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...

Unity Game Developer

Been a long time since I've blogged...life tends to do this thing of getting in the way, haha. Anyways, I've been recently taking a Unity game developer class . Here are some GIFs of what I've been learning-- Day 1 - Learning to move a ball with arrow keys Day 2 - Using sprites and learning about physics Day 3 - Flappy Bird clone complete! Day 4 - Learning how to make a top down space shooter Day 5 - Adding meteors Day 6 - Using mouse to turn Day 7 - Shooting nukes and adding menus Day 8 - 3D Terrain building and character controllers Day 9 - Playing with built-in 3D models Day 10 - Learning about animations and 3D physics Day 11 - Starting my final project (4orner 3D) On a side note, if you notice, that last GIF is a 3D version of my hit  game from 2 years ago-- 4orner !

Making a Board Game

Wanted to update my blog with what I've been up to recently. I made a board game and have been working on that full time for the past 3 or so months. The name is still WIP but it's tentatively set as "Our Modern Lives." It's a tile/card based map-building game. The goal is to achieve "Success" and "Happiness" before anyone else can by building your own route. Here are a few pictures of the current build (v1.20 Beta): On a side note, follow me on Instagram for more (semi-frequent) updates!
