Collect Orbs! Updates and Bug Fixes Please note that I’m still working on how to publish updates quickly to the live game and these updates may be delayed from the live version. Doing my best!
8/26/2022 Bug Fixes v1.01
Disabled edit feature on a few GUI chat labels (Identified by Wally)
Updated leaderboard to say “Orbs” instead of “Gold” (Identified by Wally)
Increased size and text size of the Top Orbs Collected leaderboard since it was only showing the top 7 players. Should now show top 10.
Added additional text in the starting area indicating you need to jump down.(Suggestion by Kea1on)
Quality of Life Update
Added all secret orb hints to get people more engaged in that aspect of the game.
Re-worked the entire map and added a waterfall! Although the individual zones are still laid out the same (e.g. orb placement, decor like mushrooms, etc.) the zones have been spread out and enclosed.
Added random orbs that give more points. 10% chance for Purple orb that gives 10 points, 5% chance for Golden orb that gives 30 points
Added a permanent speed boost item in the shop for Robux
Re-worked the starting experience
Bug Fixes v1.02
When a new player takes the #1 spot and their statue is created the previous player’s name was still there.
Some minor bug fixes that were not significant enough to remember.
Additional Notes:
I have left the current Trail system in place (e.g. unlock instead of. buy) as it’s how I envisioned the game when I first created it. I’m open to changing this in the future but for now it felt like the right decision to leave it as-is.
I also haven’t added special bonuses to the trails (e.g. double points, faster speed, etc.) because the idea behind the trails is to be a fun expression of the player. If they gave a bonus then everyone would have the “best” one equipped and that wouldn’t be fun.
Finally, I was spending time working on new systems but I’ve decided I want to stay close to the original vision to see how more people receive it. I’ll make additional updates and will keep working on ideas behind the scenes but we’l just wait and see what will be next.
I’d like to apologize to @foshmee who generously donated and that wasn’t reflected in-game. You’re now on the leaderboard and there is a statue of you, thanks! I’d also like to note this was a quick fix since I just caught this mistake and will probably give you a permanent statue since you were the first person to donate! Appreciate the support.
The issue behind the donation leaderboard not working
As a new developer, I didn’t understand that an ordered data store and a regular data store, even with the same name, are different data sets. The main orb/point leaderboard was working because I was doing a constant update to the ordered datastore but I didn’t catch this with the donation board. Oops! I’ll probably re-work the backend code to handle this differently but wanted to get this “hotfix” out quickly because I felt so bad!
