Weekly Nubby News #7 (News about V1.4)

1. Juni

Greetings Nublings,

Welcome to Weekly Nubby News #7 and happy pride month!

In this edition of WNN, I'm going to be briefly discussing my current progress and works in progress, and then setting some expectations for the next major update to nubby... V1.4!!!

Update on V1.3.2 (upcoming patch):
==========

In the development of nubby, V1.3.2 is my current focus. This is the last big patch before V1.4 and it will introduce an autosave / load system. This has proven to be a bit of an obstacle because it involves reworking a lot of code to make this system fit. However, I'm looking forward to finishing this addition because it's a big quality of life improvement. It's a bit difficult to give an exact time estimate on when this will be finished, but I'm hoping to have this patch released around June 12th. That is tentative and subject to change because technical difficulties are likely.

Regardless, it will be nice to be able to start up a game of nubby, save your game, then load back into it the next day when you're bored. Cheers to progress!

Update on nubby mobile:
==========

For those curious about the progress of the mobile port for NNF - things are still trucking along and progress is being made. It isn't near completion yet, but I'm feeling confident about our work pacing and I'm very excited to share this with you all. One day you can bring nubby along with you in your pocket! Pocket nubby!

Discussing V1.4:
==========

Now for the exciting news on V1.4!

I've talked a bit about V1.4 in previous editions of WNN, but I was leaving things vague and my time estimates were quite off. This is going to be a big update and add a lot of things. Before I talk about a release date for V1.4, I want to discuss what you can look forward to!

In V1.4 you can expect:
---
-A cosmetics menu with unlockable nubby skins and peg skins, most cosmetic nubby skins were made by the community way back in the demo days! This menu will be accessible through the title screen. The cosmetics menu will be managed by a very fashionable new character, "Lady La Mode"! (See gif below)

-A "warehouse" menu that is akin to a "bestiary" or encyclopedia of sorts. This menu will display info about items/perks/mechanics and talk about the lore of the number factory (items, characters, nubby, etc.), just for fun! The warehouse will be accessible through the title screen and also introduce a new character, "Sparkplug"! (again, see gif below).

-An ultimate challenge mode (haven't come up with a name yet) that can be accessed after beating all challenges. This game mode will have 10 levels of increasing difficulty. New content will be added in each level that makes the game more difficult. Completing this game mode will be a tough challenge and require an understanding of the game's mechanics to succeed.

-Steam achievements will be added. I'm hoping to add around 12-15 achievements.

-1 new supervisor, "Dwarf Tony". (from the winner of supervisor design contest in march(?)).

-Probably a couple new items and perks.

---

As for a release date on V1.4, I want to have this done sometime in July. I'm not going to give a specific date for this because it's a lot of new content and its hard to give an estimate when I'm working at this scale.

After V1.4 is released, localization efforts will begin and hopefully many languages will be implemented in the following weeks, credits to the wonderful people who have volunteered to make that possible. To those who will be helping with localization, thank you for your patience.

In the weeks leading up to V1.4, I will continue to make WNN posts and share my progress on V1.4.

Thanks for reading, and happy pride month!
==========

For this week's conclusion...

Happy pride month! I'm really happy to be a part of such a diverse community and I wanted to give a shoutout to the LGBTQ+ nublings out there. We're very happy to have you along for the ride!

Credits to the wonderful artist, sir.podzol, for the pride art!

Thanks for reading,

A discussion on Tonys and challenges

One thing that is backwards to me about the system, is that challenges are difficult, and the reward for them is new tonys. But you use the tonys on normal mode, which is easier than the challenges where, having a better tony would really help. maybe its just me who thinks that system is weird. Though maybe not. Some of the tonys seem to make the game harder or just not be helpful. So maybe the point isn't to make things strictly easier. Also I'd like a new tony or two that do something fun....

Bi-Weekly Nubby News #6

25. Mai

Greetings nublings,

Welcome to Weekly Nubby News #6!

Though, for the time being - this is going to become bi-weekly nubby news. There isn't enough new news to make weekly news posts without it being redundant.

With that out of the way, I'm excited to share some patch news with you all! I'm going to cut right to it and start with discussing some changes to the aforementioned short-term patch schedule.

Changes to the update schedule:
==========

So, with the patch that released on May 16 (V.1.3.1), there were a few bugs introduced and I want to get those fixed up as soon as possible. I've spent the last week fixing bugs and general gameplay issues. This is why I'm going to sneak in a hotfix before V1.3.2 (the patch that will introduce autosave / load features).

The hotfix (V1.3.1.5) will be released tomorrow.

Additionally, I updated the game engine I use to a more recent version that has more features. Unfortunately, doing this also caused many issues and bugs with some old version features getting reworked and made obsolete. Though it was quite frustrating, I've gotten nubby into a stable state and it's pretty much good to go for the hotfix.

After the hotfix is out, I'm going to be working on V1.3.2, which will only add autosaving as a feature. Once V1.3.2 is out, I'm going to start crackin' away at V1.4 (a big update, more info on this big ol' boy will come in the next few weeks. Get hyped for that one!)

What to expect for hotfix V1.3.1.5:
==========

This hotfix isn't going to be huge, but it will fix some annoying bugs that have been bothering me for a while. This hotfix will not fix every bug in the game. Note that this update will be 98% bug fixes, 1% item/perk rebalances, and 1% additions to the game. As always I will be releasing patch notes along with the update tomorrow.

There will be 1 new food item that is exclusive to balogna tony.

Conclusion:/b]
==========

Thank you for your continued support in my creative endeavors! I'm still developing nubby and I'm happy to improve the game and make it the best it can be. Thanks for reading, I'll be back with some exciting info on V1.4 in 2 weeks.

Your reward for reading this whole thing: (This is what nubby used to look like, long ago)

Extremely frustrating ball bouncing physics

I pirated the game for anyone that thinks I'm trolling, I'm being honest outright so you can ignore this for that reason. Wanted to try the game and while I like the rouguelike aspect of it, the one thing that's making not want to play the game is the ball bouncing physics. It feels so RANDOM, one ball throw it will stop dead in it's tracks and bounce multiple times in the same spot and will even bounce from peg to peg multiple times for a satisfying finish. Other throws it will launch itself PERFECTLY to ...
