Hello everyone!
Progress with the beta has been amazing, and I've gotten tons of great feedback from those that have tried it! Due to the sheer amount of changes that have been made, however, I've decided it's best to extend the beta just a bit longer. There's still some things on the to-do list that I'd like to ensure are done before pushing the beta to the main branch.
Here are the remaining line items that must be completed before I push the beta live:
- New Item Notifications in Menu: These will be little icons that appear in the menu to help guide the player to their new unlockables. For example, if the player unlocks a new hat, there will be a little icon on the "Gallery" button to help guide the player to the new hat.
- 0.4 Trailer: A trailer must be created to show off the new changes!
- Hard Level Medal Times: Right now most of the hard levels still don't have medal times. This is going to take alot of time to get the best times to use for them.
- Medal Achievements: Some achievements in game need to be reworked to be based on medals obtained rather than flat times. Right now we have achievements that say things such "Complete all levels in First Steps with a sum total time of 8 seconds." This should instead be "Obtain all Gold Medals in First Steps."
Those are the major line items but there are some small tweaks to be made as well. As a reminder, although the content is still not released, it's available for you to try now in the beta branch! Feel free to check it out and leave your feedback!
Thanks for all of the feedback you've all given me so far, I'm so happy to see everyone enjoying the game!
