You can now travel through the wishlist vortex after killing the boss.

Wishlists will eventually be enemies in Act 2.

Coming soon (before Act 2):

• If a game is installed, filenames will drop on the floor like blood, when enemies die

• If a game takes up a lot of disk space and it is currently installed, it becomes a new unique enemy

Noticed some UI issues with Steam Deck, also the hints and shop weren't working for controllers.

This is now fixed.

I even added a virtual keyboard when searching for friends in Big Picture mode or on the Steam Deck.

btw I've been working on Act 2, which will introduce Wishlist enemies, more to come soon!

Introducing, "Global Average Invaders":

It used to be that if a player doesn't have enough games to make it to the boss, then the boss will spawn early... but now...

Global Average Invaders drop in to attack when you run out of games! these enemies are based on the most frequent occurrences of games within the average playtime of 2hrs (based on the current database)

So, even if your games list is small, you can still get the most out of the game!

Also in this update:

• Spectator/Royalty stands are no longer simple shape stairs, they're a proper stair model object (albeit, low res)

• Recreated the courtyard, stone landscape blends to grass; gaming stone statues scatter the area

• Gold statue of the list's most played game is now in the centre of the courtyard

• transition to the darkness of the graveyard is now significantly more gradual

• Rubble is now cleared when powerups are picked up

• Removed the (You) for the authenticated user's name in friend's list

• Added warning text for the playtest build, recommending that users play the demo instead

• Players auto equip the mouse when picking it up now (to prevent issues when people can't work out how to swap weapons)

• Ninjas now spawn closer, and stay visible for longer

• Rebound Bullet Time from 'Left Shift' to 'E' (some people instinctively use shift for sprint)

• Allow Bullet Time to run for 10 attacks before it deactivates (so people experience it instead of accidentally deactivating it when attacking - It is sooo much better this way, more particles to play with!)

• New users now see an aura around the keyboard / mouse that they need to pickup (thanks to that big time Russian streamer: derzko69, who rage quit because he couldn't find the keyboard)

• Added $ resource, you gain the initial cost of the games you kill in $

• Added the "Gaben Stop" shop, where you can purchase a Gaming Keyboard (blocks unblockable etc) or Gaming Mouse (launches rocket arrows etc). more items will be available later on

Exclusive update will go live on December 10, to coincide with the Frosty Mini Showcase!

I'm under embargo at the moment, so can't say any more - it will be a major update.

Stay tuned!

Graveyard shows the enemies you have killed in the current run, as ghosts (it will be used for other things in the future)

Also, trigger to start next wave is now a choice of 3 powerups (same as when restarting, but the powerups now stack per wave)

Plans to create around 10 unique powerups that will show up randomly as the three to choose from.

Coming up in the next update:

Using the most unplayed games from the database to fill up lists that don't have enough games to get to the boss...

Then later:

End of Act 1 Shop and Dungeon, then I'll start work on Act 2 (Wishlists!)

Happy Halloween!

Game Quest теперь полностью переведен на русский язык!

Considering over 70% of the game's wishlists are from Russian speaking countries, I think it's best to support my user base. Game Quest is now fully translated, with text and narration, Big thanks to @Overbess in the discord channel (join here to thank him, or correct his translations ;) --> https://discord.gg/a5jpD4WF3j)

If the game doesn't auto-detect the language on-load (which it might not if you don't live in Russia) you can change the language in the Settings, by pressing the \[Esc] key:

So, it seems over the last few days, bosses have been exploding as soon as they spawn.

I set it up this way to test the endgame popup, and it looks like I forgot to take it out :|

Feel free to try again for all those who had it far too easy. (although you might end up rage quitting with the real boss...)

Planned release date (for Early Access) Q1 2026!

Play the demo! Always welcome to feedback :)

this should make it a bit easier for people playing for the first time
