What’s new? Release notes 6/23/2011

Changes in Cheese! We've made changes in what Cheese does when you interact with it. Some effects of the cheese were just too much, so we’ve lessened them. You will find now, that Sniffing your Cheese gives you less mood, gives you less xp and costs less energy. There’s now a chance you may sniff your Cheese or your Very Very Stinky Cheese away altogether! Poking Very Stinky Cheese will now cause your cheese to revert back to Stinky Cheese.

Changes in Sneezing and Sparkly powder! We’ve noticed that while we love to party as much as the next Glitch, a lot of Sneezing Powder and Sparkly Powder while partying does not make a party great, therefore, changes have been made to ensure that your enjoyment will not be hindered due to too much of a good thing.

No-No Powder: The Rush and Crash time length has been reduced in this test in order to balance the effect in game play.

Mail: Do you find yourself tapping your toe at the mailbox, anxiously awaiting much needed items to arrive with regular mail? We’ve changed the way Glitch to Glitch mail is sent so now you have the option for a mere 100 currants to send urgent messages and items via Express mail! We also made some changes to the interface of the message window of your inbox to clean it up a bit- you can now select messages to mark as unread, and also delete without going back into the message.

Mute: We know you love the sounds of our lovely effects and music as much as we do, but if your Glitch is in need of some quiet time, or just is in the mood to push buttons- tada! We offer you a shiny little mute button! It’s right below your sound controls that you can access from the very top of your game window.

Teleportation Tokens: We know how much you love to travel! You can now purchase teleportation tokens with credits! These tokens allow you to travel instantly without loss of energy!

  • does no-no REALLY have to be this short? 

    it's, like, REALLY quick. Like, 45 seconds.

    And it makes me sad :(

  • As far as lesser, unmentioned changes go, was it intentional to make chickens unsqueezable while they are flying?

  • I'd like to hear sounds from the focusing orb, while blocking the background music, which sorry I do NOT love one tiny bit.

  • Cupcake: it would only be 45 seconds if you've already done it four times that day :)

    Merton: no changes were made to chickens.

    Teena: the background music should fade out while the meditation music plays — is that not what's happening for you?

  • No-no should kill you if you've already done it 4 times that day, lol.

  • Stoot - I have the background music turned right down, I dont like it, way too monotonous for me. The music blocks still play and I can hear them but not the focusing orb.

  • Chickens:  Interactions have changed, you can no longer engage with a chicken mid air, flying chickens have no menu for action until they hit the ground.

  • Yay! We can use the map/tokens to teleport again! Thank you soooooo much for adjusting the Tele skill levels to enable this wonderful means of flitting around Ur.

  • ohhhh. I see; thanks, stoot.

    Well, seeing as I'm a major addict, looks like I'll be changing my ways drastically.

  • My no-no fueled cheese aging money faucet has been nerfed! I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those darn kids! :-)

  • Butterflies and chickens can be set free now also

  • Divine... Butterflies and chickens could be set free during the last test.  =)

    Were fireflies tweaked? I seem much more likely to catch 7 (rather than 4, 5, or 6) now than in previous tests! If so, thank you very much!!

  • I don't know if this has been suggested, but it would be nice to be able to see where I have been before on the map. Have it a different color, or outlined, or some other way of telling. The place is so big that I find myself forgetting where I have been before :)

  • +1 CeanaRose!

    Seeing the places you've visited before would be a great help. Also, the bird's eye view of the maps on the encyclopedia, please!

  • My wish came true! YAY! Thank you so much for changing the sneezing and sparkly powders while we party.

  • Is there also a change for being able to select just one of something to mail to another player? I haven't been in game quite yet but I hope this will be implemented.

  • I've only just discovered the 'Check your daily limits' bit by the date/time - don't know how long that's been there for, but I like it, I tend to be strategic about collecting quoins! :)

  • Baqala 

    Once the home of nomadic Glitchian tribes, the savannahs of Baqala now play host to fearsome bandits and mysterious remnants. In Baqala, you will find yourself overcome with an Overwhelming Ancestral Nostalgia…this will limit your allowable time in Baqala. Traps will give you rewards, but watch out for bandits!

  • Does Bertola have dark and light phases (night and day)?

  • Firebog A new type of garden has been unveiled!  Introducing, the first Herb Garden, located in Firebog.  Herb Gardens are similar to Crop Gardens, with the main difference that you can grow herbs and cannot grow crops in them. Find some Herb seeds in your journeys through Baqala, have an ‘enchanting’ time, enjoying these new plants!

  • Loved the new express delivery - VFR direct to the person really helped during the projects.  Loved getting multiple deliveries from one frog. Only negative was that multiple deliveries usually meant the frog would hang/not go away and I'd have to refresh/reload to get rid of him. 

    Thanks for the mute...even on low, I could still hear that background music, so the mute was great!

    Didn't really see the change in cheese though I tried it...glad the sparkly powder doesn't lock you up anymore - was most noticeable for me at street projects. The teleportation doesn't affect me right now.

    Played briefly in Baqala - most of the signs were down, so took me a long while before I figured out what they were.  Too bad I've missed the projects, sounded interesting. Not sure what the point is after the quest is done though.  Like the different background, but overall, the area is pretty boring with so few landmarks and so much of it.  Hope there is more planned for that huge area. 

    Liked the new flowers.  All the community gardens were filled, so never got a chance to even plant the seeds I have since all were filled and waiting to grow.  Really want some options for private herbal gardens since there are so many rude folks out there, and if there isn't someone actively monitoring the community gardens they just wipe them out without replacing.  Watched someone pick a couple flowers and walk off right in front of someone else standing right there, without replacing the seeds. The player standing there had to call out to them to comeback and reseed...good grief.  I left at that point.

    For the most part, liked the updates, though I didn't get a chance to really fully enjoy them since I'm still learning the ropes on some things.   Thanks for the hard work!
