Hey guys and gals! coolnames here!
I have been working hard on the next big update for Vidya Poker for the past weeks, putting all other projects on hold.
🎊🥳🎉 This next patch will be Vidya Poker leaving 'Early Access' on Steam!! 🎉🥳🎊
New stuff that you should like:
- 2 new card styles to unlock and use
- 30 total card back designs to unlock and use
- Ability to change Graphics Quality (very useful for lower spec'd machines)
- 2 new achievements
- Install size reduced even after all the additional content
...and lots of optimizations and some bug fixes! 🦶🐛
One very important change is how Stats and Unlocks are tracked/saved. I have rewritten all the code and moved away from Steam Stat tracking and am now doing the tracking in-game, on the local machine.
What this means is that your current stats, coins, and unlocked toons/skins are going to be reset when the patch hits. 😲
Steam Achievements will NOT be reset.
I could have spent a TON of time writing code to migrate all your data saved on Steam servers to the new system, but I have instead decided to focus on working more on the actual game design and new features!
Vidya Poker Early Access players' current Diamonds will be maintained. All spent Diamonds for unlocks will be refunded to the player. Players can then spend Diamonds on their favorite unlocks right away.
I hope this is an acceptable compromise as I continually add content and optimization!
When the beta is available to test, I will let you guys know!
As always, any feedback you have, please shoot me a comment or whatever!
