Bryce Tiles News

Sorry it's been a while since the last update, I've been trying to get the word out on the streets about Bryce Tiles' existence! If you've bought the game and not left a review yet, please throw a couple of words down, I'd really appreciate it! Until then, keep having fun playing the campaigns, discovering the secrets of Bryce Tiles and making your own levels!

Hopefully the level editor will be ready for full release soon, JJJJ has currently got it in full dogfooding testing mode and is working on a Workshop Exclusive™ campaign... stay tuned for more on that! If you want to test the level editor and workshop integration, simply run the game with -leveleditor launch option.

Bug reports! Please send any here:

Thanks again for having fun with the game, and see you in the next update!

A big fix for level editor lockboxes, minor fix of the lasers in level editor and music playing after test mode. I've enabled workshop visibility so now you can subscribe to other campaigns. I'm not sure why the campaign loader brings in all of the submitted campaigns currently, but it's actually kinda cool cause you can play everything on workshop straight from Bryce Tiles.

Sorry it's not a more interesting update, still working on getting the level editor perfect so please keep testing!

A few little fixes! If you're an escape key spammer, please test it out in weird places now and see if it breaks! The awful hack I put in for SteamDeck should only work on SteamOS now, but I'll try and make it less hacky in future (newer Godot has a fix for the SteamDeck double input bug, but I'm still on an ancient version that requires crude workarounds).

Send me more bugs, please:

I also set-up a very basic subreddit in case the game gets very popular (quite unlikely) or people want to share their custom campaigns and levels outside of Steam Workshop (more likely): https://www.reddit.com/r/BryceTiles/

I really want to release the full level editor and workshop support in the next week or so, let me know if there's ANY bugs at all with it, otherwise I'll prepare a trailer and get it released properly!

I think I fixed the offset objects in the level editor bug, please say I did this time.

[h3]Awesome Fixes 1.0.12 Changelog[/h3]

• (level editor) actually fixed broken build level positions (due to stupidly childing everything to the dialog box node, too late now though, all we can do is hacky-fix)
  
• (level editor) added error message if level can't save (into a protected folder, for instance)

Maybe more fixes later if anything shows up! There might be a rogue bug where dying in test mode can cause a crash, let me know if it happens!

More level editor fixes, I really hope this fixes the offset items bug and some more of the crashes. Please keep testing and accept my apologies for all of these bugs, the level editor is still very beta and needs a lot of playing around with... so thanks everyone so far!

I managed to track down the singer of the theme tune and she was happy for me to share her info: her name is Marnée Richardson and you can find her (or hire her yourself!) from http://marneerichardson.com.

The song was written and recorded back in June 2021 (less than a month after production on the game started, crazily enough) but I didn't see any reason to even release the song until the Steam page was made in January 2023 (if I'd known what I know now, I'd have released it back in 2021, of course).

Since there was some suggestion that the song/singer was A.I, this confirms ABSOLUTELY NOT and no part of Bryce Tiles or its music or art or sound was A.I. generated in any way whatsoever, nor will any game by Brilliance or subsidiaries. The theme song was written and produced by Elvisish and all of the level music was composed by JJJJ, with some secret stage additional music (and altered themes) by Elvisish.
