Stress Relief news & patch notes

Happy New Year!

For the first update of this year, i'm introducing 2 new small features:

• Weekly Leaderboard: The old leaderboard has been renamed to All Time Leaderboard and I introduced a new top list for weekly wins.

• Compact Mode: The new default style is a smaller PP counter bar. The old one can be reenabled in the settings menu under the "Compact style" option.

Major changes:

• Added Discord activity editor: If you have activities enabled on discord (formerly known Rich Presence), you can set up a custom message and image in the editor menu

• Added Friends lobbies: You can now invite your friends to idle together. When you and your friends join lobbies, your friends slime will appear on your screen.

• Added a new item slot, the Pet: In the future i will add more animals and objects to this slot. For now there is only 1 item available, the Blue Slime, which is gifted to players for free for trying the Friends feature.*

* Joining a lobby with a friend will automatically add the item to your inventory. It might take up to a minute for steam to process this.

Minor changes:

• Item exchange now correctly displays the new item you get for exchanging items

• Rock-Paper-Scissors now needs 2 wins to win the match instead of 3

• Added a daily rewards counter so players can see how much items they can claim by winning duels

• Fix scaling issue on MacOS

• Fix audio slider value not saving on exit

Stress Relief is finally released! Thanks to everyone who played the demo and gave a try to my game.

Disclaimer

Steam does not offer a solution to transfer items from demo to the full release, so your demo items will be gone sadly. To make up for this, i have made 2 unique items which will be automatically handed out to people who played the demo for at least 15 minutes. The 2 unique and exclusive items are the Golden Skin and Golden Ears. If you would like to move your distance stats from the demo to the full game, please contact me on discord.

Feature list:

• The Slime desktop pet

• 187 items which are tradeable on the Steam marketplace. You can get 1 item every 25 minutes.

• Exchange 8 items of the same quality to get a new item of a better quality

• 11 languages available in the game (Please contact me on discord if you want the game translated to your language)

• 11 achievements to unlock

• 6 default Desktop Destroyer tools (Workshop support is coming soon)

• Rock-Paper-Scissors game to play against other players and win random items (unlimited games, only 3 items a day)

• Limited linux and macOS support

• Multiple different themes to change how the UI looks according to your taste

• Enable developer mode from the settings menu to access experimental features meant for testing and preview

Experimental features:

• Friends: Create a lobby and invite your friends to play with you. They will appear on the screen with their own skin preset and everyone will be notified when someone opens an item. It is planned to help eachother claim items when someone is AFK.

• Discord Activity Editor: It is possible to set up your own custom discord status using this game. Here is a guide on how to set it up.
