Pan'orama news & patch notes

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/412dbbe12cb95b711b208f1adada9939126edfcb.jpg Hi everyone, As you probably know by now, from time to time, we try to surprise you with something new when it comes to updates. And this is one of those times! Pan'orama is a game that has captured your interest, and we aim to make it better with each successive patch. Not only do we want to improve its performance and functionality (yes, we've finally added controller support!), but we also aim to expand the vibrant, bustling world of Pan'orama’s gameplay. But before we jump into the details, we’d like to let you know that our newest game - Captain Pawsome - launches today in Early Access! Captain Pawsome is a cozy 2D fishing game where you play as the titular captain. You’ll manage your own shop and upgrade your ship as you journey across the ocean, cleaning up the environment and catching tens of unique types of fish. If you’d like to set sail on a relaxing adventure with your own feline captain, be sure to check Captain Pawsome out! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1551000/Captain_Pawsome/ Now, let's delve deeper into what's new with today's patch!

New Structures!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/c841b7932f46b302c5849caaa71756965de37c06.png This is something that a lot of you have been asking for - a handful of new buildings that will further diversify your landscape! 5 biomes, namely: Villages, Fields, Forests, Lakes and Mountains, have been enriched with 7 completely new structures. These include Pharmacy, Temple, Market, Wooden Bridge, Glasshouse, Seaport, and Drawbridge. Along with them come entirely new effects! For example, placing the Temple on the 2nd level will score each of your subsequent 2nd level structures additionally. There are many effects, but we want to leave part of the discovery process to you, so no further spoilers! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/a5b45b543fb6fa33c4d549ad1bd7c0a762779e09.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/7840df8d1829704921923b624faeeeb436418d5b.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/f1b064cac8c506b15d7c1a6440185c34e57c32f4.jpg

Gameplay reshuffling and diversification

We aimed to make each of your gameplay experiences in Pan'orama unique, bringing something fresh and unexpected compared to the previous ones. Therefore, now, in each game, available structures will be randomly selected from a given pool, rather than appearing in a predetermined order. This means that each time, the strategy will have to be adjusted anew to ultimately succeed and complete the game.

Controller support

Maybe you're one of those people who, instead of sitting at a desk, prefer to comfortably settle into a favorite chair or sofa with a gamepad in hand. Today's patch finally provides this option by introducing full support for your favorite controllers, as well as the ability to independently assign functions to buttons. Configure your own gaming experience! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/0a73fb9894f50a748530838464c902e95b77ba5a.png

Achievements

It's often said - save the best for last. And so it will be this time as well. Achievements are something you've probably asked us for most frequently on Steam, Discord, and in private messages. We promised they would come, and today we are pleased to announce that the promise is being fulfilled today. From now on, you can earn trophies! To paraphrase the slogan of one of the popular anime series goes - gotta get them all! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/b99cc75e098c98b6c95242dadbaa0c7cd01f1b9d.png We wish you incredibly good fun in the refreshed version of Pan'orama, but we also want to inform you that this is the last chance to purchase the game at the current price. After the Steam Winter Sale, the price will increase, so if you don't have Pan'orama in your library yet, it's the perfect time to change that! As the Chicken Launcher team and Awaken Realms as a whole, we want to wish you a cheerful and joyful Christmas, and may this upcoming New Year be filled with amazing indie games that will enrich your libraries and bring you much joy - something we personally aim for as well! Chicken Launcher Team

Hey everyone, This year's Steam Awards are underway! We've had an incredible year of gaming, and now it's your chance to celebrate your favorite titles by participating in the Steam Awards. We believe in the power of your voice, and that's why we've chosen Pan'orama for one of the categories that we feel fits the game best - the Sit Back and Relax category. Why Pan'orama for this particular category? The game offers a relaxing blend of pleasant visuals and a soothing gameplay experience. We think it's the perfect title to unwind after a long day, offering a tranquil escape into hexagonal worlds of your own creation. We've created the game with this in mind - to craft an experience that truly allows players to, well, sit back and relax. If you agree with the above and think Pan'orama deserves to be nominated, it would mean the world to us if you could click the banner above and nominate it! Thank you to everyone who decides to cast their vote on Pan'orama!

Hey, hexagonal world builders!

This last month has been amazing for us, thanks to you. The feedback for the game has been very positive, as clearly reflected in both the comments and the review score. Players, as well as content creators seem to be loving the game, which makes us super happy. If you'd like to see an example of a Youtuber enjoying the game, here's a great video by Blitz: At the moment, Pan'orama is sitting at a fantastic 90% review score with over 300 reviews, and on top of that, the recent reviews are at a whooping 93%! This pleases us to no end and we would like to thank you for that! This is the wind in our sails and what drives us to make the game even better. And speaking of that, here's the first big addition to Pan'orama...

The Challenge Mode (beta) - live now!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/040adca39a44c5d8ee955599f7bf66773fc9e878.png At its heart, Pan'oarma is a relaxing game, but we still want to build upon that and make it an experience you can tailor fit to your needs! The Challenge Mode allows you to do that. While the mode is in a very early beta stage, we want to share it with you now and ask for your help and feedback.

What is the Challenge Mode?

The Challenge Mode is an entirely new mode in the game. As the name suggests, its difficulty is higher than the Standard Mode and its aim is to challenge players who already have a good grasp of the game's mechanics. There are 2 entirely new mechanics implemented in this mode. These are:

Perks

Each time you construct a monument, you'll have the chance to select one of three random permanent perks that will leave a lasting impact on your future games. These perks introduce brand new interactions between tiles, enhance the abilities of your structures, and even grant bonus points for performing specific tasks! Not only do these perks offer gameplay advantages, but they also allow you to personalize your playstyle as you strive to win o reach a high score. Here are a few examples of the various bonuses offered by the Perks: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/f8ad99b7fb1898551ab166ca5f8a568461242ebe.png

Masteries

After emerging victorious in the Challenge Mode, you'll be presented with an exciting opportunity to choose one of 3 masteries, each of which adds a unique twist to make your gameplay more challenging. When you start a new game afterwards, you'll have the freedom to select any combination of these masteries in order to make your next attempt as demanding as you want it to be. In return, however, the Masteries grant you a final score multiplier, ensuring that your efforts are rewarded! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/703a0e1a55c12d1c16925acf490746c522af1bce.png

How to access the Challenge Mode?

The new mode is available now to everyone who owns the game. You don't need any special beta access. The only thing you have to do is to update the game in the Steam app. To secure a win in the Challenge Mode, you'll have to take your world-building skills to the next level. You are (most definitely) going to lose the first couple of games, but the Perks you unlock will give you the boost needed to finally overcome the challenge! We've created a dedicated discussion on the forums for you to share your thoughts on the mode, so please GO TO THIS THREAD to leave your feedback.

Achievements update

We know many of you are waiting for the achievements to be implemented, so here's an update. We're planning on adding the achievements after the implementation of new pets, the Monthly Mode and after the Challenge Mode gets out of the beta stage. The reason is that we want to implement them in full, to avoid situation in which we either have to implement them partially now, or make the players lose their 100% achievement rate later on. Once we reach the content sweet spot, the achievements will make it into the game! That's all for today's update. Remember that the Challenge Mode beta is available now, so be sure to jump in and share your thoughts HERE. We'll be improving the mode and fixing any bugs based on your feedback, so leaving a comment will be really appreciated. Oh, and if you find some translation errors, don't worry - most of that is placeholders that will be corrected before the mode goes out of the beta. See you next time!

Thank you all for joining us and all your feedback!

We just had a fantastic first 3 days with so many people playing and enjoying Panorama and we couldn't be more happier about it! While some players are still trying to win the game other may be already bored with crushing high scores. Is that all that Panorama can offer? Far from it! You asked us for Achievements, new buildings, new animals, new modes, weekly/monthly(?) modes, key bindings, camera settings, farther zoom and few other quality of life upgrades? Lets to them all! (although it may take up to few months) Check out what we are working on right now and expect major update in upcoming weeks but first quick changelog of recent fixes:

Changelog

Gameplay:

You can get only one Cat Statue (Final Monument) Changed Cat Statue’s description to mention that it removes remaining tiles for points Tile counter now properly displays their amount after loading a finished game

UI:

Better visibility for points indicator

Others:

FPS locked on 60 Added few anti-cheat solutions (still working on more) Fixed vanishing saves Fixed game crashes if demo version was present before Fixed game crashes in some particular situations

Achievements

Achievements are coming in next 2-3 weeks! You can catch a quick sneak peak below and we hope that will bring you some additional challenges, fun and meaning to playing Panorama ;D {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/3616480aa75bd0ca06f8eb86e9dcb07060c99602.png Please note its work in progress and not proofread: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/96d6cdaf2b0f33980b4772ecef90613f3c430dc0.png

NEW Challenge mode

This is a top priority for us at the moment and we hope to bring it to you in 3-4 weeks! This new mode will feature much harder points system that will however come with some permanent perks and masteries that will carry over to your next games! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/02a49883334781f51b373f97af8cce2a040ed1dd.jpg

Challenge mode: Perks

Every time you build o monument or reach certain criteria you will be able to choose one from 3 permanent perks that will carry on to your future games. Those perks will bring new interactions between tiles, they will upgrade your structures skills, give you more points for certain tasks etc. They will also give you an opportunity to personalize your play style while reaching to the top! Here are some WIP photos of UI and rough ideas for new perks! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/b3be78ae5c8c073cfc4e2ac258137c68b17793f6.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/50f137e44e08b4fa658adb66a18934022859d934.png Please note its work in progress early prototype and not proofread: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/433f9a1cbab4e6f19be7fffe827cd71ecba5c239.png

Challenge mode: Masteries

Each time you win a game you will be able to choose one of 3 masteries. Once you start new game you will be able to select any masteries you want and they will make your games harder in certain ways but they will also give you a very nice final score multiplicator. Check out some rough Masteries ideas below! (yes the text and names below are just placeholders:) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/2deadd50e5e153889c4107cfa2fdd60a9666dcca.jpg Please note its work in progress early prototype and not proofread: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/080c248172eb6889b258ba3d5ec06c2931d83c22.png

Weekly/Monthly Challanges

Next after challenge mode we will introduce Weekly/Monthly challenges. We would love of course to do weekly ones but do not know yet if that will be possible. Maybe biweekly will be an answer? We will see. Anyway those will be not just a simple point and abilities tweaks, we want to start off with some real game changes here that we have toyed with in the past. Check out 2 sneak peaks for now! 1. Puzzle mode - there is no single tile in the mode and you have to manage by using only multi tiles and quests to build up your structures and map: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/c22c8b4ee93c5e844631d059fd8a3b0ab0c03a01.gif 2. Trash mode where whole map is filled with trash and you need to build the houses around the trash to remove it so you can expand your map! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/26efeeef800458cc1b366959dda31ceb13fce5b3.png 3. We want to also bring you thematic challenges like: Animal theme where everything is worth 0 points but animals are worth 100 each and another 100 for clicking it. Or City theme where every single tile has a house and there is no limit on house structures. Anyway you get the idea!

New Buildings

There are already lots of buildings in the works with exciting new skills to use in game! Check out some of them below and we hope they will bring you a even more joy and strategic planning to your future Panorama games! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/3d44886f6f1fe34f8c00f13a56dc7148d33735bd.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/6639faee70325af2b721d6fe4dd6ec9df5a609e3.png

New Animals

You can also expect much more animals in upcoming weeks and new bigger focus on them in terms of game play. Some animals will now give more points one clicking on them and will interact with new building skills! Check out those cute Chickens, Cows, Goats and Rabbits below. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/f2de5e7d8b0705c1202c781b969658a47ba02725.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/fef716f60f24a470e9f1c739e5453d0221104c23.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/16eace5252282762ebad24ef5afbec2882668ed2.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/65bf70723bb7574cda5d25a6b272af60acf7f655.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/5ce2d11564621a93a7e8e392f6fbdea3347f6ccd.png

Other upcoming features:

Windowed borderless mode

This is something some of you asked and we will work on that as well for future patches!

Key bidings / Full controller support

This is a very big topic and it will not come that soon but once we start porting we will introduce a full controller support with key bindings into our game. We hope that you can manage to stick to current setup until this time!

zoom in / zoom out / faster camera

We want to introduce more camera options and we are working on it right now. Further zoom out may need a bit more time as we need better graphic optimization for that but we will get there!

MAC os

Yes we definitely want to do a MAC version and it should be available in few months!

Other Announcements:

Cheaters:

Last but not least we have our first highscore cheaters! We are working on some solutions but before they go live we would like to ask you to just do not cheat ;p

Creative mode screenshot Contest

While we are fighting for cheat free scoreboards lets start our first creative mode competition! For this one there is no theme or rules. To take part in it just create some beautiful scene in creative mode and post a screenshot in the Pan'orama Community Hub (link for instructions) with the tag #Panorama1 in the name. Top 3 winners with possible honorable mentions will be selected by us and announced in one of next updates! You have time until 31st of may! Thanks and see you soon!

Hey everyone, This is the Chicken Launcher team and today, we're releasing a demo of our new upcoming game - Pan'orama. It's a colorful and relaxing puzzle, in which you're placing tiles to create your own little world. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/28f13055d2dc051fa5211f70e28192ce62522b56.png We've been working on it for some time and now, we'd like to share it with you to have fun with and give us your feedback on it. The game's still in development and we're aware that there are things missing, bugs happening etc. For now, we’ll keep working to smooth out all the rough edges. What we aim for with the release of the demo is to gather opinions on the gameplay and the feel of the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/53b4797180b2ad0f2949342bcb2a5d9b6a65881d.png Since it's a demo version, there are limitations to it. You'll be able to play each run until you reach 1000 points. There is no limit to how many runs you can play, however, so you can drop back in as many times as you want! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42667346/5c1de471f8d2d91c90ee125ccba97739969f05c1.png That being said, we hope you enjoy this little taste of the soothing experience Pan'orama offers. If you play it, please be sure to share your thoughts with us here on Steam, in the discussions. Have fun!
