SUMMARY:

• WE UPDATED DETECTOR MECHANICS TO TIER SYSTEM! - Metal detectors work only within their tier metal system.
• SUCCESS = TIME + CHANCE - We added a table to help give more insight into how this works.
• DRAG N' DROP PRO - Task Tracker's drag and drop system is in development and we think you'll love it!

PLAY THE GAME

WE UPDATED DETECTOR MECHANICS WITH TIER SYSTEM!

When the game starts, your inital detector doesn't find any metal beyond Tier 0: junk, iron, nickel, and tin. Before, all detectors would find all kinds yet skip ones beneath but result in an excess of funds early in-game and killed any sense of satisfying progression. From the above screenshot you can see an example of "Ore detected" using the Iridium Supreme Detector; when treasure is out of range you're at least informed of its existance or nothing is found.

Later it was realized there's another disparity in the game. Once you can afford the more expensive gear, the excess funds aren't spendable. This led us to the idea of the option to purchase a golf kart. This not only opens up more mechanics to have fun with but also keeps prices within reason since otherwise you might take forever earning what you need to affort top tier items.

SUCCESS = TIME + CHANCE

Here you can see our teir system and the detectors available. Moving forward we'll keep tweaking these values. Also, we might toy with the idea of randomizing a 1-in-10 chance of having a store sale of up to 50% off. This would be a great way to keep the game interesting in moments where it might be taking too long to earn treasure.

DRAG N' DROP PRO

While the splash page for Task Tracker Pro remains, we're also playing with the idea of drag and drop to sort tasks. We're almost there and it's honestly a fun concept. But there's mechanical bugs and kinks to work out to make it right, but we're close!

That's it for this week! Hope you try out the game and check out our list on Task Tracker Pro! To be continued....
