Building Joy is Complete!
🕑 Added 2022-02-23 19:40:26 +0000 UTCHello everyone! Many of you have moved on from our patreon, as you may have understood our difficult start and circumstances. We never stopped making this game, however. Those of you who are still here are much appreciated.
We've put up a new build that has a ton of improvements and upgrades over the last one. Here's a quick summary:
- Added a timer: The timer starts at 1 minute. Each wrong click (in the scene or on the wrong object) deducts 5 seconds from the timer, but when the player finds one of the hidden objects, he/she is credited 15 extra seconds.
- Objective banner: The banner is displayed (in a slightly reduced size), but becomes invisible when mouse pointer moves over it. In addition, a small message indicates that certain objects may be hidden behind the banner, and some levels guide the player to this possibility. Finally, all levels in easy difficulty (and few in medium) no longer have objects hidden behind the banner.
- Fade/Scatter objects: Objects are much more spread out in all levels. There are still two levels where some objects are grouped together, but this is intentional. For example, needles in the forest scene, on medium difficulty, are used to guide the player to look behind the objective banner. In medium and hard difficulty, a few objects are hidden behind the scenery.
- House level: Improve lightning (post processing method).
- Objects overlapped: Fixed Layer and hit box for some objects.
- Intro dialog: Stop voice audio when skipping dialog. Does not auto skip when the voices/audio are not finished.
- Objectives: Added more objects to find in the house level (easy and hard difficulty).
- Challenge: Reduce bonus time (from 15 sec to 10).
- Graphics: Add Anti-aliasing (FXAA boost).
- Pointer: Slight reduction in the size of the pointer.
- Hint circle: Made it more visible and improved the effect.
We also added a bunch of more levels! Patrons, please let us know what you think of the latest build. We may update the game if bugs are discovered, but it can now be considered effectively complete!
As always, patrons of $5 or above get a copy of the game along with their membership.
