  The Future of Marvellous Inc.

  Hey there loyal employees, my name is Debora from Marvellous Inc. H.R. bringing exciting news that will affect your dreams and wallet in ways you might get confused about! Marvellous Inc. is more than 3 years old now, and in this long journey we have met wonderful people (that probably includes you!) who played, improved, laughed, cried, and above all, had a slightly above average joyous time with our game. For everyone that joined us in this journey so far, we from the Marv Family say a warm and fuzzy THANK YOU As you know, Marvellous Inc. is all about bold innovation, and with innovation comes courage. The courage to innovate, and be boldly courageous on every piece of innovation. That’s why we have decided to do what no company has the grit to do: We have made Marvellous Inc. cost more to customers. That's right. We have a planned price increase scheduled for early 2022. This means that our profit margins will go up, our workers will get no wage increase, and our shareholders will finally be able to afford that third yacht they’ve always dreamed of! All thanks to you, our loyal employees. So, again. Thank you. Truly. But if you are one of the unlucky few who hadn’t yet bought MarvInc, or are anxious that all your holiday gift plans will be ruined by this news, don't worry! Marvellous Inc. will be part of exciting new sales until the end of the year! We believe that everyone that would love our game already has bought it for the stupidly low-price we had set for more than 3 years, but in case you haven’t, well, you have a few weeks left. As a friendly reminder (coming from our lawyers), Marvellous Inc. is an open-source game, and you can download the latest release at our Github Repository for free. Buying the game on Steam is your way of saying to us “hey, thanks for the game, I want you to make more of those AND have money to buy food every week”. But that’s not all, we have other exciting news: we are planning a special bundle of open-source puzzle games to be ...

  Marvellous Inc. v1.4.1

  A few bugfixes on this update, all related to custom levels. Changelog: - On custom levels, different test cases generate different values of random numbers (but consistently the same numbers on the same test case) - Custom level emails don't show up as not-completed anymore - Show custom puzzle errors on startup. That means if you're writing a level and it is badly formatted, you will understand why instead of it simply not showing up. The process is still not as smooth as it could be. - It is now possible to access the index of the test case being ran on your custom puzzle using the TEST_CASE constant Carry on fellow employees
