Kiwi Clicker News

[h3]Hello everyone!![/h3]

Hope y'all are doing alright - I'm doing a short stop today to announce the start of the Idler Fest discount.

Was hoping to put out a Kiwi Clicker update out today as well, but it didn't quite make it and we didn't want to risk putting it out there and breaking someone's save file on such a joyful date (today is the worldwide day of cheaper Kiwi Clicker).

Here's a sneak peek - hover down here to see what is happening behind the curtains:
yup thats me, you're probably wondering how i got here


I've worked quite a bit on rewriting the whole code of the original Kiwi Clicker from scratch between December and January, and it has reignited my desire to make this old pal shine!
that's right, the ratio balancer is going down

Either way, it's supposed to change a lot (pretty much everything you didn't like, and also everything I didn't like), so I'll need to get back to it for now so that it can eventually come out!

Hello everyone, this update is just a few fixes - largely for the computer thing that happens at the end.

[h2]Changelog[/h2]

• Fixed being able to activate hidden/incomplete languages accidentally
  
• Fixed stuttering issues when moving in a certain part of the game
  
• Fixed UI not scaling properly for certain window sizes in that same part of the game
  
• That certain part of the game is no longer skipped if you close and reopen the game
  
• General fixed and improvements for that certain part of the game
  

Hello everyone, this is an update mostly to enable the Russian language as it has been worked on by community members recently - we've also had some corrections to the Simplified Chinese localization.

Additional Changes
-Improved font readability for Simplified Chinese
-Improved font readability for Japanese
-Adjusted several UI elements where text would cut off, overflow or end up way too small

[h3]Hello everyone, it's been a while![/h3]

How are you all? I hope you're doing alright.

This past year, I've been working a lot on 'Shapez 2', which is now getting to an even more awesome state. But you might be more interested in hearing about 'Kiwi Game 2' - it's a buggy mess, but I'll tell you, it's shaping up to be hella fun - hopefully we can release it by the end of this year too!






Thanks to the folks at The Most Games, the game can now be played in Chinese (Simplified) & Japanese!

We also have support for Chinese (Traditional) too, thanks to our community member Milly, who did that all on her own.

I hope all the new folks who discover Kiwi thanks to all the languages that are now supported will greatly enjoy it and have fun with the crazy little things it has going on.

And if you find any opportunities to add funny puns in your native language, feel free to drop a suggestion in our Discord!




The new game stars our beloved little kiwi buddies/workers/victims with completely new mechanics that open up way more possibilities for strategizing, planning, progressing & crazy surprises - let us soon feast upon this new endlessly incrementing journey!

After Kiwi Game 2, I would also like to go back to Kiwi 1 and rework the end-end-endgame mechanics so they're more engaging - starting at ending 1, but mostly for ending 3.

[h3]Hello, hello - the ending(s) update is here![/h3]
This update contains the new endings + localization support + quality of life changes - I'll go over them below... but you might want to just play and see it!



There are two new endings in the game - I won't go over what happens or when.
If you continue progressing, you will end up finding all of them - so don't worry about missing something!



This update adds a new simple prestige at the very end of the game - just in case you want to play a bit further and see some huge gains!



[h3]PT-BR LOCALIZATION + PARTIAL FRENCH & TURKISH SUPPORT[/h3]
The game now supports supporting multiple languages!

I've translated it to PT-BR myself, and we also have the coolest community members working on other languages too!

For now, you can also select French or Turkish, which are 50%+ translated as well.
If you'd like to help increase the amount of languages, just join our Discord and hop over to the translation corner!
