Original postLately I've been considering how to add controller support to Foxcrate. Menu navigation would be an easy task, and the delivery screen can simply have a different button assigned to each of the available choices. The difficulty is figuring out what to do about:
- The truck screen
- The map screen
I believe it should be reasonably possible on the truck screen to select what position you're interacting with using a controller. It is a 9x9x9 grid, and you can normally only interact with the top of any vertical stack, so it could just be reduced down to a 9x9 grid, automatically selecting whatever's on top of that stack.
The map screen is where I could use some opinions. There really isn't a smooth way to select a point, and certainly not as fast as using a mouse. This could cause the player to burn extra time that they wouldn't have lost otherwise, which in turn affects the game balance.
Right now, I feel like the best option is to simply move a marker around, which starts at the truck's current position and automatically highlights nearby delivery locations (or the nearest, if there are a few of them). The tricky part is how fast to move the marker and how sensitive to make the highlight range, and it is still time-consuming to select a point on the opposite side of the map.
That said, I'm open to suggestions on this. How would you implement a map select in a game like this where every second counts?

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a bug that was causing the currently cleared difficulty level of a character to be added to the played difficulty, making it much easier than intended to clear difficulty levels

Original postAs of version 1.9, the game is now both easier and harder!
On normal playthroughs, prior versions added 0:40 to the timer each day (and when selecting "More Packages" or "Incoming Pickups"), but this has now been raised to 0:45. While this doesn't seem like a major change, by the final day it means an extra 0:30 total, which should make the game easier to complete.
On the flipside, once you have beaten the game with a character, you now unlock extra difficulty runs with that character:
The run basically starts with one or more of the options on the right already applied. It also keeps track of the highest difficulty you've beaten with each character (i.e., the number of options checked). Try different mixes and see how you do!

Original postNow that all(?) the bugs have finally been shaken out of 1.7, we're looking ahead to the development of the game's Story Mode. The plan is to have plenty of dialogue between the characters, and daily manifests that you can select from for the delivery segments. We have not yet determined if there will be walk-around areas, but it is being considered. More details as development continues.
In the meantime, if you haven't yet reviewed the game, please consider doing so! Every review helps us out greatly and assists us in shaping the game for the better. We appreciate each and every review and feeback given. Thank you!

Original postBug Fixes:
- Fixed being able to select incoming packages from the start-of-day screen by clicking on houses directly, and putting them on the truck before the day even begins
- Fixed being able to select packages by clicking on houses during the delivery phase (the only time clicking on houses should do anything is during the initial start-of-day loading; it will still highlight the house when hovering over a package to show you which house it belongs to).
- Fixed other types of stickers being applied to incoming packages, which should not be possible

Original postAlthough it was a little rocky at first (I discovered two major bugs just after updating), Foxcrate now has its 1.5 update, which finally includes new extras to take for each day:
- Heavy Lifting -- For some packages, you walk at half speed while carrying them
- Chatty -- Customers have a chance to delay you for 2 to 4 seconds after handing them a package
- Confirm Drop -- Porch drops, which are normally instant, take 1.5 seconds as you take a confirmation photo from your phone
- Memorized -- The map no longer checks or crosses out completed houses, and will also not show any sticker reminders
- Refuel -- You must visit the Gas Station once during the middle third of the day (instant loss if you do not)
In addition, there are 8 more achievements, relating to the above daily extras.
Looking ahead, I am still considering a story mode, although this will take a lot of work (and a lot of art). For now, I've still got more daily extras planned, as well as two more playable characters.
But as always, I'm looking for more feedback on what to improve. I've already made some changes based on feedback I received, so if you have any suggestions, please feel free to reply here, or post them in the community board. Thanks!
