v1.1.0 Patch Notes: Endings, Balancing, Bugfixes, Aesthetics, and an Easter Egg

Gem Drilla Incorporated
A downloadable game for Windows

New Features

  • Added a temporary ending: mining the citrine. There may be a much more intricate ending coming soon.
  • Added an easter egg at max depth.
  • Implemented a congratulations message when all upgrades are maxed out.

Balancing

  • Increased the max level of all upgrades to 10.
  • Increased the price of the Fuel Capacity upgrade.
  • Increased the price of the Mining Efficiency upgrade.
  • Decreased the price of the Movement Speed upgrade.

Bugfixes

  • Implemented support for arrow-key movement: WASD-only movement potentially alienated users of non-QWERTY keyboard formats, so this is a temporary solution until a functional settings menu is implemented.
  • The game should now detect and use the player's monitor's bits per pixel.
  • Fixed transition bug: clicking buttons during a transition between game states will no longer produce a sound.
  • Added version number to save files.

Aesthetics

  • Added pulsation to the title text on the main menu.
  • Enlarged the outlines of title fonts: on states such as the main menu, upgrades menu, and post-run results menu, the outlines of large text seemed inconsistent with the game's aesthetics.
  • Shortened transition time between game states.
  • Adjusted shading on the drill.
