Project Rhombus News

On March 26th 2020, we have reached our 4th anniversary milestone. In the recent days we have finally begun to produce good results, but there's still much to be done. Thank you for everyone's continuous support.

To celebrate our anniversary, we're holding a special promotion! Get the games we're publishing at a discounted price this weekend.

The discount rate goes up to 75%, and has been applied to most of our games on Steam. The offer ends around March 30th and 31st, so don't miss the chance!

Visit our publisher page on Steam to find out which games are on sale.

Greetings from PsychoFlux Entertainment!

We're going to talk about the change of our pricing policy, for most of the free games we're servicing.

We have been servicing a lot of free games by offering main game for free, with an $1 empty DLC for donations; so the users who are satisfied by the game are able to support us and the developers by purchasing the DLC, which also makes the game stay in your Steam library.

However, some of the players told us that the game won't stay in their library even after purchasing the DLC, so they had to visit the store page to install it again. Thus we're going to make some changes to solve this problem and give some advantages to the purchasers.

Free games will be switched to Steam Edition, which will cost about $1. If you already purchased the Donationware DLC, you will automatically receive the Steam Edition of the game.

Also, games that support a leaderboard will also start to support Steam Leaderboard, so you can upload your score at both of them. Steam Cloud and Steam Achievements will be the same as before. We're planning to update the games that are not supporting these features, so please allow us some time.

And maybe we might add Steam Trading Cards, too!



An alternative free version will be added on Steam to compensate former version. Download button will be displayed on the store page, along with the purchase button for the Steam Edition. This new free version won't support any Steamworks features such as Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud and Steam Leaderboard, etc.

Achievements that you already unlocked won't go away, but you won't be able to unlock new ones. Your score will only be uploaded on the default leaderboard.



These DLCs will be gone from the store. As we mentioned, holder of these DLCs will automatically receive the Steam Edition game.

These changes will be applied within a day or two, to the games listed below. Please leave your comments if you have any questions!

To test the Steam Achievements feature, we've added some of them to the game. The added achievements are:

• Easy 60"
  Score the record of 60 sec. on Easy difficulty
  
  
• Normal 60"
  Score the record of 60 sec. on Normal difficulty
  
  
• Hard 60"
  Score the record of 60 sec. on Hard difficulty
  
  
• Expert 60"
  Score the record of 60 sec. on Expert difficulty

After we've confirmed that these are working properly, we're going to add some more. Something like, "Score the record of 120 sec. on ~~ difficulty", or "Fail for X times". If you have any idea, please let us know in the Steam Community.



To make the game title more recognizable in the Steam Store, the logo images were modified slightly.

Progress saves
We changed the method saving the game progress. Now your progress data will be stored in *.sav files instead of old *.dat files. If you launch the game after the update, the game will automatically read the data from the old files and create a new ones.

However, the data will be reset on devices where the "line 41" error has already occurred. Therefore, please make sure you start the game on a device where the game is yet playable. Once the data conversion is complete, the "line 41" error on the other device will also be resolved.
