Hi.
First update
So the first update is a big one. It will add new content, it will fix bugs and it will improve a lot of things by quality of life changes. At the bottom you can find a small list of what is waiting to be rolled out! There is also a little part about an extra feature that I will be releasing this update as well to compensate for the long waiting time. Overall the update is meant to improve the overall user experience.
Why delayed?
Unfortunately my laptop has died. It is the only device I have with a ray tracing capable card. My computer has an older graphics card. This means that I am unable to create a game build that supports ray tracing from my computer. One might say that I can upload the ray tracing version later on, but that would defeat the purpose of "RTX" in RTX Sweeper, hence why I choose to delay it instead.
According to the spokesperson it can take up to 3 weeks for the repairs, which might or might not include shipping... she was very uncertain about it. Either way, shipping won't make the waiting time that much longer.
What can you expect?
So I already have a ton of new things ready and waiting to be released. However since I gained 3 weeks of extra time before the release, I might as well add a little nifty extra to it. I should be able to finish it in the given time, since most of the underlaying architecture has been there since pretty much day 1. Either way here are a few small lists with what you can expect:
- the game can now be played in full screen again (with ray tracing as well)
- added achievements
- added leaderboards
- skippable cutscenesssss
- eliminated almost all chances of getting stuck on 50/50s
- and much much muuuch more!
New thingy?
So yeah... I added a new environment. Well not exactly an entire new environment like Asia and all that, but it is a new level that you unlock after beating the boss at least once. So why after the boss battle and not before? Because I will be upping the difficulty. This has a singular puzzle (for now) and this will introduce 3D sweeper. Solving puzzles in not only the x and z dimensions but also the y dimension. Normally the max amount of bombs a tile could get was 8, not it is 26... theoretically speaking. More on that when the update lands! Currently it is a work in progress. So stayyy tunedddd.
Lastly but not least, the update will be released around the last week of may.
Good luck with the puzzles and until then!
