Ropuka's Idle Island News

In the early 2000s computers could do anything. They could bring you to webrings of increasingly niche fansites. They could calculate directions to Pizza Hut on MapQuest or deliver you answers to important questions from a guy named Jeeves. They could even house little virtual pets who would scamper across your monitor while you surfed the web. Wow! Computers!..

Hello! This week in Ropuka's Idle Island:

• New house variant - small
  We've added 12 new house stickers, a small variant of every house we had in the game so far. They are getting added to the lottery, but you can also buy each individual one - half the house for half the original price!
  
• Ground color will now match the grass
  Changing the grass color/variant will also slightly change the color of the island's ground to better match it
  
• 1 new achievement added
  
• 'Exit to Desktop' button will now always appear in the Settings panel
  
• Added an option to turn off the hiding of the game's UI (available in Settings -> Display)
  

Hope you enjoy the new additions and see you next week! 🐸

Hello! In this week's update we've expanded the soundscape of our little playable sticker:

• 2 new music tracks
• 5 new ambient loops
  We've added new ambient loops and made sure they loop perfectly without that nasty fade in/out
  
• Improved Audio Settings
  You can now select which ambient loop you want to play and which songs will play in sequence (or just loop your favourite one)
  
• 4 new music-themed stickers added on Page 16
  
• 1 new achievement
  

We hope listening to Ropuka's Idle Island will bring you joy every day and we will be back with more updates next week!

Today we've uploaded an emergency hotfix to prevent some issues with savefile getting corrupted.

Changes

• Added additional safety checks to prevent savefile getting corrupted when the game closes unexpectedly (PC crash, power outage etc.)
  
• Fixed some issue that prevented the game from loading (infinite 'frog' loading screen)
  

We are sorry for the inconvenience and hope this will prevent some of the issues that occurred this weekend.

I'm always looking to add a little whimsy to my day-to-day PC usage, which makes me a total sucker for a desktop pet. A lil' dude that chills on my screen while I go about my day, minding its own business. It's just something nice to break up the monotony of Google Chrome windows and emails, y'know?..
