4orner Changelog v1.01 - More Multipliers

Now that my #30daydeveloper challenge is over, what's next for me? I am not quite sure but I am incredibly overjoyed at the response my game has gotten so far. It's amazing to hear how my little game has made a positive and inspirational impact on total strangers across the internet. What a world we live in.

I strongly believe that a great game developer is one who listens to the community and continuously strives for that perfection--no matter how far away that may be. So it is my duty to keep updating 4orner as feedback is received.

Today's changelog is titled - More Multipliers
  • Added several new multiplier effects
    • "Two-by-two" - get alternating colors in pairs (red, red, blue, blue, green, green, etc.)
    • "Three-by-three" - same as above but in threes
    • "Four-by-four" - same as above but in fours
    • "Half-by-half" - evenly divided half inventory (five of one color, five of another)
  • Half inventory now reduces the total multiplier by half
    • To balance this, all other multipliers are now applied at half inventory instead of requiring a full inventory
      • I felt that the half inventory was getting little to no play. Not to mention once the levels get higher it's really difficult to hold out for full inventories
  • Added new loading gif
    • With four circles (like the game!)
  • An extra ball spawns every five levels, down from every ten levels
  • Reduced ball speed increase per level by half
  • Added a new functional key - enter
    • Press enter to lock the mouse at the location of the player ball
      • May not be the best strategy late game as the ability to "teleport" from place to place requires the mouse to be unlocked
  • Added a new level in the tutorial outlining that getting alternating colors gives bonus points
    • Might be a bit difficult due to how fast balls spawn in the tutorial

On a side note, thank you everyone for your feedback!

Jooble

Yesterday, I received an incredibly friendly email from an anonymous person who claimed to have read my blog and "loved it." Of course, because my blog is public and anybody can comment anonymously, I was a bit skeptical of this email. Yet, seeing as how this was the first ever "fan mail" I've ever received, I read the email. It wasn't fan mail, but it was an email from a person who works for a website called " Jooble ." Interested by his genuineness and heartfelt compliments of my blog, I took a quick glance at the website. Here's what he had to say about Jooble: Jooble operates in 45+ countries, so if you would like to find a job in other locations you may try to search jobs in: Argentina , Australia , Austria , Belgium , Belarus , Brazil , Canada , Chile , China Colombia , Czech Republic , Denmark , Spain , Finland , France , Germany , Greece , Hong Kong , Hungary , Italy , India , Indonesia , Ireland , Japan , Kazakhstan , Mexi...

Connect With Me

This is a story about two best friends. They were the grow up like brothers kind of best friends. The chase girls together kind. The never rat the other out kind. The always true to each other thick and thin kind. You know what I mean. They were inseparable. One was named Adam, the other Bill. Adam was an artist. He loved all forms of art--film, paint, photo, everything. If it was created or captured, chances are, he's seen it. He kept a journal of his thoughts and mostly kept to himself--and, of course, Bill. He was what you might call a shy guy. Following his passions, he went to art school and graduated with an excellent education and a renewed passion for his art. Bill was a business man. He loved money, making deals, and shaking hands. If it was profitable or had even the slimmest chance of making money, chances are, he's done it. He rarely stays still and is constantly out and about. At the local bar, the club, restaurant, wherever the new hot spot was. He was what yo...

Hangeul or Hangul

Here's the link for the Wikipedia entry for "Hangeul." Now here's the link for the Wikipedia entry for "Hangul" (Without the "e") Notice anything similar? Of course you do, they both point to the same entry! Now why is that? It's because there is no real set romanization of the Korean language. Or at least one that is universally accepted in South Korea. Why does this matter? Korean is a language with an alphabet, there shouldn't be a need for romanization right? Just learn some 한글 and be done with that! To hell with the Latin script! But that's really not good for foreigners. Are you Korean? Can you read 한글? If not, then those two characters mean nothing to you. Only if I tell you that those two characters are read like "hangeul" or "hangul" can you begin to pronounce the word. Romanization is an essential step for foreigners in learning a foreign language. Take two examples, the Chinese pinyin , and the ...
