Golden Frootcake Finals this Saturday

Tuesday, January 6, 2009

The quest for the Golden Frootcake ends this weekend. Come to the Frootcake Diner Saturday 2PM Pacific to witness five people pass cakes until they pass out! Okay, it won't last that long. Just three games. The winner will earn a Golden Frootcake trophy, and a spot on the Procyon Games website.


Come cheer on your favorites! Plus, I'll be spinning tunes live on the air! It's Frootcake fun for the whole family.

The final event, where the Golden Frootcake will be awarded, will be held sometime next week (I need to coordinate a time for all the finalists to make it). I'll post again when the details are complete.

Roll them bones!

Do you need a little more randomness in your life? How about a pair of dice?


These red lovelies are my freebie for January. They're based on the dice from my latest release Can't Stop (actually, the Can't Stop dice were based off of these. It was the first part of the game that I made).

Rez them, click them, watch them tumble. Guaranteed to give you a pseudo-random result between 2 and 12.

You can pick up your own copy at the Freebies table at Procyon Games.

Can't Stop v1.03 Update

Tuesday, December 30, 2008

I've released version 1.03 of Can't Stop. It's free to all registered owners. Here are the release notes:

  • FIXED If the current player leaves the game for any reason, the game will skip to the next player (so the game doesn't hang).
  • NEW There is a Help Card included in the box, which has some simplified rules to get new players started. You won't get the help card if you upgrade your game. If you want the new card you'll have to get a whole new box, by touching the Can't Stop vendor.
  • NEW There is a new audio and visual indicator on your HUD when it's your turn.
  • FIXED The yellow and orange playing pieces are easier to tell apart
  • NEW All scripts have been recompiled into Mono
  • FIXED The camera view when you sit down has been pulled back a bit
  • NEW There is a Get HUD button directly on the table, so you don't have to go through the Help menu to get a new HUD
  • FIXED The game would malfunction if you rotated it after rezzing.
  • NEW The game tells you your world ranking when you sit down.
Game owners can upgrade by ordering a new copy through their remote control ("/8 deliver game") or by visiting Procyon Games and touching the Can't Stop vendor there.

New Take it Easy Solo Challenge v2.14

Saturday, December 20, 2008

Someone found an exploit in the Take it Easy Solo Challenge.


For those of you not familiar with the game, Take it Easy comes in three flavors. All versions of the game have the players placing tiles on a hex game board, trying to align colors along three separate axes. The Solo Challenge version features a progressive jackpot. You get the same tiles each time you play, but every play costs you $50. The money all goes to a networked jackpot, and the person who first finds the best arrangement of tiles wins the jackpot.

Anyone can pick up a Solo version at my store for $10. Rez it on your land and let people play. If someone wins the jackpot while using your machine, you get a cut.

If you had a Solo Challenge rezzed on your land, you may notice that it has disappeared. Because of the exploit I've had to do an emergency update. Please come to my store to pick up a new, updated version (or just ask me and I'll give you one).

Golden Frootcake Competition

Do you think you're the best Frootcake player in the world?


The Frootcake Diner has been accepted into the Winterfest celebration. And we're having a contest to compete for the Golden Frootcake award. The contest is simple. It works like an ordinary Frootcake tournament. All during Winterfest, you can play as many games as you want at the Frootcake Diner. Every game you play will add points to your tournament score. The top scorers are displayed on the leader board at the diner. After Winterfest is over, the top 5 players will compete in one more game for the Golden Frootcake!

Frootcake v1.14 Update

Sunday, December 14, 2008

Special thanks to Valentine Janus who found a critical bug in Frootcake that affected everyone except me, and NonSmokerGirl Tulip who helped test the fix. Frootcake 1.13 had a very serious bug that would cause the game to stop spitting out cakes in the middle of a game, and generate script errors for every game after that. All owners should upgrade to 1.14, via the usual methods (you can get a new game with your remote or through a vendor).
