GMG! Patch, Release Plans, Ruins Of The Human Temple (Patreon)

Hi everyone! Hope you all have had a chance to play Growing My Grandpa! (and that you enjoyed it!!) I am putting up a new build with a few tweaks probably most importantly the autosave system has been removed and now you can manually save.

CONTENT CREATORS/STREAMERS/VIDEO MAKERS

The public release of the game will be on Friday, April 15th! The embargo will be lifted a day before then on Thursday, April 14th. Thanks for your cooperation!

I want the public-facing release to have the correct credits for all of my patrons so once again, if you want to opt-out of the credits or if you want your credited name changed (the current credits feature your patreon username) please fill out this form:

Here are some notes regarding the updated version:

Growing My Grandpa! v1.9.3

Major Changes

Manual Save- I added a manual save that can be seen at the main enclosure screen (the one that gives you your current grandpa objectives) note that if you already have save data you will be asked if it’s OK to overwrite it. Also note that because of the way Gamemaker Studio 2 handles .ini files, even if you delete your last version of Growing My Grandpa! you will still have save data from the old version when you boot up the new one. You will probably still see a continue button on the main menu, if you load that save it will probably be pretty buggy so it’s safer to just start anew!

Removal Of Autosave - I put this in as a stopgap until I could implement saving at the enclosure status screen, with that done I have removed this!

Grandpa Food Re-balancing- It was possible to softlock yourself on Week 4 by not having enough food for Grandpa. Now Grandpa needs less food and I have added two more foodstuffs that spawn in the basement so you always have an option to provide Grandpa with new food.

Minor Changes

-All audio is now in Stereo! If you were having audio problems before this may fix them.

-Vocabulary Teaching Bug fixes

-A few more audio files added

If any bugs come up please contact me here or on discord!

In the coming weeks I will be finishing Ruins Of The Human Temple and getting it out to you all. I’ll also be uploading the Growing My Grandpa! OST for you all too at some point, just gotta do some quick mixing and mastering.

Thanks again for your continued support, I’m really happy with the feedback I’ve gotten on Growing My Grandpa! especially considering its a much bigger project than anything I’ve done before and sort of a different tone than my other games. Not as cold maybe. Don’t worry though, if you’re a cold fan, there’s some coldness coming!

Yours In Games,

Yames
