Monthly Review – September 2018

Welcome to the first monthly review! At Vanadium Games, we are aiming to publish a review every month, covering a summary of what we have been up to.

All reviews will also be available in our monthly newsletter, of which you can subscribe to here.

Anyway, what we have been up to in September?

We have been focusing on developing our platformer The Stacks to the point where it can be released to the App and Google Store, as well as making multiple improvements to the game:

• We added the functionality of having multiple languages available, with Spanish already translated
• We added touchscreen controls for mobile devices, as well as a slider to allow the user to change the GUI size
• We added the opportunity to gain an extra life on mobile devices by watching an advertisement
• We totally updated our leaderboard system to use our server and to have separate leaderboards for mobile and PC
• We fixed multiple bugs

The Stacks is available as a public beta on both Apple and Android, so if you want to help test our game, you can join our testing programme.

In other news, we have made plans to start our next game, Tapping Tournament. Nothing is set in stone though, so we are not revealing any details until later.

We also have been sorting our admin and background jobs, which will enable us to develop games faster and more efficiently in the future.

Our social media manager Morgan has been busy posting and updating our Instagram, Twitter and Facebook pages (which you can follow by clicking on our social media links or searching us – @vanadiumgames). If you want to receive quick updates and interesting facts, follow us there!

 

Anyway, that’s all for this month.
