Version 0.7.2.0
I'm losing my mind. The game may as well be writing itself at this point.
I'm not including from the original code anymore, and yet unintended changes keep appearing.
As mentioned in the update on the release date, I used to believe there was some kind of security breach. Now I'm not so sure.
There's really only one -barely likely- explanation I can think of at this point. I've had sleepwalking issues before. I remember when I was a kid once I woke up outside in the snow and had to figure out which door to the house I unlocked to get outside, then when I tried to get back inside the house alarm went off.
I haven't sleepwalked in a long time. A relapse isn't out of the question, I've been pretty stressed out recently what with the move and developing a goddamn video game. I've never heard of sleep-coding, but I'm running out of reasons.
Anyhow. This update was pretty 50-50 between me and... well, whoever.
- new levels (not me)
- a blob monster with teeth
- abstract
- a sandwich, I think
- final block homing toggle in options menu (me, after several hours...)
- new distortion layer with scanlines added for better nostalgia stuff, should also improve legacy support (me)
- aaand a lot of stuff that I can't seem to get to run. (definitely not me)
I can't expect you to download this without your understanding that I have no idea what you're getting. You may come across things I haven't seen yet. There's no room for a QA dept in this company. I really need people to test this and tell me what they find. I haven't seen anything dangerous yet
Things I have heard about, but have not seen yet:
- messages appearing in the game, seemingly nonsensical
- a diagram of some sort of circuit board, possibly internal to Vic 30
- a train...?
If you see ANYTHING out of the ordinary, I want to know. Please put it in the bug thread, tweet at me at @StupidMassive and I'll look into it. If you want to back out, that's fine. I can't offer refunds because my fucking business partner won't let me, but if you SEE shit, SAY shit and I'll try to help you out.
Thanks so much for riding this through with me. Really hoping we get this figured out by January. Next update in December.
