GITHUB ISSUE REPO

Our new game network SWGIO.COM
We've had a lot of trouble getting seen on steam. They seem to push us to the back and not let us get much visibility. So we've created our own gaming network that lets you play games on your phone without downloading them, compete with others directly or for high score, co op, and post social posts.

Our network is run and moderated by humans, not algorithms. And we curate what makes it based on our own criteria that are determined by actual people. Also there are no bots on our network, unlike certain bird themed networks.

We hope you join us in this adventure to take our games and our community to the next level, reach out to me @michaelplzno if you want info or an invite to our new space for games!

Here is our video about the new update:

Verion v0.45 - More localization fixes.
This should have all in game text ready for localization.

Small Localization Fix
Added a few extra localization options.

Stardust Hints - Baby Game Fixes
Small tweaks to the Baby Game and also added the hint system for Stardust so he doesn't say the same thing over and over! Now there are a bunch of hints that will notify you and also small talk for when you press the ? button and there is nothing to explain.

v0.42 - More Localization Tweaks
Added the option to add the size paramater in a localization tag:

STARDUST OFFICE

This means you can override the default font size to deal with long words by making the font smaller.

Also when the system cannot load a localization file it shows an error message in game rather than just having all the text say ERROR. This error msg should help you find the mistake in your localization file.

v0.41 - Localization Fun
Now you can modify localization.txt in the game's directory, by accessing the game's installed files via the steam client to be any language you want!

The file must be valid XML and you should not modify the key values for the text fields, just the information inside the text brackets. You cannot use < or > inside the text fields because this will ruin the XML so if you want to use them you must use < or >

Also we added some special codes {br} is for a line break. {green} starts green text, {black} starts black text and {end} ends the text color. Do not translate these codes, just leave them in your translation, you will see that in the game there is a line break wherever {br} is in the localization. Use this strategically!

If you have a localization for the game in your favorite language, just find me on social and send me the files and I may even make your version the official localization for that language!

MGZ: Nursery Update!
There is a new area in the star base laboratory, it was designed for you to hatch and raise your stars. It includes a new mini game, new setting, new NPC's and with a new set of actions that brings along a brand new difficulty.

Instead of playing the old hand guessing game, now there is Baby Game. Each time you need to replenish your Baby Star's mood you can play a dot connecting game, the trick is to connect all the dots and also fill in the board completely. Its a fun logic puzzle, and each time you play there is a randomly generated board.

Features are similar from the ones we had before, but now you must educate, feed and look after you pet carefully or they can flee the lab. We are removing the death of stars, and instead replaced it with losing pets into space. Hatching new stars will cost extra in game Zoot.

Baby Stars aren't fully aware of themselves, that's why Stardust's OWO Operating System will come in handy to assist every single step of the way letting you know what your pet needs. Stars now read books and collect allowance as they grow. We are also including a new mini-game available with the nursery.

We are testing interactive background design which includes a new robot in the Matchyverse! Introducing Red, he will be helping along bringing cuteness into the game. It's still under construction but it is available now for you to play and provide feedback as we build it.

Big Zoot Update!
We've spent a lot of time working out the economy for the food upgrades in Matchymart and now there is no limit to the amount of Zoot you can collect.


  • Fix bugs on older machines.
  • Add interactive elements to splash screen.
  • You can interact with, throw and move, coins in Xanadu and the splash screen.
  • Zoot is rendered as big numbers with suffixes for very high values.
  • Food can be upgraded in Matchymart.
  • You can build special ships that are worth tons of Zoot.
  • Special ships value can be upgraded.
  • Salad takes longer to digest than other food and is up-gradable.
  • Corndog gives you a chance to build a big ship worth more.
  • Eating a snack transforms you into that snack.
  • Snacks help you train your pet by forcing them to do personality actions.
  • There is a thought gear between personality actions to help you train your Star.
  • You can collect Xanadu Coins for earning tons of Zoot.
  • Add polish to text elements, shadows and layering are correct.
  • Tweak sugar rush cap value.
  • The care level you give Stars affects even high level Stars.
  • Clicking Zee's nametag and glasses has better effects.
  • Clean up sprite hit boxes.
  • Cash SFX only occurs on big purchases.
  • Back button is consistent: always upper right.


Phew! That's a lot of fixes, upgrades, and polish. I recommend you do a hard reset in the settings menu and try to earn the new upgrades in the order they are given out, but its not required.

We'd love to hear your feedback on the new build, and we'll fix anything that is broken so hit us up in https://discord.silverwaregames.com our Discord server to let us know if you have any feedback. Our social links are listed below too!
