Despite the lack of updates here I have been chugging away at Ruby & Majesty since IndieCade East. I can’t say exactly when a new build will be posted but starting with the next version I will be launching a PAID version of the game that will include exclusive content! I will be keeping a DEMO version available that will include all of the changes I have added and the updated Episode I.

What will be in the next version?

• More color!

• Updated sprites for many elements

• Improved UI

• Optional challenges for each puzzle

• Bonus puzzles for completing challenges

• Various engine optimizations and improvements

• Lots and lots of bug fixes

• The option to run the game at 60FPS!!!!!!!!

That’s right! Ruby & Majesty will no longer be locked into 30 FPS and let me tell you it is smoooooth at 60 FPS. I was shocked at how much a difference it made. I will be leaving in the option to keep the game at 30 FPS for folks using older hardware.

What comes with the PAID version?
By supporting the development of Ruby & Majesty you will get the upcoming Episode II and all other new content as it gets released. You will also get access to unstable builds. But that’s not all!

If you purchase the PAID version you will also get access to the Ruby & Majesty: Construction Kit Alpha, which will not only allow you to create your own puzzles but it will also let you create entire Episodes with multiple rooms, dialogue, and whatever else your heart desires. This will be the very same tool I use to build the puzzles and layouts for Ruby & Majesty. For now these creations will only be playable on the PAID version. I will be looking at ways to share this user created content for future releases.
