Viral Complex Playtest - wecybin
This is another test for implementing a 3d lobby-based matchmaking system. Map is like 30-40% (basic groundwork and a few details done) so watchout for a lack of walls in certain areas, you will fall infinitely.

The command center you spawn next to (on the bridge) can be used by hitting 'E' while facing it. Using it will start the auto-matchmaking process and (hopefully) spawn the other players in the match as well.

Lost Legend --- Patch Notes 1.7.8

Hello everyone and welcome to the first official patch notes for Lost Legends! I (Elijah) will be compiling all the changes made to the game (starting with this version) and making patch notes so everyone knows what is updated, changed, or removed from the game as we release updates. This update will focus on some bug fixing and QoL improvements.

-Large Gemstone

General Fixes:

The fast travel system is getting an upgrade. We have decided to give the mailboxes in the game some functionality and we are linking it to the fast travel system. They way it will work is that you can send letters to Captain Wiley in order to change his location. That way, if you are in a city that he is not at yet, you can have him move. Here is what we have so far.

Oh! Fuse Box - garagearts
Hello Gamers,

Officially today, 'Oh! Fuse Box' game has been released!

Celebrating the launch! 10% off.

we 're truly grateful!

Wayward - Drathy
If you are on the development branch, please ensure your important saves and global save data are backed up.

Due to some upstream changes in the platform we use, we need to revert the version we use. Doing so will delete/remove all save data in the game.

By default, your saves and global save data (options, milestones, etc.) are backed up automatically (the last 10 versions), but only if they are newer saves (May 4th, 2021 and newer). If they are older saves, you will need to load and save them to produce the automatic back-ups, or simply export the save(s) you want to keep.

These automatic back-ups are located in the main Wayward folder under "backup". In most cases, these will be all you need to re-import once the change occurs. More information on save importing/exporting and back-ups is available here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2854947692

Archiving/copying the "save" directory in the Wayward folder will not work! Everything will need to be re-imported manually after this change occurs.

Once the change happens, your Wayward game will not load. This is intentional so nobody loses their saves if they have not seen this warning. To fix this, ensure you have everything backed up that you need as written above, open the "launch_options.json" file and edit the "internalVersion" from "2" to "3". After saving, the game will launch normally. If you did not see this warning in time, and you don't have all the backups you need, please reach out. We will help you on a case-by-case basis and will likely need you to send us your entire "save" directory.

To re-iterate, the steps you need to take are the following if you are reading this and are playing on the development branch:

1. Start the game.
2. Load any game you wish to keep. Save and quit that game. Repeat this for all saves.
3. Ensure everything is looking good in the "backups" folder.
4. Play the development branch as normal until the change occurs.
5. Once the change occurs, the game will no longer open. This is when you change the "internalVersion" from "2" to "3" as mentioned above.
6. Start the game and re-import your global save data and any save games as per the guide link above.


UPDATE: The change is now live!

Make the changes in your "launch_options.json" file as described above and re-import your global save data and game saves from your manual or automatic back-ups.

If you are missing anything, please make an entire back-up/archive of your "save" folder before doing anything and reach out to me so we can restore anything missing.

Apologies on all of this!

Let me know if you have any questions!

Welcome, Puzzlers! So we hear that you want to delve even further into the Pocket Dungeon and explore the new Puzzler’s Pack DLC early! To access the Early Preview, you will need to switch to a special Steam Branch to access the content.

Hi everybody, how you doing? Some of you asked me for a DLC wallpapers pack so here you go.
Took a bit more time than expected to assemble all the wallpapers but it worth it.
The wallpapers are in native 4K resolution plus incredible 8K versions enhanced by a neural network.

Also most of them are very "desktop-friendly" - I mean they do not only feature girls but also have some space for app icons.

Please enjoy.

Also, I keep improving PumPum 2 and Poozle Mania and will update them very soon.
Cheers!

Hello everyone!

Easter time is here, so we had a little shorter week this time and we hope all of you are enjoying the holidays if you have some. This week we already released a small bugfix update on Monday to make sure the magnetic field generator is working properly for absolutely everybody.

So now, I wanna reveal a fun little thing we've been making, called pixel buildings:

Inspiration

It's always been great to see players use the signs in their cities for all kinds of purposes. Sometimes they declare districts names, remind players of future plans, or are just plain little funny messages.

Another cool thing we saw is that some "road building artists" on our discord server made some absolutely amazing things. Check out the adamantine icon made out of roads in this city by AronJerda on Discord:




So we thought with relatively little effort it might be possible to give you way better tools besides pre-made decoration.

Pixel Buildings

"Pixel Buildings" are just some buildings that are exactly 1x1 unit wide and come in some different shapes like rectangles, slops, and circles.



You can use them for all manner of purposes. You could make pixel art or just fill up some space. We're just gonna give them to you and see what happens :D

All the colors can be set with the new color picker, implemented by our programmer Sepehr:



Unfortunately, because of some tricky issues, implementing the color picker took longer than expected. We haven't forgot that we want to focus on polishing, fixes, and performance as well this update and will get back to it soon.

On a positive note though, the color picker automatically also works with trains and any future thing that might be editable:



Check out next week's post to hear some more news about balancing!

Until then, happy playing!
