Dude I thought you were dead! I thought the game was dead! Where did you come from?
- I'm not dead, I'm just old and grumpy and burnt out by capitalism. Same as you, same as everybody else
- Vecter is not dead, it just needed some bug fixes and some cleaning. I went in and sorted some stuff out and it should work better. If it doesn't leave a comment or a review or something and I'll look at it if I have time.
But to be honest a big motivator was seeing this:
Which felt good. Followed by this:
Which felt bad. And I don't like feeling bad, which is probably what these people felt when they tried to play the game, and that sucked. So I did a:
And now hopefully things are better. At least they seem to be better from my testing.
I also made a Mac version of it. These days I own a Mac as my main computer so since I was doing that might as well make it for Mac OS too. I have to say it's become a lot easier to make things cross-platform since 2020 when Vecter came out.
People in the comments kindly pointed out that the leaderboards needed a scrub since there were entries on there that were clearly fake. Then again what do I know maybe getting 600 million score with only 119 minutes in-game is perfectly achievable when you're the owner of a time-machine.
So I spent some time to review scores & accounts of the top positions and purged BS entries until I got to more realistic-looking numbers. Hope it makes life a little better. Oh and if anyone knows how to prevent people from making fake entries on a programatic level LMK as I hate this sort of stuff.
Then again... imagine how empty your life has to be in order to actually spend your time injecting a fake score into a free videogame? Dang... Now I kinda feel sorry for them...
Anyway what was I doing? Oh yeah...
Here's a change log of what's in 1.4 (Technically this is 1.4.0.1)
- Mac OS Version so now Mac user can play too.
- Fixed crash / freeze of game that would happen every time you'd finish a run.
- Fixed occasional crash / freeze of game when trying to exit the game
- Upgraded the game engine to the latest version of unity (6.1.0) to improve compatibility with newer hardware
- Rewrote how the game communicates with steam leaderboards to improve performance and reliability
- Purged the main three leaderboards of top scores until I got to scores that looked more realistic for the time spent in-game.
I don't promise to make any future updates. I might, I might not, IDK life's complicated but at least it's playable right now as far as I can tell.
If there are any new / further issues LMK through a comment on here or a review or something and who knows, it might get fixed in the next two years lol.
