Attention Creators! Get ready to dive into a game-changing update that's set to revolutionize your streaming experience with our latest and greatest chat trigger enhancements!
Major Chat Trigger Overhaul!
We've transformed the old triggers into the all-new Chat Triggers! Now equipped with a sleek Advanced Feature Toggle, this update is your key to unlocking a universe of possibilities for interactive chat engagement in your streams.
Viewer Interactions
Setting the target goal allows you to put a threshold on the number of commands needed before the trigger fires. If the target goal is 3, then three commands need to come in before the trigger fires.
If Allow Multiple Interactions is disabled, then only one command per viewer will be counted, which means 3 different viewers would have to send the command.
Goal Time Limit
Setting a goal time limit will set a time limit before the trigger resets. This means that number of commands sent has to reach that target before it fires off. If the goal is not reached before the timer expires, then everything resets.
The Wait For Timer to Finish will prevent the trigger from firing until timer runs out. By default, the trigger fires as soon as the goal is met.
Limit Goal repetition
Setting this limit will disable the trigger once the goal is met, preventing anyone else from using it. This can be useful to limit special interactions to a single or small number of uses.
Cooldown
The cool down can be used to help space out interactions or prevent spam interactions.
Change List
Unleashed advanced chat commands for unparalleled control.
Eliminated the pesky text display bug.
Resolved the duplicate button issue for camera-to-display attachment.
Numerous UI enhancements for a sleeker, more intuitive experience.
🎄 Embrace the spirit of creation and joy this holiday season with these fantastic new features! Keep creating, keep streaming, and most importantly, keep inspiring!
Ludde wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! To celebrate this, Ludde now can wear a Santa hat and ignite fireworks. Unlike other dogs, the bangs don't scare him.
Other than that, I've watched like 30 hours of Ludde gameplay on Youtube and Twitch during the week, which has given me great insights into what needs to be improved. Thanks to AchievementHuntersAnon, ToughGamingGuy, EmotionalSupportOtter, and others!
- Added indicators to make it clearer what you are supposed to do in hockey, mogul skiing, biathlon, and the boss fight - Made it clearer what to do in the laser glass house, and don't trigger the alarm as easily e.g. when standing on windows - Added another way to get into the closed small fort - Ludde now can pick up snowballs, even if he's standing close to the sacks in the target practice minigame - Fixed minor dungeon graphical issues (Steam Deck) - Smoothed the terrain in the slide conditions minigame - A few bug fixes - Lots of other minor improvements
We're thrilled to share that the full version of the game is now complete. Originally, we planned a Holiday release, but wisdom prevailed. Competing during the winter Xmas Steam sales can be challenging, so we've decided to wait for a more favorable release date in January. In the meantime, we're updating the current version to the final one, allowing those who've pre-purchased the full-access version to get an early taste and the opportunity to get ahead in the game. Your support means the world to us, and it fuels our dedication to providing the best gaming experience.
Best Regards,
Pepe Moreno & the Team

This is not the next update as planned; it's a massive over haul of the assets.
While looking into optimizations to get the frame rate hammered out even more, it became apparent I had saved ... A lot... Of the Sprites and textures I made at 300 DPI; an old habit from back when we used to print pictures on paper. This game development thing all began as an experiment in if my style and animation could translate into 3d at all; and I think I planned on reducing the DPI later, or assumed the GZDOOM engine forced image files into 72 DPI, but it does not. So. I went through everything, reduced everything to 72 dpi, some textures were 700+ DPI for some insane reason, don't ask me, I have no idea why. Ask someone else. People on lower end machines should see a much smoother game play experience and improved frame rate. There will still be some hiccups, as A Fool's Art Gallery uses a lot more textures than a typical game, each picture being a unique texture, so getting all that info through the pipeline is it's own little thing to be constantly working on. By reducing the DPI of sprites and textures about 30 megs of raw data was trimmed from the over all file package, and freed up from the video RAM.
It also adds brightmaps and Titles, bringing a bit of bang to different areas, and sees some incorrect textures corrected. The Titles are small areas of light in front of mostly the paintings, which print the title of the picture at the top corner of the screen. I am still working out how to get this to behave properly but for now it does the job pretty good, if not a bit over enthusiastically.
Along the way I found a couple images that some how were missed during the construction phase, their title cards are in game, but the images are not; they are in the next update which is the planned update.
It’s the holiday season, which means the festive atmosphere is back! Put on the Santa hat, fill your backpack with gifts and head into the dungeons on a winter adventure!

It has no incompatibilities.
