  User Interface Overhaul, and fixing level 4-9!!

  Hey everybody! It's been a while! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43343704/24d29d0bb18b8d8f864703496d57970b9ede4016.png Although we've been hard at work on our new project, we didn't want to leave FaceValue without any love. So we decided to spend a little time giving the user interface a much needed facelift, and making a few adjustments to the difficulty in later levels after some feedback. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43343704/d286e7b68f301fbdab2ced4de65d49a02034725d.png Hopefully these changes will make for a smoother experience for anyone playing! Thanks again to everyone who bought our little puzzle game! It means to world! Shay, Signing Off! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43343704/2784dc2af50fcaee88a426378dbf0e70acc0933e.jpg

  Hey there! Shay here again with a quick FaceValue update, some patch notes, and a small teaser for our next project! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43343704/d286e7b68f301fbdab2ced4de65d49a02034725d.png First up, Steam Achievements! Whilst we've been busy working away on our new project, we thought it would be nice to go back to FaceValue for the Summer Sale and tidy up a few bits and pieces, and add in achievements so that there is a little more value for anyone new who picks it up, or anyone that's already supported us. Patch Notes Added Steam Integration and Achievements Added more detailed options menu Fixed custom cursor not displaying Fixed audio issues in Hub levels Fixed various visual glitches {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43343704/384393d76c3b6d3dc52fb719c3544dafaeb48379.jpg And now, I'd like you to meet "Agoh the Engineer" The first character from our new game, who as you can probably guess, comes from the same world in which FaceValue is set. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43343704/a2ea2d774bada2bfb0423a2e8d54398811896e56.png He also seems pretty excited about the sale, judging by that cube! We're excited to share more about our next project and the larger world that encompasses both it and FaceValue in the near future! Thanks for reading!

  Introducing The Team

  Woooo, we're a little behind with this stuff. Game's been out for just over three weeks. Whoops. Better start with introductions I guess. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43343704/2784dc2af50fcaee88a426378dbf0e70acc0933e.jpg Hi, we're Sure Why Not? A new studio based in Northern Ireland. Founded by Shay Truffitt (Me!) & Tom Cuthbertson in August last year, we're a small studio with a goal of making focused experiences with a fun core mechanic, for people to enjoy from the moment they pick it up. Tom is the Lead Programmer and Game Designer, and I'm the Lead Game Designer and Technical Artist, but we switch things up from time to time. We're a company of only two for now, though we worked with some amazing and talented people on this game. Speaking of, let's talk about it and them. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43343704/47b5f048353985fc5f2318b39c857eab51644201.png FaceValue is our first game. We started developing it originally for a game jam before we even formed the company. Tom and I met during a games industry course provided by our local screen agency NI Screen about 2 years ago, and after working for a short period with a couple of local companies (Out Of Tune and Brain & Nerd! Look 'em up) we heard about an opportunity with NI Screen to help fund new companies, a platform called MiniGame. Tom asked me if I wanted to join him in forming a company and applying, so we formed Sure Why Not? and we applied. We decided to do the Game Makers Toolkit game jam as a practice run working together, and so that we would have a little demo of some kind ready for our presentation/interview. The theme of the jam was "Roll of the Dice", and FaceValue was born. We had a small but pretty cool demo (that's still available on Itch in it's jam form by the way) and it helped us get on MiniGame. The initial stages of the platform involved prototyping two new ideas, so we decided to put FaceValue aside and test out some new games (Crazy Taxi-like but you're a bellhop anyone?). Ultimately, we couldn't help but ...
