Good news everyone!
Vortex Evader now uses Butler!
What is butler?
Butler is Itch.io's own update manager. It's responsible for detecting and installing game updates on your computer... exactly like when a new update comes out for a game on steam
What do i have to do?
Butler is very simple. For your part, all you need to do is Download the app and sign in.
Then find Vortex Evader from the search bar and install it from the itch.io app
Once you do that, you can safely delete the old version of the game from wherever you saved it 🙂
Now, whenever an update becomes available on itch.io, the app will download and install the changes for you!
No more having to check if there's been any updates! 😁
How does it work?
I use a service some of you may have heard of called GitHub to manage and track changes to Vortex Evader.
Whenever I 'push' changes to Github, a script runs automatically that builds and publishes changes with Butler!
It's all automatic, which means updates should come out a little faster, and you don't have to check to see if there have been any updates.
I hope you all find this new feature quite useful :) Please, feel free to leave any feedback in the comments!
Note: Butler's automatic versioning system doesn't support minor/major versioning. So This version of Vortex Evader is actually being downgraded to "version 2"... don't be fooled, it's still the latest version, I just can't make it say "2.2" 😂
