0.7.0 Release! Please test Mac?
I've just uploaded the 0.7.0 build, and it has a bunch of new stuff!
- NEW NAME! The game is now called *Wordy Rain*. Why? *Wordfall* was actually taken already in some areas, so I needed to change it. And I like it better.
- NEW GAME MODE! Cozy Mode: blocks only fall when you choose. The ultimate in laid back playing.
- NEW ART! Added one single background scene! (So far. Coming soon: multiple background scenes!)
- Tweaked the leveling. Let me know what you think!
- Fixed: Bomb Earned graphic positioning fix
- Improved the VFX for power-ups
- Some HUD layout tweaks so that it’s all vertical now.
- Tile Bonus now has a sound effect -- higher tile bonuses are a higher pitched effect. This might get annoying at 4 being the minimum...we will see!
- added a “New Level!” Message and sound
- Added a very simple “How to Play” page in the Start Menu
There's also some new temporary profiling stuff in here that I'm hoping will help me understand what the min specs are for the game. The game will automatically take a 120s snapshot of your game performance and create a text file that will give me performance data and your hardware specs; I would love it if you would please send me this file! You can easily do this by going to my Google form and uploading it through that!
The next release for this game will likely be the 1.0 version on Steam -- I'm currently working on leaderboards, more background scenes that you can select from, another game mode, more powerups, and Steam achievements. In the meantime, I'm hoping I can get some people playing this build and giving me their performance data so I can try and figure out what the minimum system is for this. I didn't exactly build Wordy Rain in the best way; it was originally just a hobby project to make something simple in the engine that I knew best (Unreal), but with 3D background scenes in a 2.5D game, I kinda made it a bit bigger than it needed to be. I'm hoping to slim it down a bit performance-wise.
Happy playing!
