Fixed a major bug where you could buy seeds even when you didn't have enough eggs and vice versa. I'll honour code this - if you received free eggs/seed from this, you're free to let me know and I will remove them.
Last night's update: I got site emails set up, but I realised it was rather disruptive to suddenly block people's access to important features on the site, so I'm going to reduce the number of pages requiring verification to only ones where you can gain rewards (since the main reason for verification is to ensure people don't make 1000 alts to exploit the daily/limited features). There might be some odd behaviour while this is being rolled out.
Also - fixed the bug where pinging someone multiple times in one comment would create multiple notifications.
The entire Eggspedition game is done. Travel the world (currently 2 maps) and see other people's chickens there. I don't know how it managed to materialise in half a day, but it did. Gonna give it a day to settle before making an announcement. I think the only feature left that I want to get done before open beta is P2W (I want to beta it in a closed setting before opening up). Does this mean...open beta soon?? Perhaps!
[deep deep breath] ok so I got basically the rest of the intended features knocked out today. I'll make the proper announcement tomorrow, just so that the email verification one can stay there for one more day. but just a quick preview
- you can buy eggs for USD now. yes
- glasses and socks. socks are half the price of everything else
- modulators are no longer single use! after talking to neotheatre I also reworded the explanation of how they work + put them in their own tab so it's not confusing. I'm still hoping to incentivise breeding over geneing, but hey, that option exists now if you prefer to drop thousands of eggs to move your chicken to your preferred colour
- peep modulator that just flips the eye between black and white. it's cheaper than the other mods too
I'm almost satisfied with the game now, and so I'm going to start my 1-2 weeks of not doing big changes, and instead focus on catching all the bugs that have come up! including:
-
for some reason, trade notifications were randomly popping up even though there were no changes
-
generally the notification system seems to be buggy, so send those bug reports my way
-
general cleanup - there may be some pages that need different auth settings; some pages aren't properly styled for mobile, etc.
-
some pages (like the friend page) will need pagination if they get too long.
The repo for this project now has 420 commits 🔥
Today's evening update:
- You can now add chickets to trades.
- Site-wide styling changes to make it look generally better and more polished. I updated some of the images so they display better on dark mode; you may have to hard refresh to see the changes.
- Fixed the bug where items could be sold or used while they were in a trade. Now, having the item in a trade locks it from being sold. Also made it such that chickens and items can only be in one carton at a time.
- Added message outbox; moved closed tickets to their own tab.
- Removed the slight unwanted mask outline on Head pattern chicks (it was bothering me a lot!)
ok one last update for the day
- Added custom chicken backgrounds - check it out on your chicken's profile
- Added role icons to profiles Will make the announcement about the backgrounds Soon(tm)
Added a fun little thing on Eggspeditions where stepping onto a tile next to another chicken has no step cost!
Patch for the update above:
- you can now only buy chickens from the pullet pool once every 3 days
- pullet pool now gets a chick daily at midnight if there are < 5 chicks in it
