WooLoop News

We are going live on Steam with WooLoop now!
No changes to the game this week but we are testing out the new Stream overlays whilst we play test some more levels!

We're still in the early stages of development but a lot has changed in WooLoop since last week!

A lot more levels and a UI overhaul, all of which we'll be testing today - for a full list of updates check our previous post here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1878910/view/3403055194043520507

We'll be going live around 1pm for about an hour so tune in to watch us play and chat with us live.

No changes to the schedule yet.

We are aiming to be streaming every Friday around the same time in the build-up to the Steam Next Fest so make sure you stop by to watch the ongoing development of WooLoop.

Any changes to the schedule will be updated during the week.

Firstly we want to thank all of you who stopped by to watch us broadcast the early stages of WooLoop last Friday!
If you missed it and want to watch us play the game in its early stages, keep your eyes out this Friday for us to stream it live again!


Since the stream, Rob has made some considerable changes to the game.
[h3]Bug Fixes:[/h3]

• Fixed the Music slider in the Audio Settings
  
• Added Keyboard controls for camera movement
  
• Fixed Instruction Icons so they point in the correct direction all the time*
  
• Correctly detect when you are touching the wrong pin*
  

[h3]New Additions[/h3]

• Added a Discord link button
  
• Added an end of the level process
  
• Added a "Full Disclosure" message for the Demo build
  
• Added an optional Demo questionnaire to get game feedback
  
• Added 9+ new levels!*
  

* These fixes are still in the QA process so we'll be looking out for them on Friday's live stream



The biggest news we have this week is that the demo build has been approved by Steam and will be going live next week on the 22nd!

This is so we have the Demo live and ready for the Steam Next Fest that is beginning in October - feel free to download the from the store page when it comes out but please note the game is due multiple updates and changes in time for the Next Fest.

As well as this, we will continue to stream the game on Fridays and follow up each week with dev updates.


Thanks for stopping by and please let us know any feedback you may have once the demo is live!

Get the very first public look at WooLoop gameplay directly from the developers today!

We will be streaming some of the currently ready levels today to show off what the gameplay will look like as well as allowing us to test the game and note down any bugs or features that need addressing.

We will be streaming live at around 1:30PM BST for about 30 to 45 minutes (no strict time frame) with chat enabled so if you want to come along and say hi and ask any questions, please do!

I am currently setting up the hardware in our new office so we expect a couple of teething issues with the first stream or two, we thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.



p.s. The game is still in its very early stages so we expect to find a few problems and things like the UI and game menu aren't finished yet

If you already follow our other games on Steam, you may have seen snippets of WooLoop in our Dev Vlogs over the past year. A project Rob started in his spare time last Christmas!

A different take on our beloved game Coloring Pixels. The same relaxing and rewarding game feel but this time in a more creatively expressive manner!


[h2]What is WooLoop?[/h2]

WooLoop is a game of creation. You build up great works of art by dragging your yarn in loops around various pins in your canvas. Slowly, one thread at a time, patterns will form, until eventually, you construct a beautifully woven masterpiece.



Wrap, weave, and wind your wool! Build works of art strand by strand, one loop at a time, in this tranquil game of craftsmanship. Draw inspiration from the large exhibition of levels available and unwind with the soothing soundtrack.


[h2]Follow Our Progress![/h2]
WooLoop is still a work in progress. Make sure you check out our Weekly Dev Vlogs on YouTube as well as Wishlisting the game on Steam to be kept up to date with all of the progress we make!

We are planning to hold weekly Developer Broadcasts here on the Steam store page every Friday around 1 pm British Time so make sure you tune in for live interaction about the game!

Milestone updates will be available here on our Website and on our Social Media.


[h2]Release Date[/h2]
We are preparing to offer a Steam Demo during the October Next Fest next month!

The full release of the game will be in early 2023, with exact dates to be confirmed
