1.2 Rebuild!
Hi Froggy Peeps!It's been a while hasn't it?!1.1.1 came out over a year ago!Now it's time for 1.2! So what has changed in this build? In short a lot and nothing!New Gallery!The Gallery in Bubble Frog DX was a way to show the love of Bubble Frog from Kickstarter Backers to Fan Artists and it has gotten an overhaul. Now it runs better (allowing for a fancy pants video screen!), a new layout, and some little Onigiri hiding around the place!Godot All The Way!Originally Bubble Frog DX released wrapped in "Bubble Wrap" a super handy tool for getting Game Boy ROMs into execuitables to be playable smoothly. The wrapper was web based, as a result the Gallery (which was still made in Godot) had to use the Web Export version, meaning it was much more limited on power. As a result the gallery chugged for weaker computers and I was limited on what I could do in it. Now the whole game runs in Godot from the ground up, this time using the amazing GodotBoy plugin to run the game its self.This means things should run better, the file size should be smaller, and this allows for a planned 1.3 which will include more goodies!Bubble Wrap is still an awesome tool (made by Friend of myself and Bubble Frog, Mooon.Bit) and without it Bubble Frog DX would have never seen the light of day but for my needs it was time for a change at the core of the software :)Same Fun Game!This is the 'and nothing' part of that earlier blerb. Bubble Frog DX, the Game Boy Color title hasn't changed in this build. It is still the same fun and frustrating game you bought! The emulator running it is updated (Shout out to GodotBoy!) allowing for some handy features like the ability to return to the Gallery, change the games volume, and reboot the emulator. Linux!Bubble Frog DX has been playable on Linux since the start thanks to Proton but now if you're running Linux/SteamOS you'll download a native Linux build!So that's about it! This isn't SUPER exciting for anyone beyond myself I'm sure, but this does prep Bubb...Read full article on Community Announcements (Timbo)AnnouncementsOfficial
1.1 Is Live
Hi all! First one of these, feels weird to be posting to a Steam Page and not a social media account or something, this is all so new to me! Anywho! Bit of an update today! ːpraisesunː We've released Version 1.1! ːpraisesunː Here's the patch notes: ADDED Controls before entering the Gallery to make movement more clear ADDED some simple tips before entering the gallery too. ADDED Controls before entering the Bubble Frog DX ROM ADDED the ability to ALT+Enter to toggle between Full Screen and Window Mode (I gather window mode is super useful for Streamers!) ADDED credit to the awesome Mooon.Bit who's help made Bubble Frog DX even possible! FIXED a typo on the Executive Producers list. FIXED the mouse pointer breaking free of the game and causing all kinds of issues in the Gallery for Mouse and Keyboard users. FIXED Some Portraits and Fanart not showing up correctly when their info plate was examined. Hope this makes the game more accessible to everyone! :D Also the game is able to go live on Steam for Sale as soon as it has been approved by Steams review process, so it won't be long till everyone gets access to the game! Wheeeee! -TimboRead full article on Community Announcements (Timbo)
