Hello, dear Greenfeet friends! May the grass be soft beneath your feet!
What a challenging week! The stress of the release, last-minute bugs, and... unforeseen delays. I was supposed to publish an alpha build of the game on Wednesday, October 30, but a personal emergency (nothing serious!) forced me to push it back a day to Thursday, October 31. Everything was finally on track until the crucial moment of pressing the button to publish the new version: two-factor authentication wasn’t working. So I tried adjusting some security settings and... found myself locked out for 72 hours without being able to publish!
So, it's now scheduled for release next Monday, November 4. As for the game itself, I’ve fixed some last-minute issues and bugs. However, I couldn't update and reactivate the tutorial. This might be an issue for new players, as observed in offline playtests. It will likely be addressed in the first post-release update.
If you want to be a tester and get access to the alpha, please join the discord and apply for the "playtester" role!
Feedback system
There is now an in-game embedded form for anonymous feedback. The system also offers to take a screenshot to attach to your feedback. Feel free to report anything you find relevant, whether positive or negative, as well as any bugs encountered. This feedback is a direct way to get involved in the game’s design and help me understand your expectations so I can best meet them!
Credits
The game now has credits, which will be updated as the project evolves and new people get involved. If you think I missed you or anyone else, feel free to let me know (I’ll be a bit embarrassed)!
Bugfixes
- FIXED: Fixed window resizing distorting the game.
- FIXED: Fixed the save system crashing when saving a map with explored sectors.
- FIXED: Fixed invalid game state after loading a save with an exploration in progress.
That's a wrap for this week. Thank you for reading!
