the UI

Also, on the side of a great windy mountain is the newest treasure, the Bow and Arrow!!!!
Shoot precise shots over great distances!

Major Optimization update. Frames per Second has DOUBLED!

And there is no visual sacrifice!
I created a system which disables and enables objects based on location.

It's been 2 weeks fixing all the bugs this system caused but the frame rate benefit was absolutely worth it, ESPECIALLY for vr.

On my system with the Oculus Rift DK2, i now get a solid constant 75 fps at all times with no dips. (The DK2 maxes out at 75 fps, the CV1 caps at 90).


Please report any strange behavior, like monsters not dying, mushrooms not bouncing, moving platforms not moving, etc.

VR users please let me know if the framerate has improved for you!

Thanks for waiting everybody, this update was a BIG one!!!
Also, Gnomes vs. Fairies: Greckel's Quest is going to be at Xpo gaming convention in Tulsa this coming weekend! If you are around come out and see me and try the game in VR.

Also: I added a bow and arrow weapon!! Name your character Dano and bounce up the green shroom at the beginning to put the game in developer mode and try the new bow and arrow, it's really awesome!!

Big update, fixes, changes, gameplay updated

Hey everyone, I'm hoping to round up the last of all the bugs in the game this week so please post in the community if you are having any issues you notice!

So far on the newest release:

Fixed:

*Bugs walking up stairs, getting stuck, etc.
*Fixed possibility of cheating your way up icy patches by using sword combos
*Beginning game loading bar fixed, now reaches %100
*Fixed the cursor unlocking when tabbing out and in to the game
*VR UI is 95 percent complete!

Added:

*Invert Y option for camera
*Controller Support for color boxes and character creation menu
*A little cursor to the menu to help you see what's selected
*Speed blast after running for a little while


Changed:
*Changed the entire feel of the character!!
*Changed the style of double jump to an air double jump.
*Disabled 2player in VR
*Gravity/Fall speed adjusted to fix "floaty" feeling, if you like it, let me know, if it was better before, let me know too! Jumping should feel faster and hopefully more precise.

Linux and Mac updated with all recent changes.

That's it pretty much, see the recent updates to find out what they are!

If you get any crazy bugs especially related to camera, let me know. I added support for oculus rift recently, and those changes shouldn't mess with the linux and mac versions but it's possible they will.

VR update - fixed camera bugs

FIXED - Camera was tilting about 15 degrees after character dies
FIXED - Dialog wasn't appearing during evil fairy cut scene

FIXED - Several other small things related to VR camera.

Latest update for PC, bugfixes

Fixed: Music Volume Slider
Fixed: Color Selectors
Fixed: Weird sideways portal doors spawning at entry to hub worlds

Added: Volume level slider for gnome voices and dialog

PC only for now cause I gotta go to work!

Linux and Mac coming tonight.

VR and oculus rift updates coming tomorrow or sunday.

Have fun!!!

Oculus Rift Support is working like a charm!

And I managed to not break the main game somehow!

Things you can't do in the oculus version very well:

Change your gnome's color on the loading screen.

Remember. this is SUPER beta and I hope you guys give me lots of feedback!

Just click "Launch in Other VR" if you have a rift and you are good to go!!!

OCULUS RIFT SUPPORT OFFICIALLY RELEASING THIS AFTERNOON!!!

I'm having a great time playing Gnomes vs. Fairies: Greckel's Quest in VR!
I hope all of you who have rifts will try it out when it releases!!

If you try to launch it from steam VR right now it will crash, but I got it covered, it's coming this afternoon for sure!
