Game: Dr. Trolley's Problem
We've been out for a little over a week and thanks to your efforts we've unearthed a lot of bugs and things to modify. The Doctor's been busy!
Fun fact: since release well over 1000 ghosts have spawned in the game. Put another way, that's over 1000 beings no longer hanging out on train tracks.
This update is mostly bug fixes and some tweaking of the game. We want to get rid of as many bugs as possible before adding more situations. Not all bugs will stop more sweet, sweet, content. Tired of hearing only seven possible impact sounds? Now there are more possible impacts for your ears.
Modifications
- Trees now have a special ghost (suggested by Veav)
- The Love situation is now earlier (swapped situations 23 & 32)
- Music volume lowered in the mixer
- Added additional impact sounds (including one for the tree ghosts)
- Situation 50 displays a thanks for playing message
- Players get a few more seconds in situation 07, 22, & 44
- Truck is slower in situation 43
- More Dr. Trolley commentary
Bugs run over by the trolley
- One music track was causing problems, so it has been removed
- Lighting in situation 50 has been improved
- Player audio prefs should be saving properly.
- Fixed a bug that caused the game to think you made a decision if you opened the menu mid situation after making a decision and subsequently opened another situation. No idea why people do this so to solve it the menu now resets the track decision.
- Trolley could travel through blocker in situation 1, that's no longer the case.
- Situation 1 no longer gets broken if you skip the tutorial then try to play the tutorial to return to Situation 1 in order to then keep playing the game. It's as confusing as it sounds. Let's hope it works.
- Rejigged the analytics, stats still not working 100%.
- Fixed some typoos
Still working on the display issue around the menu and screens with high resolution.
Build 0.5.5
