Game "should" be appearing (For Patreons First) at some point later today.

-=-=-

I'm currently wrangling a little something in JSE, first, though.
The new "Slidey Down Options Menu" thing is half working, but isn't 100% yet.
The "Read Fix" has been implemented, and this game needs that, but I can't upload the version yet because of all the breaks that the Slidey Down Options Menu has brought along with it.
Oh joy!



Nice to have it somewhat functional, though. The Fullscreen option works well enough, now, too. Nice!
Except on iOS, when "You can drag down to exit Fullscreen Mode! \O/YEAY\O/!"
.. Meaning if you move your finger downwards, at any point, the Fullscreen Mode exits..
And if you're playing a game with onscreen thumbsticks, or playing a game with touch-sidey based movements... You're pretty much stuffed.

Hmm..

You can also toggle the FPS display off and on, and can also toggle Enhanced Graphics off and on.
This is the "extended colour" functionality, where you can draw with colours 0.0-7.999 and have it blend colours between, as well as all of the Lighting buffer's functionality.
If you toggle the option off, everything becomes "simpler", so framerates should be a little better on systems that can't quite cope.
I'll be honest, 99% of games won't see an impact from this button, but.. Hey, it's nice to have it!

One issue I'm having is deciding how best to handle this new menu when you're playing with only a Gamepad in hand.
It's not openable without a drag at the top of the screen, and isn't really navigable without mouse/touch, and I don't think I'm in the mood to figure out how to do that.
I might just say "OK, it works with a mouse/touch" and be done with it.

Hmmm..
Anyway, I need to finish it off to the best of my abilities, and then I'll get the game posted.
... Which you won't be able to play for a week unless you're a paid-Patreon, so .. um..
Yeah.

Meanwhile...

Boy, that ROGAlly hasn't had much playtime, has it?
Sure do hope the Switch 2 doesn't go down the same path.

And just in time, here comes SteamOS to the ROGAlly.

The reason I got the ROGAlly instead of a SteamDeck was so that I could have a Windows system sitting at the ready, but, if I'm honest, I've barely used the bloomin' thing at all.

You can now officially install SteamOS onto the ROGAlly as well as other compatible handheld systems, and .. I had little think before doing it. But last night took the plunge.

It took several hours.
.... to find a USB Flashdrive, because goodness knows the last time I used one of those.
Put it this way, the one I did find was a whole 512Mb..
I ended up grabbing a MicroSD card and a dongle, so wasn't expecting everything to work right.



But the actual install itself took about 5 or 10 minutes. Honestly, it was remarkably quick.
The ROGAlly is now running SteamOS, but the other MicroSD (The one that sits in the ROGAlly and has all my Emulation stuff on it) isn't in a compatible format for SteamOS, what with it being formatted under Windows.
So, last night I left it backing everything up onto the MacMini, and later today will be formatting it on the ROGAlly and then (hopefully!) copying everything back.

*ugh*

I also left it installing No Man's Sky overnight, so am interested to see how much better that runs.
..
But first, AGameAWeek needs doing.



Focus, Jay!
