Getting closer to exiting Early Access!!!
Hey everyone! coolnames comin' at ya with a pretty big content update!
Thank you all for your support during the dev process!
New Card Back styles to unlock!
New 3D menus!
Auto Play!!!
Vidya Poker can now play itself!
Clicking the 'AUTO' button or pressing 'A' on the keyboard will toggle Auto Play!
Interacting with the cards or the Deal button will exit Auto Play.
Auto Play logic is as follows:
- Deal a new hand!
- If dealt winning hand, hold winning cards. Otherwise, hold specific cards for best chance of rewards.
- Draw replacement cards!
- Celebrate winnings! (timed)
- Repeat!
Card selection rules if dealt a non-winning hand are as follows:
- 4 to a Royal
- 4 to a Straight Flush
- 3 to a Royal
- 4 to a Flush
- Pair (other than Jacks or Better)
- 4 to a Straight
- 2 suited Face Cards (Ace, King, Queen, Jack)
- 3 to a Straight Flush
- 2 Face Cards
- 1 Face Cards
- WIPE
Automatically have Steam take screenshots!
When turned on, this feature will capture a screenshot at the end of a winning hand at a x7 (or greater) multiplier or a hand score above Full House. Perfect for when using Auto Play!
News & Patch notes viewable in-game!
I think only one last big update is left while still in Early Access. Here are the main features planned to be implemented:
- New locations to unlock and play in: mountains, ocean+ island, forest, etc!
- Graphics quality / performance options!
- Multi-language support! Let me know which should be a priority!
