Super Cable Boy news & patch notes

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37785172/3ede6478c0fbbdc474f5b9113ae022424a68881c.png it's a tiny update:

• Added Portuguese localization. Many thanks to Jorge Junio and Lucas Pavlinscenkyte (EQUIPE TRADUÇÕES PKG)!
• Added fresh new cover and banner images on the Steam page! I think they're cute.
• Fixed DPad controls for most gamepads.
• Minor bug fixes.

And that, folks, is all for now. The update is teeny. And tiny.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37785172/6ca8dfff0b4588eab435de1cde1d6568c9218891.png As part of our daily routine we rolled the dice and looked at our chart to decide what new things to add to this game now. We rolled our wheel of fortune exactly four time and this is what it landed on:

• A tiny new secret area.
• A couple of new Onigiris.
• New localizations, this time it's traditional and simplified Chinese, Korean and Spanish.
• Some bug fixes that have been inside the game since launch, but nobody really noticed or thought they where just "part of the Glitch".

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37785172/c4094a41c8c726b2253452efb8b38ba9b17833c8.gif This update might confuse some users due to it's random nature, but trust us, it's all going to make sense it the end. Or is it? Or maybe we are running out of quirky patch note ideas and started to just write down the random stream of consciousness we call our mind. Who knows? Stop asking so many questions and stop confuzzling everyone! Do you see Cable Boy up there? He's confuzzled, too.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37785172/700d8f9c5239d7456580785f6d1fef0220059310.gif Well, well, well. A lot has happened since the last update and Cable Boy has been electrocuting his circuits for you day in day out. But don't worry. We're here to comfort you and tell you all about it. He has become smarter, more stable, but most of all, a boy of culture. LOCALIZATIONS I know, I know... It's kind of ironic that the event news itself is only available in English, but hey, we gotta cut budget somewhere, you know? Anyways... Cable Boy downloaded himself some language lessons and is now fluent in:

• Japanese
• German

He's still learning a few other languages, though. Almost there. Learning new vocabulary is difficult if you have only 32kb of Memory.

• Korean
• Traditional Chinese
• Simplified Chinese
• Thai
• Spanish

Will be ready next month! OST RELEASE Did you know Cable Boy loves to dance? If you've ever pressed during the game, you probably did. Make sure to check out the OST, which includes all of Cable Boys favorite tunes (Which is basically every track from the whole game)! You can find it linked on the main store page or right here BUG FIXES And as always we fixed a couple of bugs and glitches here and there (not the good ones, though. The good ones stay.):

• Fixed a bug that caused the player to be teleported outside the disassembler boss fight room, when taken damage and playing with extra lifes
• Reworked the level highlighting logic on the world map
• Beep boop

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37785172/dd6fdb15c4cbedfc8ab3fb705bc27347d2c48cdc.gif STEAM SUMMER SALE Not sure if you've noticed, but yeah! The game is 20% off durign Steam Summer Sale! If you haven't already, go grab it! Also, why are you reading the announcement of a game you don't even own? Appreciate it, though. There's one more thing... NINTENDO SWITCH RELEASES aaaaaand.... the game is now available on Nintendo Switch! That's it. That's all I'm going to say about this one. This is not a promotion for the Switch Version, just a footnote containing purely non promotional information. Don't buy it. Just know that it's there. (I didn't write this because Steams policies are holding me hostage at all. Please don't sue me. Buy the game though. Just on Steam, of course. What? Who wrote all that? no one. You just imagined it.)

Sit back, relax and let Cable Boy show a world of bleeps and blops that make your main frame melt.

All proceeds go to the composer.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37785172/1fca0d930e43d7e99a49ff132e74ed8c7c4d31ab.png So yeah, I did it! I did the thing everybody was waiting for! I put controller rumble support into the game! Everyone: But we actually wanted new content! Developer: Haha controller goes brrrrr {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37785172/e4e6eb50f23261cbe96def44bb50fab69dfef779.gif Ok, jokes aside. I do think it's quite cool to have this feature and for those who get easily annoyed, there is also an option to turn it off. Also that is not all I have been working on. There is a bunch of minor improvements, like some fixes for input problems, support for OpenGL and Vulcan, Cloud saves integration and a few bug fixes. And not to forget the speedrun timer now properly acts as one. Oh, and because so many people were crawling on their knees, begging for it: The final fight got a tiny bit easier. Nothing too major, just a few tentacles less, a few seconds of attack off the clock, some more time to hurt the poor guy and the Ink-Cartridge can finally stop those lasers! Cheers!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37785172/7a2bfccff2aa38b106eafae9e9bce94f2085fcbc.png Cable Boy told me something doesn't feel right. Something was missing. He couldn't really tell what it was, but something was bothering him. After going through the game's code with him, we realized something... It wasn't there... The quick but certain rush of voltage through his circuits when all of the sudden Steam's toast message pops up and says "ACHIEVEMENT"! It was just missing from the code. How could this be? How could we have been so blind? Well, it's nothing a little patching couldn't fix, so here we go. You deserve it. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37785172/a8c9fcbed338b1536934fbfb4177fbb32e37fd81.gif Also, a couple of adjustments were made to some of the levels difficulty. Some early levels became more difficult and some later levels a tick easier. It felt like the right thing to do. Oh, and for the speedrunners out there, we got a cooler timer now! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37785172/e2bc85e1e8cfdb5525991ee060ec76868d33e425.gif

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37785172/8debd1fb97171b14576155faa3b76774dd7f7efe.jpg It has been over 2 years now since Cable Boy made his first appearance in a game jam game, and he can barely contain himself to get all his buttons pushed in his very own full featured gaming experience! He is ready to make new friends with all those amazing retro fans, speedrunners or platforming enthusiasts, although he is a little nervous. He is thinking about all the hard work, love and passion that went into the creation of his world. "My creator is probably nervous, too!" - he says to himself. And it's true. Nevertheless, it's getting time to boot this up! Polish the last 1's and 0's and get all the bugs and glitches out there... Well, for the biggest ones, it's the players fate to decide what to do with them. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37785172/a46fcd1fc5e5c2600dfc207d1e12ce3405f42db6.gif
