Dear Furballs,
Every week, I'll post a Weekly update to let you know what is going on in the colorful world of VR Furballs. This is the episode 2 :)
SPREAD THE WORD
Already more than 200 people are playing VR Furballs - Demolition. Surprisingly, according to the Leaderboards, only 2 players finished the game and played the last Mini-game called Balloon Fest. Is it too hard? Is it too long? :)
Our next goal is to reach the 10 Steam reviews threshold, which will turn the reviews into a score. So if you read this and if you enjoyed the game, please take a few minutes to write a review. Thanks in advance :)
New videos and articles are popping slowly. And the best part is that most of them are very positive. Here is the list of last week coverage:
- YouTube walkthrough videos by Lionxv
- YouTube video by The Hidden Object Guru
- Twitch live stream by Nearly Fatal and BlondeFoxx
- YouTube video by VoodooDE
- Game review by The Dave: 8.3/10
- YouTube video by PhilanthroPwn
Thanks a lot to all the writers, youtubers and twitchers who tried the game and talked about it. Big thanks to everyone who already wrote a Steam review. Once again, every article, video, review, comment, like, share will help us immensely.
GAME UPDATE
This week I spent most of the dev time working on the game localization. It's always a tricky aspect of game development. And that is why I decided to use pictures for the Tutorials instead of texts.
- New: Added World 1 - Level 7.
- New: Select the in-game language in the Language tab of the Properties of VR Furballs - Demolition on Steam.
- New: Added French language.
- New: Added Simplified Chinese language.
- New: Added alarm system to prevent players to throw or hit Furballs from outside the allowed perimeter when playing a Level or a Mini-game.
- Improvement: Increased damage made by Bomby and TNT (so they have more chance to kill the strong Baddies wearing hats).
- Bugfix: Fixed usage of the Slingshot being misinterpreted as the Motion Controller when you held the Slingshot outside the perimeter while shooting.
- Bugfix: Support for more special characters in the Leaderboard panels.
I also recorded myself building the World 1 - Level 7 to explain the tips and tricks of the Level Editor. The video is a bit long, so I detailed everything you should know in the description of the video: CLICK HERE TO WATCH
WHAT'S NEXT
Here is the plan for next week:
Add Japanese language.[DONE]Ask you guys to help us translate the game in all the languages supported by Steam.[DONE]Create a Google Form in which you could quickly fill up translations of the game Steam page and in-game text in your mother tongue.[DONE]Replace Tool towers placed in levels to illustrate what Tools get unlocked in this level by Treasure chests.[DONE]Handle proper Leaderboards tab navigation during the Victory or Defeat sequence.[DONE]- Build more levels!
Don't hesitate to give us feedback about the game, to report bugs, or to give us ideas. VR Furballs was created for you, so we'd love to hear what you think about it!
Thanks again to everyone playing VR Furballs - Demolition! See you next week!
