Game Updates

Hello again, everyone! We've got some great news for you and a new update for The Unexpected Quest. Let's start with the first one. We're excited to announce that the game is now available on all platforms! The update will be released on Nintendo Switch on September 26th, and from September 27th it'll be available on the PlayStation Store for PS4 and PS5, as well as on the Microsoft Store for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. If you'd rather play from the comfort of your couch, it's time to embark on an adventure with the Dwarf Sailors!

We've translated everything, including the Compendium. We've improved the gamepad controls and updated the tutorial to match the new controls. We also fixed some bugs and reduced the size of the game, but who cares about megabytes nowadays? Thanks for your attention, have a great weekend, and take care! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1307670/The_Unexpected_Quest/

- Improved performance (in general, but also specifically when clicking really fast) - Added animated worm to title screen with a speech bubble mentioning that the main game will be premium/paid - buy it once, play it forever! - Fixed several minor bugs introduced in the last update

- Changed daily rewards to give all rubies and Diggy skins/pickaxes in the first 7 days, instead of the first 15 days (which was way too many days for a demo!) - Reduced ore find time from 2 hours to 1 hour - Reduced Xatrium Bar craft time from 4 hours to 1 hour - Reduced crafting times of all other items as follows: -- items that took 4 hours now take 1 hour -- items that took 12 hours now take 4 hours -- items that took 24 hours now take 8 hours

Added super undo function, which can be executed by pressing and holding the undo button for 2 seconds. It will undo to the vicinity of the last temporary line at one time.

Hello everyone, I’m releasing a new update right now. Finally, I’ve made changes to the 15-second system. Unfortunately, it won’t be possible to completely say goodbye to it, but the changes are quite significant, especially in exchanging frogs for coins and crystals, and in exchanging crystals for coins. Now, you can exchange up to 50 frogs at once, which saves an incredible amount of time: (50 * 15 = 750 seconds). Moreover, the 15-second menu will no longer cover the entire screen but will only appear on the frog you just sold. So, after selling, you won’t have to sit and wait—you can just exit and continue doing other things, and after 15 seconds, you’ll be able to exchange up to 50 frogs again at once. Additionally, the 15-second delay applies only to one type of frog, meaning you can continue exchanging other frogs during that time. This means that with just a few clicks, you can sell over 1000 frogs at once. The same system applies to exchanging coins for crystals, where you can now exchange 10x1 crystals up to 50 times in a single click, saving a lot of time. For now, I haven’t touched the chests (For the new exchange system, I needed to write 12000+ lines in the file for trades) and decided to release just this update so that it’s already more convenient for you to play the game. Therefore, the next update will focus on the 15-second chest delay (if, of course, something can be done about it). In addition, I’ll be adding item deletion. I can give you a few spoilers for future updates: I plan to add text to the game to make it clearer what’s where. Plus, I’ll be adding a tutorial to explain how to play because it might not be very clear at first. After all of this, there will be updates to the cave gameplay. I’m planning a very exciting update for you, so stay tuned! Thank you so much for your support! Every day I read and look at the reviews for the game, and they inspire me even more to work hard and improve the game!

Changed version number of title

Suspension of chargeable items. Items with rubies can be purchased.

The second part of the DPS Idle game, DPS Idle 2, is finally available for download! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2402710/ The game has been released in early access. Now we are actively working on the game and on the feedback from players.

Keep the mouse still and on a line for 2.5 seconds to highlight the entire line

Added 50 levels and level generator in 3x3 map size. The AutoCross feature is changed to not work in 50 levels of 3x3 map size.

- Added in-game cloud saves. Cloud saves should just work automatically. If you want to play on multiple devices, make sure to manually 'upload to cloud' before you exit the game, and then 'download from cloud' on your other device - Changed earthworm diamonds from 10 earthworms that can drop diamonds every 4 hours, to 20 earthworms that can drop diamonds every 8 hours (by very popular request, thanks to everyone that suggested this!)

For those unfamiliar, Magic Archery will be short incremental game (around an hour). And I am using this to learn how to properly release games on steam, so it will be 100% free. I have added steam achievements, so look forward to that! Also artist shoutout! The gorgeous forest artwork for this post and backgrounds in game are assets from Eder Muniz! That is all, hope to see you in a couple of weeks!

I’ve replaced the GG Honey Tapple with the new Giggly Green Tapple! Tapple Twos-Day begins again this Tuesday, with double drops and a higher chance to collect the Giggly Green Tapple. Please be patient as I make major improvements to Tapple - Idle Clicker. My goal is to provide long-term enjoyment to all players and improve the game with every update. This update is just the beginning; more exciting changes are on the way!

Fixes ✅ Gem Exchange at The Den now functions properly if you have zero (0) of a gem Changes ✅ The quantity of resources required in the Quests view, now utilizes the configured display number format ✅ The rocket's sound now fades out over time ✅ The rocket and laser sounds randomly vary slightly in pitch over time

4 items have been removed from the rewards pool and in-game store*. 4 items will be available only until September 20 in the rewards pool and in-game store. *This makes them limited items that can no longer be obtained as in-game rewards. They can also no longer be purchased in the in-game store. Good luck to everyone this week and congratulations to all of you who have gotten these limited items!!

It’s been a while since my last update, but I’ve got some news to share. For those of you following the development of my next game, CivIdle, I’m happy to report that it’s come a long way, and progress has been great. That said, I haven’t forgotten about Industry Idle. I’ve been planning to bring it out of early access for some time, but I ran into a bit of a setback—the laptop with all the release environments and keys (since Industry Idle runs on six platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, and Web) died. Thankfully, I’ve recently gotten it repaired, and now we’re back on track! This release includes a handful of small fixes and improvements. Industry Idle has been “content complete” for a while now, so this update mostly focuses on polish. Looking ahead, I’m committed to keeping the server running for as long as possible. I actually use the income from both Industry Idle and CivIdle to cover server costs and plan to do the same with future projects to keep all my games' servers live and healthy. If you’ve been waiting for Industry Idle to officially leave early access before diving in, now’s your chance! And for those who have been with me since early access—thank you! I hope you continue to enjoy the game. If you’re looking for more, definitely give CivIdle a try as well—I think you’ll like it! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2181940/CivIdle/ If you already purchased Industry Idle Expansion Packs, you can take advantage of this bundle for a discounted CivIdle Supporter Pack https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/24685/Industry_Idle__CivIdle_Complete_Collection/ Cheers, FishPond
