softened the grass textures mipmaps in the first level. this stops the anti aliasing and upscaling from having to work as hard, which reduces noise, artifacts, and softness. ( yes, softening textures can make it look sharper and less noisy when upscaling and using temporal anti-aliasing )

added specular reflection to the grass. ( i forgot i set it to 0 awhile ago, so... oopsy )

optimised the mesh of light switches ( the curve had 4 unnecessary triangles )

gave more detail to the first levels landscape so its less boring, and its easier for me to effectively plan out the gameplay.

put the first levels sun and sky in a blueprint instead of persistent level so it is easier to change them. for players, this will be a CPU optimisation, because there's no longer code that checks a certain variable every 4 secs to decide whether the sun and sky should change. it just checks once-twice, when you first spawn into the level, and if you complete a certain objective.

Our next FREE major update for Cult of the Lamb, is available August 12th, 2024!


Summoned by blood and born in corruption, a wicked new ally can join the holy Lamb in LOCAL CO-OP! Crusade through dungeons, slay heretics, build your cult, and seek new powers together... But that's not all!

If you find yourself alone in this vast, dark plane of existence - fear not. There is much, much more in this update for you too 😘

We will share more soon. We haven't revealed everything just yet.

🙏THE 🐑.🙏 THE 🐐.

Fishlets is participating in the World Ocean Day Steam sale that is running from June 8th - 15th. A portion of proceeds from game copies sold during this event will be donated to charity. Consider gifting Fishlets to a family member or friend while helping to benefit the oceans. As an added bonus and to bring more awareness to this sale and conservation efforts, we are also releasing a free DLC!


The FREE Ocean Conservation 2024 DLC is here! Add three endangered marine fish and one endangered marine critter to your saltwater tanks. Additionally, this pack comes with a Great Barrier Reef tank background and Great Barrier Reef sand substrate to decorate your reef tanks with! Collect every color variant for the tiny Red Handfish, the cute Chinese Pufferfish, the majestic Giant Manta Ray, and... the slow-moving but cool Sunflower Sea Star! These creatures have a high upfront cost but also have high earnings once placed in your tanks.


This patch introduces many changes and fixes to Adventure mode, with a big focus on the Lake level. Many players have shared feedback that the Bacteria enemies can be too difficult to overcome. Additionally, there was no reason to purchase more than one pet/critter (Clam) in this level. When it comes to Adventure levels, my intention is to provide players with a bit of challenge and sense of accomplishment when completing the levels, however the levels should definitely not be overly difficult or rage-inducing. Read the patch notes below and let me know what you think of the improvements! Keep in mind, there are more changes and additions planned. This is just the first round!

Please let me know if you experience any issues or bugs with this latest patch.

• Ocean Conservation 2024 Pack added
  
• Added support for taking Steam screenshots in-game, now you can take photos of your pretty tank designs and share them! (shoutout to Sbeve in Discussions for mentioning this)
  
• Adventure stage upgrade costs have been reduced:
  
  • ($5k, $15k, $25k > $5k, $10k, $15k)
• Enemy spawn timers have been tweaked as a result of reduced tank upgrade costs:
  
  • stages 1: 3 mins > 3 mins
    
  • stages 2: 5 mins > 4.5 mins
    
  • stages 3: 7 mins > 6 mins
• Upgraded food now fills a fish's hunger meter more, so they stay full for longer
  
• Alert text now displays 15 seconds before enemies attack
  
• Lake level Bacteria enemies will now take damage while cloning, resulting in less clones being spawned overall
  
• Bacteria clones now have a different hue to differentiate them from the original Bacteria
  
• Bacteria clones start off in a brief growth stage when spawned. While growing, their health is very low and they can be destroyed in one click. If they reach max size, they receive half of an original Bacteria's health
  
• Bacteria clones cannot create clones of their own
  
• Clams in Adventure mode now have a much longer cooldown period after distracting enemies. While inactive, "Resting" text will be displayed under the clam
  
• Clams have been given a subtle filtering animation. The animation will not play while a clam is resting
  
• Fish who take damage from an enemy will briefly and quickly swim away from the enemy
  
• Shops have had some additional buttons added and restructuring done to include new DLC content
  
• Fishpedia has had some additional buttons added and restructuring done to include new DLC content
  
• Blue Marlins have had their max speed increased, this means sometimes they will get the zoomies
  
• Changed the thought texts for the various secret fish
  
• Critters can now be sold with the sell key when selected (default DEL)

• Fixed a bug introduced from previous patch that caused Corydoras to be stuck at the bottom of the tank and unable to travel for food
  
• Fixed a bug with Redfin Wrasse glass variant showing as a glass Neon Tetra
  
• Removed the informational text from clams in Adventure mode as this is meant only for Idle mode
  
• Fixed Albino Zebra Pleco's variant text showing "Toxin" instead of "Albino" in its UI
  
• Fixed a bug with Toxic Algae Clouds instantly killing fish. Fish now take damage over time while in a Toxic Cloud
  
• Other miscellaneous bug fixes

Hi all!

My next game, Elevator Warp, now has it's demo available for you all to try.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2803900/Elevator_Warp/

Elevator Warp is a puzzle and exploration game, centered around an elevator that can take you to all sorts of places. A hotel, dungeon, hedge maze, train, and many other unexpected locations.


You must travel from floor 1 to 6, working out if each floor is valid or not.
If a floor is not valid, you must press the emergency button and don't continue up, or you have to start all over again!

How do you know if a floor is valid?
If the elevator says you should be on a certain floor number, say floor 3, then any indication that you are actually on a floor of a different number is invalid!
A floor will have numerical clues, and you must find and check each one before moving on to the next floor.
These clues could be a written number on the wall or the number of objects in a pile, but they aren't always so simple.


Try and try again to reach floor 6, exploring and learning about each floors clues, in order to get the perfect run!
Each run is random, with roughly 30 possible floors to arrive at.
The demo contains 10 of them.

​​​​​​​You can read the full post here!

We understand that there is still some confusion about how to obtain the Pyromane. To help, we have put together a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to assist you in purchasing ARK Fantastic Tames: Pyromane.

1. Click the Store Link
   
2. Complete the Purchase: Follow the payment instructions to buy ARK Fantastic Tames: Pyromane.
   
3. No Download or Installation needed
   
4. Launch ARK Survival Ascended
   
5. Find and Tame Pyromane

We are currently working on a major update for The Center, which includes numerous fixes for visual issues, polish, level design, and bugs, such as an issue with Pyromane Breeding on servers, the inability to build in some spots around the map, and the unsupported items issue.

Many of these fixes have been queued up in advance, but due to maintaining cross-platform compatibility and certification requirements, we had to wait to release them. Now that the release is out the door, we’ll be working on getting this patch out next week.

“Cannot Download. 3 Unsupported Items.” - If you're experiencing this issue, we have a quick workaround available until the patch is released:

1. Download your character from the cloud onto an Island
   
2. Transfer your character directly to The Center server of your choice

Note: This issue can occur when going via the cloud, so make sure you’re doing a direct transfer.

We’ll be monitoring reports for new issues and solving them as they come in! And, as always, we will continue to monitor official server capacity with a view to adding new servers if needed.
Thanks again for all your support. We hope you enjoy the new content!
