0.5.9 Release Canditate Testing

hhyyrylainen · July 9, 2022, 12:59pm

0.5.9 is approaching so it is time to do the usual pre-release testing. Note that this time we expect to break save compatibility between the rc1 and 0.5.9 release. So either don’t put too much time into saves with the RC or be mentally prepared to not be able to load them in 0.5.9. With that out of the way some of the most major things you’ll see are the engulfment revamp, procedural patch map, cilia, and continued work on the prototypes. Of course there’s a bunch more other changes included as well.

Also available as the beta version from Steam and itch.

As always testing should focus on major bugs, especially crashes. And we’ll try to fix them before 0.5.9 is released. We already know quite a few small and a bit bigger (auto-evo getting slower than before, especially with the larger new maps) issues we’ll try to fix.

I’ll just add that I’m particularly interested in two things:

Feedback on the difficulty presets in new game settings. Let me know if easy, normal and hard are as difficult as they should be, and if you use the custom view to find a configuration that you feel fits one of these better, please share.
How often the Easter egg spawns. Let me know if you see one and how long you’ve been playing to get to it. You’ll know when you see it.

doomlightning · July 9, 2022, 2:20pm

the now what i tested:

hard mode if hard, especially if u start in the warm litle pools
it see like the spread of the cells if u die right after u enter a new patch, make some of the play not ez to deal.
this stuff:

4. I don’t feel like the G key (ingecden) of the AI have adapt to the new one. they just give up after they toght the object

but over all, its feel very fresh and exsiding

I dest it to 500 million so far

edit:

the spawn just madness

SimoneNobili · July 9, 2022, 2:22pm

I don’t know if it’s intentional, but the “Sound → Music volume” option also affects the gallery background music AND music samples.

Also (this is my opinion) I think the gallery background music is too loud and distracting, and gets especially messy if you’re trying to listen to the audio samples.

Edit: my mistake, it doesn’t affect the music samples.

Mac version does not work. It tells me that the “Thrive” is damaged and cannot be opened.

hhyyrylainen · July 9, 2022, 2:38pm

You’ll need to be a bit of an experienced mac user to get Thrive to work there. I think the first step is that you should not use Apple’s zip extraction software as it makes the game unrunnable.

Null · July 9, 2022, 2:46pm

I tried out the release candidate. First off: found the easter egg bout 20minutes in easter-egg — ImgBB
second ill start talking about the release candidate: Easy mode feels rather similar to normal mode. Playing the hardest possible (setting every setting to the hardest) feels like a fun challenge. I love the new parts. The game actually feels a lot funner than before.
Also it took me a minute to figure out the patch map.

doomlightning · July 9, 2022, 2:47pm

I think i found a bug then I put a binding aighnt on my cell (I succufly make the bug 2 time)

Playing about fifteen minutes, found the easter egg. Also bug wise, can go to -5 MP in the fluidity/rigity slider if you move your cursor onto the extremes with less then the amount it would need. Also following a patch extinction the population meter on the right is showing a population of 0.

aah31415 · July 9, 2022, 3:11pm

Btw, how does macroscopic gameplay look like?

sci0927 · July 9, 2022, 3:30pm

you are able to survive with thermosythesis alone

SimoneNobili · July 9, 2022, 3:30pm

I don’t think this one is a bug

yeah its possible but really only makes sense in the hydrothermal vents

The icon for ingested material is temporary, right?

There is no gameplay yet, just the 3D editor prototype

Something’s weird. I got to 20 cells but it wouldn’t show the “become macroscopic” sign. Anyone else with this problem?

hhyyrylainen · July 9, 2022, 4:14pm

Did you play in freebuild? You still can’t advance stages in freebuild. Did you actually get into multicellular even? You have to be multicellular before you can become macroscopic.
