Little Einar

Achievements Update



This update introduces Steam achievements. As more levels are released, more achievements will be created.

Additionally, a couple bug fixes have been made.

Enjoy

Looking ahead

Little Einar has been out for about a month, and for a first game, I'd call it a success! I hope everyone who played Little Einar enjoyed it.

Looking ahead, I want to begin development of Chapter 2, Ten more levels for Little Einar with an entirely new feel and theme that will be available as a free update. I'd like to release all ten levels at once instead of one ad a time like I did when I was in early access.

In the near future, you'll be able to look forward to continued code optimizations and small game features such as achievements.

Additionally, I'll begin prototyping my next game. Sufficient to say, 2019 will be busy for MADBones Games! Stay tuned for more updates.

Another Hotfix Inbound!

While testing the last hot fix, I found out that the spectator feature was causing stuttering. As it is a neat feature, but not an impact to game play, I am removing it for now.

The update should be live shortly.

VR Optimization Hotfix

Thanks to a recent review, I discovered that some of the system settings used to keep VR applications running at a decent framerate were not migrated to the shipping version of Little Einar. This issue was mostly prevalent on the Oculus Rift.

After confirming the issue, I quickly patched it. An update has been released.

Little Einar has been released out of Early Access!



We're very proud to announce that after two years, Little Einar has finally left Early Access!

This release brings a ton of new updates and optimizations. Things like 3d liquids and gases, a leader board and new colorful and challenging environments.

Just because Little Einar is now out of Early Access doesn't mean that you won't see any more updates. This is only the first chapter of his adventure. There's another 20 levels to go.

Keep an eye out for more updates and more stuff coming from MADBones Games soon!

Enjoy

3 Days Until Full Release!

We're three days away from full release and we're getting pretty excited. We've got a huge update brewing. Everything has been polished. Bugs have been smashed and levels have been tested.

Thank you to everyone that has supported us.

Happy New Year!



2018 was a very productive year for Little Einar, after going into early access late December 2017, there has been a ton of great feedback from players, family and friends. Everyone did their part to make Little Einar better and more enjoyable.



The game has matured since Early Access release. Several levels have gone through a review in preparation for full release in late January. It's hard to believe it's the same game. I'm really looking forward to releasing the update to the public. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

The full release will be dropping sometime late January. I'll post a more specific date in the coming days.




PS: I've received some Knuckles controllers from Valve. They're great! I look forward to implementing them. While they won't be super useful for Little Einar, I've got something amazing cooking for 2019.


Dev Update: Level 3 Beautification Complete!

Little Einar's road to full release is long, but coming along nicely.

Some stuff to look forward to when the next update drops (hopefully in the next few weeks)

Level 3 beautification is complete, a leaderboard has been implemented and several bugs have been smashed. Even the motion controls got some attention. Hopefully you'll find controlling Little Einar with the Vive wands to be a bit easier when this update drops.

Little Einar Full Release January 2019!

I'm happy to inform that game play development has completed on the first 10 levels of Little Einar. It's a major milestone and one of the final steps before full release!

The work is not done however, more levels for Little Einar will come as free updates and feedback will always lead to continuous improvements.

Before release, I'm going to root out any remaining bugs and beautify the levels.

Here's some pictures of level 1 and 2. I hope you enjoy the aesthetic as much as I do! :)


The Bigger They Are...

Hello!

Just a quick touch base and a little teaser photo for the last level of Chapter 1.



Hope to have Level 10 fully designed and tested in the next few weeks. Then after a last design pass to fix some nagging issues and add some more polish, Little Einar will be leaving Early Access.

Development will continue though! By the end of it's development cycle, Little Einar will have 30 levels set across three different themes.

Thanks for reading.
