Official FrayTools Plugins now available on GitHub

• We're excited to announce that the very same FrayTools plugins we actively use for internal development have been publicly released on GitHub! We sneakily released them a few weeks ago and have already started to continue development from these open-source repositories. In addition to the Fraymakers plugins you'll also be able to find "plugin-core", the FrayTools library that serves as a development kit for creating your own plugins, along with some minimal example code repositories. Check out everything we've released so far below!

• With this change, we've moved the Fraymakers API documentation from its original website over to GitHub to simplify maintenance and provide a better browsing experience. You can explore the new home for the documentation here:

General

Effects

• Light hitspark sprite updated.

Hitspark point lights removed

• We’ve decided to remove this feature from the game for now. Aside from being somewhat underdeveloped, adding additional lights could affect performance on lower end hardware if the feature wasn’t turned off. On top of this, we discovered a bug that resulted in point light calculation not being entirely disabled when generating hitsparks, even if the feature was turned off. With the system disabled, everyone who had the feature turned off may see some modest performance gains based on our testing. The feature may return at some point in the future, but for now it’s on the backburner while we focus on larger priorities.

New error logging feature

• If the game crashes, a new error.log file will be generated alongside the game executable containing crash details. When reporting crashes (ideally via https://fraymakers.com/feedback), please be sure to send us this file to help fix your issue!

Fixes

• Negative hitstun values are now processed correctly as a Float with respect to the documentation.

We’ve reached 1K followers on Steam!! 🥳 💖 When we first announced this game, we weren’t 100% sure of what the reception would be. Flutter Away is quite different to a lot of games on Steam. It’s a slower game, that’s more so about observing the world around you. It’s a short game, with no combat or enemies. Instead the game is all about respectfully interacting with nature, and engaging with it which we were told could be a hard sell. And now look! We can’t believe there are a thousand of you on here who want to keep up with our wee nature exploration game!


To celebrate the occasion, we’d like to do something for the community by giving away 3 free keys for the full game of Flutter Away! These keys will be ready to use on launch (August 3rd 2023) to download a full version of the game for free.


To enter the giveaway, download the Flutter Away demo if you haven’t already, play the game, and comment below what your favorite moment is from the demo!

Winners will be chosen randomly on July 25, 2023!

Please note that this giveaway is running on here and on Twitter, you can enter in both places if you wish!

Best of luck,

🦋 Aditia and the Flutter Away Team

Above is Lucia relaxing after going through the Story for Fangs and Claws. ;) Right now, the majority of it is done. Just got some gallery images to do, check for bugs, and such. It should release next week. ;)

We couldn't have accomplished it without our supportive community and everyone who took an interest in our game. There are some wonderful games out there, so to be among the Top 50 is truly a representation of the excitement you create.

We hope to build upon your feedback and excitement because hot off-the-heels of Next Fest comes our Early Access launch on July 18th! If you played the Open Beta, we hope you enjoy the changes and additions we've added for our Early Access. If you didn't get a chance, we hope you take this opportunity to join our cozy, social survival game. As a small indie studio, every person; every comment; every supporter; every person is a crucial part of our foundation.

So, again: thank you. We hope to see you soon in Tormentosia in the world of Coreborn!

Bleed damage has been slightly changed. You still bleed less while sitting or sleeping and you recover from bleeding faster as well. Bleeding now generally lasts longer and is more drawn out. Consecutive attacks that deal bleed damage will stack and increase the bleed effect and duration.

Bleed damage values have been adjusted for all species that could bleed their prey.

Tyrannosaurus Rex's max damage has decreased from 4,000 to 3,000.

Giganotosaurus' max damage has increased from 3,000 to 4,000.

We have hit an exhilarating milestone for our team at AmazeVR and are thrilled to announce the launch of our groundbreaking VR concert platform:

AmazeVR Concerts

After more than three years of tireless effort and relentless innovation from our dedicated teams in the United States and Korea, we've brought this vision to life. Every line of code, each design, and every decision have converged to this momentous day.

Just as Spotify transformed how people listen to music, AmazeVR will revolutionize how we experience it. Imagine being able to have a personal encounter with your favorite artists through their VR concerts anytime, anywhere.

We're both proud and humbled to have collaborated with an array of amazing artists who have courageously embraced our vision of forging a new paradigm in the music industry. They've unlocked the limitless possibilities that VR technology offers, enabling us to envision a future where we're not just listening to music, but living it.

We're profoundly grateful to our team for their unwavering commitment, to our artists for their trust in our vision, and most importantly, to you, our community, for your support and faith in AmazeVR.

Join us as we embark on this extraordinary journey to redefine the limits of musical experiences.

Let's Amaze the world together.

Hi!

I updated the game with further improvements.

I fixed bugs on Part 3. Thanks to Spartan-117.

I also added more background complexity on how gameplay modifies according to the player's GOOD/EVIL status. You you feel even more changes in gameplay depending on your current character status.

Sincerely,
Bone Collectors.
