[Important] Humble Jingle Bundle

Hello,

Many of you came from the Humble Jingle Bundle today, this lead to some confusion and a bunch of Issues which I will now Adress:

System Requirements


It seems like Humble did not provide you with System Requirements for the Game, this is unfortunate and I am sorry to notice this.

Please read the system requirements below:

Minimum:
OS: Windows 7 or newer
CPU: AMD Phenom / Intel Pentium
RAM: 4 GB RAM
GPU: AMD R9 270X / nvidia GTX 950
DirectX: Version 11
HDD: 1 GB

Recommended:
OS: Windows 7 or newer
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 / Intel Core i3
RAM: 4 GB RAM
GPU: AMD R9 290 / nvidia GTX 970
DirectX: Version 11
HDD: 1 GB

Please note that the game will not run properly at 10-15 FPS or lower. (I also did not expect anyone to actually try playing it at < 25 fps.)


Colorblind People



The Game does have an Option to help you guys a bit.
You can find it in the Settings. (Middle row, bottom -> "Color-Tags")

You can also try to adjust Brightness, Saturation etc.


Personal Note:



The game has been played by many people until today, there were/are no big Issues or Bugs that make it unplayable. (as long as you fullfill the Requirements.)

So far, there were 3 bugreports (of which two are most likely because the requirements are not met) from more than 75.000 Keys that went out today, I consider this an acceptable quote of bugs for a one-man-made indie-game.

But, if you should encounter any Issues, please Post them in the Forums.
I always did my best to fix everything as fast as possible. (You can expect that most bugs are fixed in 1-2 hours of me getting the Report about it, unless its a very Large Problem and/or I am asleep.)


Know Issues:


- None


Unresolved problems (*probably* unrelated to the game):

Thank you.

PS: I do know that the game is not perfect, it was my first attempt. (And this is also why there is a sequel that makes everything better :P)

Autumn-Sale

I forgot that there is an Autumn-Sale that will go until 28th.

Prices for both games did change:

ReThink: 4.99 $ (from 9.99 $)
ReThink | Evolved: 7.99 $ (from 9.99 $)

Halloween Sale

Hello,

allthough the games (and their bundle) do not fit into any "spooky" theme, they are part of the Halloween Sale.

Thats all for now.

[Update 12] Savegame-Fix

Hello,

there was an issue that I could not track down until today:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/603800/discussions/0/3223871682617346120/

I finally got Savegames from someone who was affected by this, and I could find the issue that caused this bug.

The Bug is now fixed. (I tested it a dozen times, so it should be fixed :P)
Affected Savegames do now work as expected.


The problem was hard to fix because it had nothing to do with loading/saving at all, it had to do with 2 puzzles in the game (10 upper part, 32 lower part).

Thanks to "douglas.bermingham" for the savegames.

Thats all for now.

[Update 11] More Keybinding stuff (Important Note inside)

I changed a few things in the Keybindings to allow people to re-use the mousewheel (up/down) as any other key (got a request for that)

This only affects People who already played the game at least once:

If you can't rotate Cubes anymore -> Please edit your Keybindings in the Settings.



I also fixed an issue with "rebinding Spacebar".
Sometimes it happened that a Button had the "focus" of the keyboard and you could not properly rebind the key - this also is fixed now.


The same changes will be made to ReThink | Evolved later today, since both games use the same logic for Keybindings.

Thank you!

50% Off

As announced earlier, "ReThink" will be 50% off until Friday.

This means you can get the Bundle with both Games for ~13$

[Update 10] Fix for Keybindings

Hello,

it came to my attention that i accidently broke the keybindings for the "1-3"-keys.

This caused problems for People with AZERTY-Keyboards.

This is now fixed, you can now rebind the 1-3 Keys properly.

Sorry for the trouble this may have caused.

Thank you.

[Update 9] New UI, Launch, 50% off, Bundle

Hi

I will start with the most important thing right now, the Launch of "ReThink | Evolved" (or ReThink 2 if you like).

http://store.steampowered.com/app/703500



ReThink will get a 50% rebate starting on Monday, till friday. (Wanted to do it from today... but i messed up, sorry.)

There also is a Bundle now, just in case you want to get both games a bit cheaper.


And now, finally the Patchnotes :P

I added the new User Interface vom ReThink | Evolved to ReThink, it looks like this:





Thats all, for now.

ReThink | Evolved - Now its official

Hello

As I announced a few months ago, there will be a second "ReThink", and it will release on 15.09.2017 (DD.MM.YY)

The targeted timeframe is:

PDT: ~23:00
CET: ~06:00 (CEST: 07:00)
GMT: ~05:00

It also has its own CommuntyHub and StorePage for announcements that you can find here:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/703500/


A lot of work went into this game, and still is being put into it (more than 3.000 Work-hours, until now)

The game is undergoing playtesting and bugfixing at the moment, so that it is as bugfree and enjoyable as possible.

but.. but... the "old "ReThink?


There will be a patch for "ReThink" that will add the new menu and Settings (with all of its options) from the second game to it.

Preview:

On release there will also be a new Community-group that will serve as a hub for all of my games, a seperate announcement for it will be made.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to share them here, or in the other community-hub.

If you want you may also look at some behind the scenes stuff on twitter, or follow me there: https://twitter.com/YaekoGames

Thats it for now, thanks.

[Fix] - Minor Bug with the Keybindings

Hello,

it came to my attention that there were some left-behinds in the game that could cause trouble when you tried to rebind keys to the numpad and/or arrow-keys:

http://steamcommunity.com/app/603800/discussions/0/1470841715965474264/

This is fixed now.

Thank you.
