Lines FRVR

29 September 2016 #Lines #FRVR #GameDev #IndieGame #devlog

As you might have noticed we recently released Lines FRVR a casual line drawing games where the goal is to connect lines while covering all dots on the board. While not incredibly unique we think this is a great implementation of the genere.

Lines FRVR is the first game developed by Sebastian under the FRVR Apprentice program. Note that this is a FRVR Core game, fully owned by FRVR and not one of Sebastians 50/50 game.

Lines FRVR is also the first game to showcase a few new and improved FRVR subsystems and shared components. 

Localisation

The localisation system has been improved to now also include overlay icons and all sidebar items.

At the same time we expanded the amount of languages we translate to to cover all iTunes app store languages, here is the full list: 

Arabic (ar), Danish (da), German (de), English (en-US), Spanish (es), 
Spanish (Mexico) (es-MX), Finnish (fi), French (fr), Hindi (hi), Italian (it), Japanese (ja), Korean (ko), Norsk (Bokmål) (nb-NO), Dutch (nl), Polish (pl), Portuguese (Brazil) (pt-BR), Russian (ru), Swedish (se), Turkish (tr), Chinese (Simplified) (zh-Hans), Chinese (Traditional) (zh-Hant), Malay (ms), Portuguese (Portugal) (pt), Greek (el), Indonesian (id), Thai (th), Vietnamese (vi)

The new system now also makes it really easy to build localised screenshots and other assets for app stores.

Calendar

Lines FRVR also introduces a rewritten and re-worked calendar selector for choosing selecting the daily games. (A common feature of many FRVR games)

First and foremost the calendar was updated to use iPad pro sized graphics, allowing for an easy to to navigate high resolution experience on all devices.

Additionally the calendar now supports multiple complexity levels for each day, allowing us to target a broader audience with our games.

Over the next few weeks we expect to also introduce these improvements in our previous games.
