Welcome to the weekend, you prolific plant patters!
Apologies for my short-lived absence on the forums, and reviews - I've been living in code for the past week, trying to piece together all of the features for the upcoming new "Survival" game mode. That being said, I am pleased to confirm that I definitely *have not* surrendered my frail, human brain to the Supreme Robot Overlords... And I definitely *did not* engage in an electronic blood-ritual with my computer, in an effort to unlock the quantum secrets of the qubit.
In other news -
KNEEL BEFORE CYBERLORD: TORMENTOR OF FLESH. ARCHITECT OF ETERNAL SUFFERING.
-coughs-
Anyway, it's newsletter time, so let's see what I did this week -
Development Updates
I heard you "420-rendezook super-sus power-slide elemental-reflect" gamer gods wanted "unlocks" and "levels" and... "stuff"... in your game about grass. Well, buckle up, buckaroos - because I am proud to introduce the new "Experience" system, for Touch Some Grass!
Now, as you touch grass, you will actively earn Experience Points that will allow you to Level Up your profile. At certain milestones, you will be able to unlock unique color variations of existing Hands, along with new and exciting Hand skins!
Experience Points and Levels will be unlocked retroactively, and will reference a combination of your Lifetime Scores in both the current "Relax" mode, and the upcoming "Survival" mode. This means that, by playing the game right now, you are already earning your Levels for when the update is released!
Are you ready to grind out *absolutely punishing* levels of grass touching? I sure hope so!
Final Thoughts
Adding this Experience system is really kicking my buns... But it's going to be well worth it, in the end. I can't wait to finish up this new update, and get it out for all of you to enjoy!
Also, I hope everyone enjoyed the Sale this past week. As a direct result, we had a bunch of new "Glorious Grass-Grabbers" join our "Pantheon of the Golden Grass-Gods"! Welcome to the party, and thanks so much for taking the time to play this silly little game of mine!
That's it for me this week. Back to programming and working towards the ASSURED EXTINCTION OF MANKIND. -coughs- I mean... uh... working on this new unlock system... Yeah... That's it...
And as always, happy grass-touching, my friends! ːsteamhappyː
