Time for another DevLog! You can now find CrossCode on two new platforms: Steam Greenlight<\/a> and Gamejolt<\/a>. Also, we finally have a date for our Indiegogo Campaign<\/b>. Of course, we also got new content<\/b> for you, including a new boss fight<\/b>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n CrossCode is finally available on Steam Greenlight<\/b>:<\/p>\n CrossCode on Greenlight<\/a><\/p>\n So if you want to see CrossCode released on Steam some time in the future (like… wouldn’t that be great?), go ahead and give us a vote! :D<\/p>\n Another platform you can find us on now is G<\/strong>ame Jolt<\/b>!<\/p>\n CrossCode on Game Jolt<\/a><\/p>\n Have a look at it, show it to your friends etc. If CrossCode gets a lot of views and good ratings, we might get more people to see our game!<\/p>\n Yepp, so we finally decided for a start date of our crowdfunding campaign.<\/p>\n The Indiegogo campaign for CrossCode will start on February 25th and run until March 28th<\/b>.<\/p>\n …So why so late? Let’s just say there are a couple of events we might<\/i> want to attend during this timeframe. Nothing’s for certain yet, but once it is, we’ll tell you more about it!<\/p>\n I spent last week creating more content for the puzzle mode<\/b>, such as two new rooms featuring the new bounce switch<\/b> puzzle mechanics:<\/p>\n Additionally, I added a proper boss at the end of the dungeon. Now this guy might seem familiar to you:<\/p>\n But don’t be too careless! This time he has a few new tricks up his imaginary sleeves:<\/p>\n All of this content will be playable with the new version we’ll release with the new Indiegogo campaign.<\/p>\n Since our game menu is getting more and more features, it is about time we added a proper explanation\u00a0for all of it – within the game. That’s what R.D.<\/b> has been working on last week. This is how the new help menu looks like:<\/p>\n It includes several pages full of informative content to make sure that no feature is left unexplained.<\/p>\n Another feature I’ve been working on is something you won’t see within the game, but which will result in faster creation of content: new editors<\/b> for animations<\/b> and effects<\/b>. Especially the creation process for effects has been greatly simplified.<\/p>\n This is what we’ve been working with before:<\/p>\n This is a generic json editor (custom made). It only helps you to write generic Json files and keep the formatting correct. It doesn’t help you with the content otherwise. Editing effects this way means you have to know the names of all configuration options by heart – which is impossible (for me, anyway). So instead, I look it up or copy it from other files over and over again – and this takes time! Especially because our effect files have a huge amount<\/b> of configuration options.<\/p>\n tl;dr: Creating effects with the JSON Editor is a pain<\/b>.<\/p>\n Anyway, this is how the new effect editor looks like:<\/p>\nSteam Greenlight and Gamejolt<\/h2>\n
