Version 1.0.2

Version 1.0.2

Admin

Welcome, Snail Trainers!

Thank you for joining us so early on in our Snail Racing adventure! We know there isn’t much to do around here just yet, but we are working on adding new features to the game, and we appreciate you helping us to test out what we’ve made already!

Version 1.0.2 is here! It’s not a huge update, but it adds a few little tweaks that we think you’ll like. But first, what about v1.0.0 and v1.0.1? What did we do there?

v1.0.0

This was the first version of the game that went live- although you would only have seen a ‘Coming Soon’ page during this version. The reason for that was a hilarious game breaking bug that we overlooked.

You’ll notice that, in your “My Snails” page, you’ll see two tabs: One tab for your active Snails, and a second tab for Snail’s who have retired from your roster. In this version of the game, your “My Snails” page would have been empty, because new Snails were being generated without their “is_retired” flag. Because of this, the game didn’t know whether to display your Snails in the “active” or “retired” tab, so it just didn’t display them at all.

v1.0.1

Quite simply, we made sure new snails were set to “not retired” which allowed them to appear in the “My Snails” page.

v1.0.2

Now, what new additions and tweaks are in this latest update? Let’s have a look!

Bug Fixes:

  • Consumable items that give a stat boost now work instead of returning an error.
  • Trying to adopt a new Snail when you don’t have a new coin no longer displays a success message.

Tweaks:

  • Your notification count now updates without you needing to refresh the page.
  • Your notifications now display new notifications without you needing to refresh the page.
  • Instead of notifications being shown on a separate page, they now live in a sliding panel you can view from any page.

Additions:

  • Added the beginnings of trainer pages!
    • You can click on a trainers name in race results to view all their Snails.
    • We will add more to trainer pages in the future.
  • Added a wishing well to Town Square!
    • Throw in a coin, cross your fingers, and maybe you’ll get something good!
    • Right now, you can receive coins, a random cosmetic for your Snail, or even a stat boost for one of your Snails.
  • Added a park your snail can walk through!
    • It’s free, your Snail will love it, and you never know what you might find there…

That’s all for this small update. But we want to keep adding more stuff for you to do! Expect updates to be little and often in these first few weeks at least. Let us know what you’d like to see!
