• Russian Language Translation Provided by Nikita Mikhalev: https://bsky.app/profile/doppelgangerra.bsky.social

• Gallery Mode (Unlocks after beating New Game +)

• New Game + Doubles all enemy health in game AND you only have 30 seconds to beat each dungeon / area

v1.80 Bug Fixes

• Patched the infinite use of an ability

• Okay so apparently CLICKING damage in Light Fall wasn't accurate to how it was supposed to work this entire time?! How the hell was that missed??? Thousands of people played this game and no one noticed that the math wasn't mathing?????????

I will have new projects come out between that time. It's all a matter of patience as I try to juggle making games with zero budget while also working full time at my job IRL.

I thank you all that support me even if you can't give me monetary support, you give me hope and that's something we could all use right now.

Yes the Mac port is still on the way and hopefully by the end of this month.

As for the Android port it's only available through the $5+ Tier on my Subscribestar BUT I will have it available on itch for a short time this weekend if you want to get it there.

This is the week 41 devlog for Cosmic Construct. Each week I go over development goals established at the end of the previous week's post.

To follow the game's progress you can join me at:

• My bluesky account which gives more frequent updates.

• The Cosmic Construct community discord server.

• Also Wishlist Cosmic Construct on Steam and follow it's steam page.

I didn't get as much as I would like to have gotten done. I roped myself into doing a writing event, which ate up a bit of my time. It was a 24 hour writing sprint, where you write as much as you can for a story in 24 hours. After that, as a creative, you find yourself out of the creative juice for a little bit until you recover. I wasn't really in the mental state to do the art design for anything. I did get some work done however, so lets take a look at

- Structure Art (which is still a development bottleneck)

I did like a few lines for one frame of animation, we will say this was not done.

- Start on the 6th biome.

I got the terrain and foliage layers for the biome done. Coming up with new interlocking shapes for the terrain is always difficult. Because of the way the pieces fit together (they are non-regular concave tessellating) I have to be careful with what shapes are where when they are interlocked with the procedural terrain generator. They also have to fit together with every other terrain shape to support terraformation.

I finished up two of the new resources, Soulstone and Astralite. The minable resources have a bunch of variations, so they have a lot of frames to draw.

I also did the item icons needed. I'm sure I'll need more icons for crafted recipes later. Here in the bottom row left to right are Purple Plant Fiber, Astralite, Soulstone, Ghost Peppers, Astralar, and Weird Log.

I still need to do the interactable world objects for Weirdwood trees, Ghost Peppers, and Ghastgrass.

- Work on the minigame mechanics

I'm also having difficult getting the turns rolling over after dice are selected in the Sparkle minigame, and I'm trying to figure out why. Sometimes the NPC is selecting the player's dice on the player's turn. So, I have something going on with states that I need to fix. I also need to add a way for the player to bail from the game, a while also losing their bet. Also, I need the save file to resolve the gameplay state, so that if the game is closed in the middle of a minigame the player still loses their bet to prevent save scumming.

- More achievement icons (If I have time)

I did 2 more of these.

---

Over this next week I need to finish the biome I started, so that has priority.

- Finish the biome.

- Work on the minigame mechanics

- Structure Art (if I have time)

- More achievement icons (if I have time)

Thank you for joining me this devlog.

Adjusted a few things to help players be nudged in the right direction while playing:

• Marrow Flasks have had a few small tweaks made to them:

  • The Merchant now sells them in 9-packs instead of 3 at a time. The price is also somewhat lower per flask than before. This is because almost everyone just ended up buying a full stack anyway.

  • As a consequence, normal enemies now have a small chance of dropping Marrow Flasks to help players replenish, since the cost to acquire the flasks in the first place is higher & it is no longer much of a "I have spare bones to spend" item.

  • As a final knock-on consequence, since there are more Flasks in circulation & they are cheaper, players now get a big penalty to HP healed after drinking a whole 9-pack of flasks in a single life (it resets at the end of the wave, too).

  • The end result is that it is a more reliable mechanic that players will think to use more often, but limits players from just spamming heals to force a win!

  • My notes won't always be this detailed, but I do enjoy sharing the design process with you guys!

• Added a hidden mechanic that will improve block defense while there are less blocks on the map.

  • It is 4% reduced block damage when there is less than 90 blocks.

  • This is for interesting reasons - players who don't like building won't need to build as much.

  • Of course, as enemies break your blocks, it will cause there to be less blocks - so this also creates a "last line of defense" mechanic, adding some nice tension to things! And it means that you don't need to count exact blocks for this niche adjustment - since it will naturally go down during a wave anyway.

• Fort Platz now has less base defense, but gains more once it is at 1/3rd HP or lower. It also now has somewhat more defense in Lunatic mode.

  • (final note on design here) This just helps players "feel" like they are in more danger, or are having a better comeback! Plus, 1/3rd is out of the range of the fort defense bonus, which could be the real killer long term!

• The "Clow Legion Emblem" relic now gives +25% HP and +14% Stamina, up from +15% HP and +9% Stamina.

• Paintings are slightly rarer, and sell for more bones.

• Chairs and Tables cost slightly less.

• Added 6 new tips to the main menu.

• Fixed a bug where the game's icon in Windows was blurry.

• Added display of total orders and items served on the end-of-day summary screen.

• Fixed an issue where items would disappear when retrieved from a paper bag while holding another object.

• Resolved character encoding issues affecting Simplified and Traditional Chinese text.

Thanks to all the feedback we received during BIC, we were able to polish Connected Clue even further.

Compared to our first showcase at BIC in 2023, the response this time was even more enthusiastic—making our game one of the most-reviewed titles at the event.
We are deeply grateful for your support, and we’ll continue working hard to create a fun and memorable experience.

QA is now in its final stage, and we’re currently working on English and Japanese translations of the main game.

During this translation period, we’re also preparing various content to keep players engaged and interested.

Meanwhile, development of our next project’s prototype is also underway. Once it’s ready, we’ll share more details.

Updates are ongoing, and patch notes are regularly posted on our Discord channel.
