JamG
MegaPatch 0.57
The latest patch includes:
- smoother textures on several models
- music! Yeeey! :)
- a nice vista with clouds and a beautiful sunset/sunrise (you can pick your favourite, it works both ways since it's only in your head)
- a calm ocean stretches under the platforms
- the killzone is visible now, which helps measuring up your distance from it and the space you can move in
- new marble texture
- changes had been made to the maps to improve smooth playability
- improved respawn system for your delight (a major step towards multiplayer compatibility)
- new difficulty settings: "Hard" (removed checkpoints) and "Dark Souls"
What features do we plan in the future?
(Not necessarily in this order)
- sound effects
- a nice splash when something falls into the water
- coop gameplay with maps designed for two player fun
- multiplayer modes
- new single player, coop and multi maps
- skin selection, so you can play as a football, lead balloon, orange, planet, etc
- accessories like a fancy monocle, bunny ears, hats, or whatever your hearts desire
- model and skin workshop, so you can make and share your own creations
- free look camera
- leaderboards
- controller support
Level editor is a big maybe for now. We would really love to add it, but for that we need to find and kill a bug which makes level editing very clumsy at the moment.
As usual, please keep in mind that the game is still in alpha, lots of assets are still placeholders and may change in the future.
Bugs currently under termination:
- music stops at the end of levels (the game pauses)
- faulty lighting at some places
- at the end of the levels, you have to doubleclick on the buttons
- FPS might drop when new objects spawn
- when you respawn, music sometimes stops for fraction of a second
Thanks and have fun playing! ^^
Menu bug fixed
The major bug with the menu has been taken care of, I wish to thank you for your patience regarding this. In the newest update there are also some minor changes on the levels based on your feedback, mostly to make the game a bit easier.
Thanks for playing ^^
Levels 1-5 updated
The community around JamG is real great, thank you guys for the persistent testing and keeping me posted on the results! I had some time to update half of the levels with better clues and fine-tune even more puzzles, I think the learning curve is way better now.
Thanks for reading and have fun playing ^^
2nd level updated
Based on your feedback I made some modifications on the second level, it is less challenging and the learning curve is better with more hints. New level backgrounds are on the way as well.
Thanks for playing ^^
New version with fixed checkpoints
I uploaded a new version which fixes the problem with the checkpoints. They should work properly now. Also, If you press "R" in the game, it resets the game to the current checkpoint, and "E" puts you back to the beginning of the level.
Have fun! ^^
