One year of Sorting Inc
Time goes by so fast. It has already been a year since the release. It's the first game I made as a solo developer and I'm really happy that it's going so well. It started rather slowly and it took some time for people to discover it but now it even picks up a bit more pace and the community still grows.
I haven't really added new things to the game since then because I felt like I needed to start working on a new project right away but it didn't seem to have impacted the game too negatively. The reviews are very positive and when the biggest complaint is, that people want more to sort than that is a nice problem to have. So I want to thank you all very much for the support!
That all said, I took the opportunity to make a small update that improves a few things, especially the time based achievements that were a bit stressful to get even though Sorting Inc claims to be a cozy game. I also added a form of endless mode which seems like an obvious addition to this type of game... or maybe it gets boring really quick, we will see. Not all levels get the endless mode but the ones that are compatible with resupplying the items indefinitely have got it.
Patch notes
v1.1.0
made some achievements easier to get:
Quick Sorter (the 2 minute limit is now 3 minutes)
Penny Pincher (up to 10 coins can be missed instead of none)
Survivor (the 5 hour requirement is now 3 hours)
made item sliding / flinging more consistent when vsync is active
added an endless mode to most levels:
Endless mode can be played once the story is finished
The levels where it is available will have an "endless symbol" on them
You can toggle the endless mode when selecting the level
Endless mode adds to your sorting scores and counts for unlocking desks and achievements too
What's next?
What's there on the horizon for Sorting Inc? Well, for several reasons it's still a bit difficult for me to add new content to the game as it is right now but that doesn't mean there isn't more stuff planned for the world of Sorting Inc. Stay tuned for more news in the future. In the meantime you may check out the other game on Steam that I worked on if you want.
I will see you next time
