A short list of changes this week, as most of the new stuff happened under the hood of the game’s engine. Important work, but not really visible in this weeks update!
#residualAdding a furnace to the game, so we can melt stuff and burn stuff.. not giving away any spoilers here obviously, but it’s a required device! On top of that, there’s now a sweet “patch your ship” mission you can complete once you get all the required resources that is!
#residualA week full of tiny tasks, the result is a million star names, a BBQ party and a more detailed intro animation.
#residualCleaning up code, and finding accidentally-disabled entities.. that and the introduction of datacards containing messages from the past! I’d say a pretty good update!
#residualBuilding out the ancient technology, giving it more purpose, interaction, and giving all the creatures even more behaviours like eating YOUR fruit! This weeks been a fun week!
#residualA sweet character select screen is introduced, alongside a whole new interface setup for the printer device in your crashed ship. To top it all off, a bunch of fixes and tweaks and a slight bump in resolution – don’t worry, it’s still pixelart !
#residualImprovements to the life-forms in the game, and a whole new selectable character is brought to life for some nice player variation. On top of that a bunch of tiny fixes, and improvements, as with every weekly update!
#residualThe start of a new system for the game: procedurally generated life-forms / creatures.. it’s an interesting first attempt, let’s see what this will grow into in the coming weeks!
#residualA fairly small update, as I struggle with a new operating system and key combinations to learn. We do have new planet graphics !
#residualBig mommy Arachnid shows up in the game world, alongside a bunch of new devices to create and use!
#residualReplacing the darker tones in the interface with more bright tones.. and building a proper mission/tutorial system
#residualA new and improved visor is added, more creatures to fill up the planet, and let’s talk about that Kickstarter campaign!
#residualSpace Grunts is the next game to get improved gamepad support on PC. So grab the game, grab your controller, and start your quest!
#spacegruntsNew life forms added, a cool way to crashland on a planet like a pro, and a long list of fixes and improvements in this weeks update!
#residualResidual now has a demo and is on Kickstarter! It also comes with a completely new planet added to the procedural rotation this week.
#residualA standard Orangepixel Games creature gets it’s first appearance in Residual, and the whole mining code and usability get’s a front-row seat as part of gameplay.
#residualLet’s add some teleportation to the game, and improve the whole gameplay flow for players who have no clue what they are getting themselves into! – aka : tutorial stuff.
#residualFinally added Portrait mode support to the game on mobile devices.. it’s been a big undertaking to get all the interface screens correct, but it’s here!
#spacegrunts2A small update this week, as I try to keep the game stable for a “full release” leaving Early Access on Steam soon!
#spacegrunts2A funny and harmless math-bug showed up for the “completed objectives” percentage. And while fixing that, I dove into more areas of the code and fixed a bunch of little bugs all over!
#snakecoreNo new things in this update, but a solid amount of fixes and problem removal. Which is best done without adding new stuff to the mix.. so make sure to update to this build !
#spacegrunts2New level building blocks added, some pretty scenery and I dug myself into the code for some fixes to the most random and extremely rare bugs!
#spacegrunts2A mix and match of different tiny updates done in recent weeks on the different platforms. This update brings all versions together again!
#snakecoreA couple of new rooms added to the blue-door room rotation. And a small change to the layout of the fruit-rooms!
#spacegrunts2A short but still sweet update this week with the addition of three new cards, and a small modification to an existing card
#spacegrunts2Brush up your codex skills, because you might find yourself hunting a certain species, to gain the exit-door key! Pesky aliens!
#spacegrunts2A new random event is added to the game, and a new alternate route can be found called the Crawlspace, which will hide the rare Card Printer card!
#spacegrunts2We finally found some friendly faces around the space station in the shape of helpful NPC’s.. Go find them, as they might literally have the key to your progress ;)
