SUMMARY:

• WE ADDED PAUSE- It's a simple thing but was forgotten how important it was to have until now.

• IMPROVED METER - In Boiling mode,the bar fades to black at the last 99.9% moment of detection for greater accuracy.

• STORE MODE INCLUDES PLAYER WALLET - We've kept the UI visible at the top along with your treasure inventory.

• TASK TRACKER UPDATE- Gallery and Doc Mode images now scale with slider. Also added assign date when you enter tasks.

WE ADDED PAUSE

Originally this was planned with the Escape key but it interfered with the full screen mechanic of playing in-browser so we mapped it to "P" instead. It's a simple thing but forgotten how important it was to have until now. At the bottom menu you'll notice we replaced Options, which had been disabled anyways.

When the Options feature gets updated, we'll either expand the menu bar or embed it somewhere else in the UI. We have to wait and see how it goes. Hopefully this helps with further testing.

IMPROVED METER

This week we improved metal detection! This time, the meter goes from 0 to 1 with a much higher accuracy. Based on your feedback, it was decided to go a step further and fade the meter from magenta to black when you're closest to the treasure but not quite there.

This improves accuracy in detection and should hopefully make the hunting experience a lot better. It's been fun to playtest and has worked out well. If you have any other suggestions to improve this, let us know in the comments.

STORE MODE INCLUDES PLAYER WALLET

The bottom bar remians hidden during Store shopping. But now we've kept the UI visible at the top along with your treasure inventory so you can make easier desicions. A better solution to the problem for the future is to update the shopping menu to include a bigger font for your wallet, it's been added to Task Tracker as a top priority.

TASK TRACKER UPDATE

As for Task Tracker Pro, we've updated it to include an image resize slider. We've also included the date you assigned a task so you know how long it's been. This was a last minute feature but it helped a lot in discerning old versus newer tasks.

Here you can see it in action. It's fun to use!

It works with our gallery page also. You can give it a try in our public page link below or when you sign up (free).
