Launch is approaching fast!With just over 30 days left until Idlewood releases, I wanted to give a quick update on what's left on my plate. Broadly speaking it's finishing up the release content scope and fixing any bugs and smaller QoL issues ya'll find during Next Fest. So it's a little flexible, but here's the rough outline:Heroes: Biggest task by far. Every Hero needs a set of several animations (idle, walk, train, work, recover) for their different equipment tiers. So 15 animations for 1.0. This will fill most of the time between now and November.Mounts: I got them working, so it's mostly a matter of creating the pixel art & animations for all the mounts that will be in 1.0. Couple days work.Monsters: Same thing - it's a much larger set than the mounts, but I got most of them ready to go so this is mostly a matter of importing sprite sheets and maybe making smaller tweaks. A day, two at most.Artifacts: These are relatively trivial to produce but need more balancing than e.g. Mounts. I expect to finish all the art, names etc. in a day or two - and then balance them out as I leave the game running while working on other things. Advantage of making a passive game :PBalancing, bug fixes, QoL issues: Depending on severity/community feedback I'll prioritise these as they're found and flagged. Game feels pretty stable at the moment, but as we hit more different computers and screens there might be resolution issues etc. So effort unknown on this one, but hopefully not gigantic!So that's it! Let me know if you think I missed something or have bugs/issues you'd like to see addressed before 1.0.Cheers,Ben

Why hasn't the final update been released yet? Has this game been abandoned? No, never no. I'm working on many new features and improvements, such as 1. A more efficient input method 2. Showcase your solutions 3. Custom themes 4. A simpler UI 5. Performance optimizations 6. More levels ... But these are a bit complicated. I'm not sure how to implement them. So I've temporarily shifted my focus to other games and will return to this one once the relevant features are mature. Please give me some time. I promise the major update will be amazing! --- Upcoming Development Plans: Two puzzle games: 1. Meta Lines 2 (Store page launched today, game coming soon) Meta Lines 2 is a different kind of puzzle game in the series, inheriting the gameplay from the previous game. You simply connect all the same checkpoints. Compared to the previous game, the second game has some differences: 1. More levels 2. Three different tile grid types 3. A simpler UI ....... Highly recommend adding it to your wishlist! 2. Untitled Two score-competing games 3. Untitled 4. Untitled A point-and-click placement game 5. Lucky Flip Bros Stay tuned!

The long awaited farm customization patch is here! You're now able to decorate your farm to your personal liking! Welcome to all the new pomodoro and alpaca lovers, we've got a chonky patch for you today. Here we go! Some changes you can expect to see since the last build: - Farm customization implemented - Added wave 1 farm customizations - The pomodoro timers are now much more flexible - Default max timer is now 60 minutes. After 4 pomodoros, the max increases to 90 - Farm sprite art has been updated to a more simplified, clear style - Added the 4th Alpaca pen ... and much more here on Discord! A quick note - We'll be unleashing our new alpaca soon, but he's been a bad boy and is currently in jail. He'll be released soon so hold tight! Some known issues will also be fixed with the future patch namely some visual bush glitches and potential layering issues with the new Decor feature. Stay Tuned. We have a lot more to come! We hope you enjoy your time with PacaPomo! You can follow us on our socials and if you want to support the devs, you can do so here!

Hey Miners!A small but handy update has just arrived:Mute Audio Button: You can now instantly mute all sounds with a single click.Minor fixes and performance tweaks.Thanks for playing Sin Slayers: Meat & Greed!

What's new in the update:Adopt your custom gecko and personalize its color and pattern.Focus mode, turn off the capture minigame when you need to get work done. Your gecko will quietly hangs around without distractions.

UPDATE 1.1.1The main goal of this update is to improve mid-game, by adding more mid-goals between Boss X and Boss Y. Added a way to change your advisors (but it's not easy to get). Reworked weather damage calculations. A few additional nodes in the Skill Tree, a general balance shake-up, and more!Each Boss now has 4 levels. Higher-level bosses:- Have more HP- Possess higher resistances and often better abilities- Drop more gold- Have a higher chance of dropping items- Level 4 Bosses drop 2 chests- Count as more kills each (eg, Lv 3 => 3 kills)- Can drop unique items (eg, the new item used to change advisors)- Adds an additional way to get more Divine Gems (Baldog+)- Look slightly differentAll changes:- Each Boss now has 4 levels- New material used to replace Advisors- Reworked math behind weather damage - now weather modifies the damage, and boss resistances are applied afterward- Show a checkmark in the loot panel for items that can drop only once- Allow to dynamically fill the Boss ability info (used for the counter in the final boss fight)- Chest helpers open chests much faster - Add a new upgrade for Observatory to unlock Boss Levels- Show damage per second in the Burn tooltip instead of total damage for the entire cycle- Add a tooltip for shift+click and hold lmb options- Show elemental damage in tooltips multiplied by the general elemental bonus- Add every elemental icon to the Crystal Ring's Great effect descriptionReworked weather system damage calculationsOnce reaching a certain point in the game, the Boss's resistances didn't matter at all because of the weather, while also allowing it to reach 100% and suddenly, no damage was dealt to them. It should now keep them more useful. On top of that, the general elemental bonus \ is now multiplying the damage instead of being part of the sum (which made it do barely anything in some cases).If you are interested in the math behind it now and how it was before, let's take Poison Detonate Damage, for example:New hit...
