5/2024 Updates:

5/27/2024:

  • Added loading screen back into the game for when player first joins a game

5/26/2024:

  • Added more items to cosmetics shop (cone hat, blue tie, metal windup, blue backpack, chicken hat, and chef hat.)
  • Fixed issue where player could ragdoll when gliding into Terrain

5/21/2024:

  • Added two new cosmetics into the game. I’ll be working on more so feel free to give ideas.
  • For parts of the game that currently support changing prompts based on player-set keycodes, those parts of the game now also support other keyboard types and controller types.

5/16/2024:

  • Fixed issue where music would go quiet after a previous track faded out.
  • Fixed issue where camera auto pitch angle system didn’t stop when in main menu. Some issues still happen when pausing. Will look into.

5/12/2024:

  • Fixed issues with auto camera pitch adjustment system
  • Added option to toggle auto camera pitch adjustment system in options menu → general

5/11/2024:

  • Fixed issues with Adaptive Music in Nightfall Grove
  • Added temporary Hub World background music.
  • Fixed issue where background music volume control would not be respected
  • Added system for changing the angle of the camera when the player is idle for 5 seconds.
    • The idea here is to give players an optimal angle of viewing the world for ease of viewing and platforming. Moving the camera while the player is moving seems to be an issue (user control over the camera when lerping CFrame is weird), so this is all I’ve got so far.
    • This system mimics the one in Spyro’s Reignited Trilogy. I can see how this is limited or annoying. I’ll be sure to add a toggle for automatic versus manual camera adjustment in the future.

5/10/2024:

  • Extended Nightfall Grove level at the end for more platforming
  • Switched Nightfall Grove music to normal track instead of ambient version.
    • Working on the ambient system, but it’s not working how I’d like it to.
4/2024 Updates:

  • 4/28/2024:

    • Added gamepad customizable keybinds.
    • Fixed issue where minutes were incorrectly display for playtime.
    • Fixed issue where NPC dialogue UI would not update with proper continue button to press. This is fixed for inputType changes and changes to player-set prompts on gamepad and keyboard.

  • 4/27/2024:

    • Added music playing system to Extras menu.
      • This allows people to play all the music I’ve made with ease. The idea of this came from Fairune on the 3DS.
    • Dev Note:
      • The adaptive music from the previous update is now based on being idle or not. Yet, the system seems to not be working. The issue is noted and will be fixed when I can get to it. Apologies.

  • 4/26/2024:

    • Made adaptive music system (only works in Nightfall Grove right now).
      • When the player walks around, a part of the song will fade in. When the player stops moving, a part of the music will fade out. A core part of the song will still play.
    • Added temporary pause music (which is just the main menu music).

  • 4/17/2024:

    • Added custom Nightfall Grove background music

  • 4/4/2024

    • Added UI that reminds the player how to navigate UI on gamepads.
      • pops up if they are in the main menu or pause menu trying to press buttons w/o the navigation system enabled.
    • Floating platforms in Nightfall Grove now wait for the player to jump onto the platform before moving.
    • Fixed issue where signs in Nightfall Grove did not have the correct dialogue for signs.

  • 4/3/2024:

    • Added Signs in Nightfall Grove to explain healing & checkpoints.
    • Added custom Grasslands background music composed by me (Reditect).
    • Added Mushroom NPCs around Nightfall Grove that give bits of dialouge
    • Signs now use one script for changing the ImagePrompt for when the player changes InputTypes.
    • Various saturation changes to objects in Nightfall Grove.

  • 4/1/2024:

    • Updated loading images for the hub world, Nightfall Grove, and Mt. Snowball.
    • Updated walking animation to match speed.
    • Changed JumpHeight from 58 to 60 to make jumping slightly more forgiving.
    • Changed distance the player can travel quickly slightly with the glide to balance movement options.
6/2024 Updates:

6/22/2024:

  • Updating digging to allow players to dig under any FloorMaterial.
    • I’m experimenting with this. I want the movement mechanic to be easy to understand and use, but I also don’t want people using the mechanic to glitch something. Will be sure to test as much as I can.
  • Begun work on new world Steampunk Zone

6/19/2024:

  • Mt. Snowball is complete! Specifically, I added NPCs to the area. Any updates to Mt. Snowball is likely minor from here on out. Onto the next world. :grin:
    • Also added badge for collecting all golden toast for Mt. Snowball and updated messages in Guidebook. Hope to make custom background music as soon as I can.

6/18/2024:

  • Various Updates to Mt. Snowball World
    • Buildings, lights, Bharal enemy, tower challenge, etc.
  • Added menu that shows all Golden Toast in each world and if the player has collected it.

6/10/2024:

  • Fixed issue where save files would have the same save data, specifically the 3rd save file.
  • Fixed issue where log at spawn in Grasslands would not load in.

6/8/2024:

  • Added badge for playing the game with a friend.
  • New data keys for this update. That means people lose their current save data for now. I can go back to old data, but need a way to make sure old systems don’t error based on new content. I’m looking into it.
  • Updated areas of the game that did not properly show the prompts based on InputType and Gamepad Controllers.
  • Updated Grasslands for a more simply and effective tutorial.
  • Fixed issue where PitchAdjustment being toggled off would cause the Active Camera to appear to toggled off in the settings.
  • Save/Loading data for Cosmetics Shop. This means buying things now properly takes coins away as well.
  • Added knockback for player and enemy for when they get damaged.
  • Added delay between when enemy could damage player.
  • Added platform that turns based on a cog like the one in Ty the Tasmanian Tiger. In the Testing world.
  • Disabled support for non-Qwerty keyboards.
    • I did this because Roblox’s current “solution” makes the text invisible for those who have Qwerty keyboards. I can’t do anything about this issue. When Roblox fixes the issue, I’ll add support back into the game. This does not impact Gamepad/Controller users. PS4 and Xbox prompts shall continue to properly show prompts.
7/2024 Updates:

7/27/2024:

  • Re-added swim down button on Mobile, it correctly shows up and goes away when in/out of water.
  • Fixed bug where wrong controls were shown to Mobile and Xbox players for swimming down.
  • Pausing the game now makes the current background music 1/4th the volume instead of having nothing playing. The volume goes back to normal after un-pausing or going to the Main Menu.
    • Also fixed some issues this cause, such as playing music from the Extras menu stopping music entirely. There’s a bug where the audio is normal after stopping music from the Extras menu, but I think I like that actually. It means, as a side effect, you can play any level you want with another world’s background music.

7/24/2024:

  • Added Onboarding Event checking to make sure players can’t spam the events
    • session locking and debounce for touched event connections
  • Fixed issue where animation for NPC in Steampunk Zone would not play

7/22/2024:

  • Added requirements/barriers to access Mt. Snowball (6 golden toast) and Steampunk Zone (9 golden toast).
    • I might change the requirements, but I think these are low enough numbers. I want players to work towards something in the game, this gives Golden Toast more meaning. That said, I don’t want players being forced into collecting everything if they don’t want to.
  • Fixed issue where Steampunk Zone badge wouldn’t get awarded when collecting all the Golden Toast for that world
  • Updated Nightfall Grove’s grass color to match the new texture/material changes for Grass.

7/20/2024:

  • Fixed issue where mobile players couldn’t sometimes interact with NPCs
  • Updated cosmetics shop UI so players can see the premium items fully
  • Added Roblox’s Onboarding Funnels events system (temporarily disabled till I stop it from spamming player info/events)

7/15/2024:

  • Released Steampunk Zone (yay!)
    • everything for the world is done except background music, will add when I can.
  • Added Roblox Premium cosmetic items
    • a Roblox premium world/level will be added eventually as well
  • Session-only speed running system for every world/level
    • the only requirements so far is entering a world and exiting it through the respective portals. I’m thinking of requiring all golden toast to be collected, but that means I need to make them recollectable. There is no data saving for your personal records and global records yet, but I hope to add it as soon as I can.
  • Other:
    • wrong camera for Jay Sign NPC for Steampunk Zone fixed
    • changed grass material texture (and colors for worlds to make sure they look fine)
  • Dev Note: The pirate cosmetics gamepass is postponed until I can get that kind of purchasing working 100%. I don’t want anyone buying anything and it not saving or it glitching out.
8/2024

8/4/2024:

  • Added Cosmetic Pack #1 - Arr! Purchase this gamepass (89 robux) to unlock the Pirate Hat and Skeleton Skull Necklace.
  • Added 3 new cosmetics that can be bought with in-game coins. Sunglasses, Headphones, and Durag.
  • Fixed bug where buying cosmetics didn’t actually update the total coin collected amount. This meant players could collect coins to reset their counts to amounts before cosmetic purchases.
  • Changed Golden Toast required to unlock different worlds (higher req.). This is for balancing reasons. Normal progression is now to play a world and progress to the next.

10/10/2024:

  • Fixed issue where volcano world enemies didn’t replicate their Heads, causing Roblox to not load them in properly.
  • Updated prompt UI for ease of updating based on custom keybinds
    • the actual updating of UI for prompts aren’t yet in the game

10/4/2024:

  • (10th) Added Autumn Beach World

10/22/2024:

  • Updated game name to be “PB the Flying Pig”. Marketing material has been updated to reflect this. The Press Kit has not been updated yet though.

10/19/2024:

  • Fixed issue where metal windup and many other cosmetics items could not be equipped

10/13/2024:

  • Updated all of PB’s animations
    • except for eye blinking because it doesn’t work with the rig and I’ve already spent 6+ hours remodeling, rigging, and animating. :smiley:

10/11/2024:

  • Changed “load game” text to “play game” from the main menu
  • Removed portals that aren’t unlockable in the game
  • Added invisible walls to stop players from accessing certain areas in Mt. Snowball and Steampunk Zone
  • Made a waterfall in Hub World longer to match water
  • Moved water in Nightfall Grove swimming area to be more realistic (exits to the water are unrealistic still as I want a player to be able to backtrack without remaking that section)
  • Fixed issue where digging in Nightfall Grove in a certain area would cause players to go under a bridge
  • Fixed issue where players couldn’t dig in Steampunk Zone
  • Slowed down the spinner in Volcano World
  • Changed location of Golden Toast in Autumn Beach from the water cave to a new location
  • Move waterfall at Grasslands World so people on low graphics see it fully

12/28/2024:

  • Added cutscene at beginning of game for save files where the tutorial has no been completed

  • Added a system that makes the player lose 5 coins on death w/ death screen UI animation

11/5/2024:

  • Fixed various collision issues based on the player character Torso not having a MeshId.
    • I’ve now switched the Torso to a BasePart and digging functionality has remained intact
  • Fixed issue where accessories would not animate correctly for the new rig for the player character
  • Fixed issue where Premium and Paid cosmetics items could not be equipt
  • Updated enemies to stop attacking the player when in dialogue or when the game is paused
  • Mobile players now continue to sprint after gliding if they were sprinting before they glided
  • Changed how the Mushroom Bounce Pad works.
    • This fixed the issue where players could not bounce if they jumped. However, there is now a new issue where there’s a slight delay in the player’s ability to jump after bouncing. From my testing, I do not see this as fixable.

5/17/2025:

  • Updated intro cutscene to have a page-turning aesthetic & work for all languages
  • Changed requirements for unlocking different levels to be slightly lower
  • slight updates to boss fight attacks & 3rd attack is a spike-crystal thing

  • Other updates between 2/28/2025 and this update:
    • Keyboard prompts in-world now update based on your keybinds set in the options menu

      • I don’t think a health pick-up is the right idea.
    • Fixed issue where bulls in Nightfall Grove spawned in the wrong location.
    • Begun boss fight work.
      • Attack 1 - lava wall (done)
      • Attack 2 - Ram towards player (WIP)
      • Attack 3 - no idea what it’ll be yet (WIP)

2/28/2025:

  • Pushed most recent version (not sure if or what changed other than the stuff I mention below)
  • Update GuidebookUI to include all descriptions of current GoldenToast in the game
  • Removed global leaderboard UI for world timers. I didn’t have code on the backend for that, just the UI. If I add the feature in the future, I’ll have to find a way to protect it from exploiting.
  • Now using “future” lighting as Roblox isn’t letting me keep Terrain textures looking the way I want without higher graphical stuff. In short, the game looks slightly different visually.

6/17/2025:

  • Added
    • End of boss fight with story, resetting logic, and leaving after defeating the boss
    • Background boss music to the boss fight & to the Extras Menu
  • Fixed bug where changing the camera back to normal from the storybook would cause errors in Roblox’s internal camera code. Fixed by making sure angles are within a certain range, which was really just tilting everything by 90 degrees.

6/7/2025:

  • Fixed bug where player could pause and be in the shop at the same time (in most cases)
  • Fixed bug where the collected all golden toast sound effect would play for all players instead of just the one player

  • Fixed bug where player gets stuck on the gliding sign in Grasslands
  • Fixed bug where players could not scroll the donate leaderboard
    • only fixed on not having touch-based input
  • Fixed bug where the prompt image for pausing would not show if you were using ps5 remote or a touch-enabled device, and then switched to keyboard-based input
  • Updated coin counter UI pop-in and out to say open for twice as long
    • This makes coin amounts more noticeable

5/25/2025:

  • Fixed issues where players could reach portals they didn’t unlock by going on top of the hub world terrain
  • Added various custom sound effects to enemies and objects
  • Added digging attack!
    • Nothing to attack with it yet, but activate it by pressing the jump button while digging.

5/20/2025:

  • Changed the requirement to unlock the Volcano World to 26 Golden Toast instead of 24
    • So players have to play each level at least once before going to that world
  • Changed prices for Cosmetic Items to be 15 Coins instead of 10
  • General updates to boss fight logic // not done yet
  • Fixed the issue where the boss attacked #3…
    • could hurt the player multiple times

7/4/2025:

  • Added homes for the NPCs in Steampunk Zone
  • Changed LightingStyle of the game to Soft!
    • This means my game looks more like I want it to, soft shadows/lighting, and how the Terrain looks stylistically. This change comes because a part of a bug was fixed by Roblox with Terrain.

  • Updated water, zipline, and other game logic to replace ZonePlus and instead use the Zones module by azavier123
  • Added idle animation for the Bharal enemy in Mt. Snowball

  • Fixed an issue where portals would not teleport the player
  • (internal) Moved npc & enemy bones to HumanoidRootPart that were one mesh and a set of bones

6/27/2025:

  • Made the Volcano World badge (for collecting all Golden Toast in the world) work
  • Fixed some unneeded warnings and checks with loading custom keybinds
  • Removed internal code and logic for the Premium-based world for the game
    • This is because a world can take a month+ to make, and there’s no reason to in this case now that Roblox is removing Premium Payouts. I’d rather work on another DLC, in addition to the one I’m working on right now.
    • The premium benefits that are already in the game will stay as they are, but it is unlikely that new content will be made for that specific audience.

7/16/2025:

  • Updated hub world with Volcano world assets to add life to that area, and made a tunnel behind the waterfall :D/
  • Updated most loading screen image thumbnails
  • Crab robot enemy (dig-based attack enemy) process on Twitter. 3D modeling & rigging done, need to add animation and code.

      • Note that for NPC dialogue, you can always press ‘space’ or the button noted on screen to skip the animation for dialogue

    • fixed issues where Roblox CoreUI would cover Pause Menu & Cosmetics shop text in some situations
    • Fixed scrollbar for donation not allowing scrolling.

  • Added robot crab enemy into Autumn Beach world
    • lot of animation for this one

8/20/2025:

  • Updated info sign logic to:

    • Enemy animations not stopping when they stop detecting you while you’re digging
