A small 5.13 Update has just been released, the Windows version is taking ages for some reason to download, but here is the folder for those interested in the mac version and READMEs:


For some reason, Patreon is downloading the Windows version with 200 KB/s, while everything else was done instantly ... I will create a proper post and update report as soon as this slow ass Windows version has downloaded and uploaded to my Google Drive. Should maybe take 50 minutes, give or take.

Lola Gameover Art FullRes.jpg

Latest Release: Max the Elf ♂ V5.13 (LOLA update) FOR PC & MAC.


Small new update for Max the Elf! Lola now spawns in level 1!

NEW THIS UPDATE:
- Lola has been added to level 1!
- We also are testing a new system: Some enemies now increase the struggle bar if you reach 50% of your excitement and it transitions to scene 2. Lola is one of them!
- New timeup screen for level 5 added!

Old info:

MOBILE USERS:

This is a bit of an important announcement. As you know we struggle a lot with getting the mobile version properly working each new update. Everytime the game gets bigger, there seem to be more and more problems on mobile. So from now on I'm sorry but we will do the following:
We will stop releasing mobile updates until the game is fully completed and ready for one big proper effort to convert the game to mobile.

As compensation for mobile users:
I made a set of quality videos that can be played and watched on your mobile device, without having to play the game.
This was released here:

If you find new bugs or problems:
We have a channel on discord (#playtester comments) where you can post your thoughts and findings, You can also message me directly about big bugs but I mostly prefer to be contacted on the discord server.

- Troubleshooting:
Questions about opening a .ZIP file and other technical problems are explained in the WINDOWS README.txt or MAC file below! Any special problems or questions: ask us in the discord.

great game and art, bit disappointed in the resolution... even at 1080p which i'd consider to be the bare minimum for desktop nowadays its blurry, and zooming in is awful. maybe the goal was for a retro game feel and you're not supposed to play full screen (even tho for me just pressing f11 puts it full screen, not sure what all the fuss about needing mods for that is), but still it takes away from what is otherwise a fun game with great art.

i'm looking into upscaling the assets with something like waifu2x. i found that can open the resources.assets, extract individual textures, let you replace them with larger ones, and edit the individual sprite's options so it can still render at the correct size. from what i've found, need to multiply by how much the texture was scaled: m_Rect.width/height, m_RD.textureRect.width/height and m_RD.uvTransform.y/w (this also as a bit of a note to myself so i dont forget lol). i couldnt find much about doing so programmatically from a script, but havent tried much yet, i'll give it a shot in the coming days. open to ideas if anyone is more experienced with UABE.

edit: turns out UABE lets you select multiple items to export at once from the GUI, should be doable then. working on upscaling the textures now.

edit: UABE Avalonia seems to have serious memory leaks and issues batch importing textures, i cant import more than 100 textures before it runs out of memory, for some large textures even 5 at a time is too much and need to restart the program, after which the asset bundle is corrupted anyway. thankfully the filename format is compatible with the original UABE and that works like a charm (had issues with the 64bit version, 2.2 32bit version works great).

edit: looks like some textures are done wildly different than others and getting all of them scaled correctly is way too much work, im throwing in the towel.

thanks (but it's look like game over art are not here or i didn't find it)
I decompiled the game for personal reasons, so I got all the game over screens from the game's assets and put them into an archive:


If someone is able to and wants to put it in the original post too, be my guest, it's all game over screens up to v5.13, and the old level 5 time up screen (also, it has the Lynx game over screen too, so keep that in mind)
