  • Fixes
addedSolid and Gradient Color Backgrounds!In the Pause Menu, you can now change from the outer-space background to either a solid color or 2 color gradient background! This can make playing have a more stylized look, utilizing some of your favorite colors. Slight performance increase as well!
changedPlayers Can Choose To Fly Through Space!After popular request, I implemented a toggle button for 'Moving' through the default outer-space background. While I prefer the visuals of moving, it is now the player's choice! Toggle it in the Pause Menu when playing!
addedDEUCES WILD VIDYA POKERI decided to challenge myself and dev a new poker gametype:
addedDeuces Wild! How does it work?EASY! Any 2 (deuce) is wild! This means, it can represent any other card in the deck. 2s will glow with a rainbow effect! With wild cards, a 5 of a Kind hand is possible! Because good hands are easier to earn, payouts are reduced for lower tier scores. Three new unique hands can be earned in Deuces Wild mode. Earning a score that includes Aces will still earn Diamonds, just like the other poker modes!
addedDeuces Wild! How does it work?Also, 9 new achievements for Deuces Wild hands have been added!
changedOptimizationsOf course, as I delve back into the project, I continually find more efficient ways to do logic. It might be placebo effect (since I haven't used any FPS analysis), but the game feels smoother to me!

Deuces Wild! How does it work?

  • Auto-play is also operational in Deuces Wild!

Optimizations

Of course, as I delve back into the project, I continually find more efficient ways to do logic. It might be placebo effect (since I haven't used any FPS analysis), but the game feels smoother to me!

Thank You!
