The goal with puzzles making use of that switch is to hit multiple switches in a row by making use of the different kinds of effects the switch can have on a ball. It’s a new kind of switch that gets activated when a ball flies through it and changes the properties of the ball itself. One of those new mechanics is currently being implemented by Lachsen. This is quite the task but we’re currently planning out a lot of ideas and how they can be used in different scenarios. New puzzle mechanicsĬrossCode will have a variety of puzzle mechanics and we want to use a certain set of similar ideas and combine them in clever ways. We’re also planning to display the changelog on the games website with the next release, so you can get a peek at what has changed. With this we also hope that people can tell us if we missed something when updating the game since it’s not shown in the changelog. Here you can see all changes for all versions of the game or display the latest changes in a compiled list. Since we will do early access for CrossCode (yes, we’re doing it!) I added a change log interface to the title screen. Only 4 more seconds and Lea can use an item again! Changelog

Using 3 buffs at the same time! Notice that you can see the current number of buffs on the bottom of the item selection.

Lea uses a healing potion (Effects and Animations are still WIP) Here are some pictures to show you how it looks: The time decreases much faster outside of combat so you can prepare yourself for tougher battles. However using items, comes with a small cooldown time display below your HUD. You can use up to 4 buffs at the same time over the course of the game. An item can have various effects, such as healing a certain percentage of you maximum health or boosting your stats. We finally reached the stage where you can actually use items in the game! The feature didn’t quite make into the demo but I finally did it and it’s going to be in the next release! Items can be used via the quick menu we presented in Update #57.

We planned out a lot of content not only for the game but also for the upcoming crowd-funding event. We took quite the large break from writing updates but that does not mean we stopped improving and working on CrossCode! On the contrary.

Kept you waiting, huh
