107d ago

The mostly final version of Slider is here! This comes with our Chinese localization, a fix for high refresh-rate monitors, and a ton of bug fixes. Here is the full change log:

- Chinese localization!

- Localization should now default to your system's language if available

- Fixed missing animation frames on Chad, Archeologist, and Fezziwig (lmk if there's any others please!!)

- Added an experimental option to make the player smoother on high refresh-rate monitors

- Added an option to tone down screen effects (like flashing or shaders)

- Updated how files are saved and added some more permanent saves, so the whole process should be safer and more recoverable. We will now also occasionally create backups every hour of your progress.

- Added speedrun timer option

- Updated some main menu UI a little to make it more readable

- Updated some dialogue in MagiTech

- Added more support for text backgrounds on various objects in the game (map, dice, ...)

- Slight improvements to controller support in Ocean and Mountain

- Fixed some minor controller menu bugs

- Fixed some typos and localization issues

- Fixed some Korean achievement localizations

- Fixed voices for Crocodile and Military Robots

- Fixed bug where Ocean battle pass would get stuck in a bad state

- Fixed bug where throw indicator would show up in front of time calibrator

- Fixed some bugs in MagiTech with the cat and UI

It's truly been such a journey and I really need to get to making my next games, but I'm glad for all of the support and positive reviews everyone has been so kind as to shower me with. I was going to write a bunch more stuff but I think I'll keep it for my website C:

Slider is Thinky Awards' Best Free Game!

boomosteam_community_announcements

517d ago

Guys... we did it! Despite the stacked line up of amazing free games, Slider managed to be the 2024 Thinky Awards' Best Free Puzzle Game! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42262092/56e905502bfdb0afb0460359088fed41cba4855b.png 5 Big Booms for Slider please! This is probably the last award we will be getting given Slider's expiring shelf life (though we are still constantly getting new players which is awesome!), but it's been an amazing time releasing a game that has captured so many. Every time I see someone asking "Why is this game free?", I can't help but smile. Things have stalled out a bit, but there are still a few more projects that I'm hoping to get to before closing the book on Slider. Thank you again for all of your dedicated support, it truly means the world to me! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42262092/7a20c75a03d700586f913f8e23a6d5d135b36a6f.png

I have a dream... that one day I'll see those words next to our game "Overwhelmingly Positive" Only 300 more reviews to go! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42262092/596d2193762e126fb41d6b173b0f689b6f35acca.gif Slider has been such a journey and I've been wayyy too addicted to constantly reading the reviews. I'm doing my best to keep up with the bugs (which have been for the most part kept up with?!) and in the coming months we should be able to start rolling out localization! Anyway, thanks again to everyone who's been reporting bugs and everyone who's been writing reviews. It's made the whole team super happy to read all the positive feedback and I've been glad that I've been able to find the time to keep supporting the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42262092/3f1ae871da87dcf8564521bb695ab031a9ca5626.png

boomosteam_community_announcementspatchnotes

701d ago

- Upgraded the Unity engine version! I'm trying my best to figure out what's causing the crashing for some people, but it's been really tough since it seems graphics card related and I can't reproduce it myself :(, fingers crossed that this fixes it. - Updated (again) some colliders in Factory in the past section of the map - Updated some colliders in the Mountain - Fixed a bug that caused issues with colliders if you had tiles moving during the Village grid shuffle that could cause you to get stuck into walls - Fixed a bug where Chad could walk on water in the Desert - Fixed a bug in MRI (but also will affect other areas in the game too) where multiple screen effects going on at once could prevent you from opening the Artifact or going through the portal

Slider v1.0.09

boomosteam_community_announcementspatchnotes

722d ago

Wow! We're Steam Deck verified!! It's surprising cause we don't even officially support controller yet. - Fixed a bug in the Jungle where the fat tile would spawn separated - Reworked how the doors in the Factory are coded so hopefully they should be more consistent - Added some more checks in the Mountain. If you load the area with 7 sliders, the heater should be on now. Also, if the heater thinks it's full but for some reason isn't, extra lava carts will make it check again now. - Updated the dialogue in MRI at the laser cutscene - Updated some hints in the walkthrough We're working on setting up localization!

Slider v1.0.08

boomosteam_community_announcementspatchnotes

729d ago

- Updated Linux Steam cloud saving path. If you created a Windows profile, it might overwrite the Linux one you currently have! You should be able to use the new "restore backup" function to get your old linux save back though. - If you messed up your saves, you can try checking your saves folder and using one of the other backups we create. For example, you might want to (while the game isn't running) copy "backup-LINUX-slider0.cat" to "backup-slider0.cat". If you start your game, you should be able to then restore the backup. The linux save path should be the games install directory -- during testing mine was at "~/snap/steam/common/.config/unity3d/slider*.cat" before the update, and at "~/snap/steam/common/.config/unity3d/boomo/Slider/slider*.cat" after the update. - Updated select profile screen. Now there's a button to restore backups in case your save gets deleted by Steam cloud or something weird happens. (Backups are created/replaced each time you quit the game) - Added an experimental "Keyboard Only" mode in controls - Updated Barron's dialogue - Fixed an issue with Factory Slider 9 collectible saving/loading

Slider v1.0.07

boomosteam_community_announcementspatchnotes

733d ago

- Updated how achievements are given. Now, teleporting to a different area will *only* disable speedrun achievements. In other works, teleporting, anchor, scroll + boots buttons are okay if you want area-specific achievements! - Anchor cheats button now turns into a recall anchor button if you had already used it. You can normally already do this with the scroll of realigning's save/load though! - Fixed a bug where the speedrun achievements weren't properly given. You should be able to load back into any speedrun saves you have and get them again though - Actually updated profiles so that they show a dark gray border on the bottom if you used the cheats panel -- this is intended for speedrun verification if that ever picks up in the future - Added another hint to the NPC in the caves by the big fungus - Fixed a bug in MagiTech where quitting during the portal effect would break the portal

Slider v1.0.06

boomosteam_community_announcementspatchnotes

735d ago

- Fixed a bug where Romeo would disappear after picking up the 6th Village Slider - Fixed a bug where the caves rat wouldn't properly attach to Sliders it previously had been on - Fixed a bug where you needed 2 unused supply drops instead of 1 for the "Supreme Commander" military achievement - Fixed a bug where the minecart would get stuck in a state where it constantly stopped moving after one tile of movement - Achievement progress will stay as the highest value you've gotten on Steam (ex. if you have a profile with 8 breadge and you start a new one, Steam will now keep showing 8)

Slider v1.0.05

boomosteam_community_announcementspatchnotes

736d ago

- Added controller support for MRI! - Moved an NPC in MRI so you wouldn't get stuck in a wall - Fixed a bug where you could get Slider 8 early in the Desert - Added an experimental "DisableSlider X" to the dev console

Slider v1.0.04

boomosteam_community_announcementspatchnotes

737d ago

Psst... Did you hear? Slider's soundtrack is on Spotify!

Wow!! Launch has been going great so far.
