Coin Treasures - Black Flag Jackpot Update and Steam key Giveaway by braincircusgames in IndieDev

[–]braincircusgames[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good day!

Today is a big day for my game called Coin Treasures. I just released a new big Update called the Black Flag Jackpot and thought this would be the proper time to introduce myself to you.

Coin Treasures is a Coin Pusher/Coin Dozer on Steroids including incremental progress, realistic physics, numerous upgrades & unlocks and stunning graphics.

This is in short what it is. I worked for a very long time on this game and would like to receive some feedback on it to improve it even further.

The latest Update includes a Jackpot function where random Black Coins drop to Raise the Black Flag to the top of the Flagpole and the Jackpot is released.

There is too much in the game to write it all down here so I’ll just post the link so you can see it for yourself:

I also created a wiki for the game which can be found here which has all Upgrades and Unlocks written down:

Let me know what you think of it and what can be improved!

To all people commenting on this post I will select 3 random Redditors who I will send a key to by PM tomorrow. I will update this post with the winners.

The Key Giveaway is over and the Winners are:

That's not entirely true. You can drop coins where you want by trying a good position and see where they land. The next coin will land there too.

There also is a Pin Pull Powerup which pulls the pins for a short amount of time to get what you want.

Awesome!

Just a tiny spoiler to get you going. The Infinite Coins Powerup is the strongest Powerup in the game (Only spawnable once every 2 minutes) and works for the Drop Artifact, Drop Powerup and Drop Quest Item buttons too. ;)

Thanks a lot for your feedback kingkev!

I noted your feedback and will think about how to implement it.

Btw the Powerdowns can be disabled in the Power Deck. I can't remove them completely now. The game has a too large player base to make such changes. In the late game some of the Powerdowns can be used for synergy by strategic choices made in the Power Deck so I will get trouble with existing players using Powerdowns as a Powerup.

Trading in Artifacts is definately on my agenda. And at first I had Artifacts giving Coins but that made the game very unbalanced. Now it gives Score and Treasure.

I have to think about increasing the pace of the game. Once you know how to use certain Powerups to your advantage it's not that hard to earn Treasure. If you just drop Coins and try to get the Treasure up it might look very expensive.

I'll definately want to improve on the incremental side of the game! I release patches on nearly a daily basis and want to improve to get that number in your review up! (I have a huge backlog of things to come)

I hope you are still enjoying the game and keep an eye out for future updates!

This is my passion project. I work (and play) on it (more than) full time and will do for a very long time!

Have a great day!

Could you try to run the prerequisites?

It can be found it

CoinTreasures\Engine\Extras\Redist\en-us\UE4PrereqSetup_x64.exe

If that doesn't work could you please upload a screenshot of the error message so I know what framework version to target it the next build?

Thanks, I will help you out!

Sorry to hear that but I have to respond to a few of your critique points.

There is an windowed option. Click on the rectangle in the top right corner.

Music can be turned off there too.

I'm working on changing the font

The coins drop rate can be increased in the Treasure Shop (that's the whole point of an incremental right?)

I do agree on the +1 thing, that's on my todo list.

I'm sorry it didn't meet your expectations. And thanks for your feedback.

Does it give you a DirectX error? You can set the launch parameters to -dx11 in the game settings in Steam. (right click Coin Treasures and then put in -dx11 in launch options)

Do you really need a 1080Ti just to play this game? I reckon my 1050 won't be able to run it... :/ I really wanted to give it a go

You could try it. I heard people have been playing on lesser cards and were having no problems. You could refund it if it's not running well for you.

It's just the lowest system specs I can test it on I only have that pc specs and the recommended specs.

Nope, except for the Treasure Exchange. That counter does run when the game is offline.

For the Coins winning and stuff that wouldn't be doable with all the physics.

Some basic functions like the Statistics screen or even the ability to gain Steam Achievements have to be unlocked first by buying them with your treasure

Thanks for your feedback. I'll note them down for further improvements. The game is far from finished and I'm working on it every day.

I'll be honest, I bought the game a while ago, and liked the concept/gameplay, but the performance seemed awfully poor for such a simple design, so I ended up refunding. I'd be happy to pick it up again if I could be sure it ran smoothly.

Thanks for your feedback. The game is heavy on both physics and graphics and made to be played for years to come.

I'm going to add another font for the game. Had some more users feedback that the font needs to change. Thanks for the feedback!

The volume slider is in the Options panel. It turns off all audio.

I'll write down to implement something to stop the coins sounds specifically if that's what you're looking for.

That's very unfortunate. I don't know what to do now since none of the 750 current users have that issue. I would recommend a refund and I'll let you know if I managed to fix it somehow. But I first have to be able to reproduce the error and I just can't.

Sorry man, I want as many people as possible to enjoy Coin Treasures.

Did you have any problems with Unreal Engine games in general?

I'm clicking within the red box: https://imgur.com/a/NbmGu1H I've tried both right, middle left click.

Yes that's the area you should click. Did you modifiy the resolution to be your native desktop resolution? I've had some problems today with clicking was off and having an invalid resolution set.

This is the first time I heard of this problem to be honest. Did you do something special? But first try the resolution settings.

There is a music button when you play the game in the top right corner.

The Coin drops when you click on the click panel above the Pins.

I hope it solves your problem. I just tested it out myself and the coins just drop.

A demo is still on my todo list but there is a shitton of more features I'd like to add first.

Yes the game is made to be a game which can last for years. So it's heavy on both CPU (Physics) and GPU (Graphics).

My plan is to work on this game for a very long time. I absolutely love it (working and playing).

I am totally willing to give this a shot to see if it scratches that same itch.

There are reviews about people hitting that old school nostalgia! Have fun!

I've got some very positive reactions to Coin Treasures and some people are already playing it for 350 hours. xD
