Octbuster: Video Rental Store Cleanup

Build v0.90.0 - Arcade Restoration!

Alex

Hey everyone!

First, congratulations: together you found 50,000 Octbuster Tokens and unlocked the Golden Grumpy community reward. Every player gets the Golden Grumpy plush the next time they open the main menu.

I'm jumping the version to 0.90.0 because this is the start of the final release candidates. New features are winding down from here, and until 1.0 the focus is stability and polish. From 0.90 to 1.0 I'll be spending most of my time in the Suggestions and Bug Reports channels in the Discord , so if something is broken or bugging you, that's the place to tell me!

Arcade Restoration

  • The 16 cabinets in the arcade rows start out dirty now instead of boarded up. Hold grab on one to scrub it clean. Your free arms scrub back and forth under the crosshair, soap bubbles pop while you work, and the cabinet plays a little chime when it's done.
  • Each of those cabinets stands for one genre. Its screen lights up once you've finished sorting that genre.
  • Cabinets don't power on as the store gets tidier anymore. VISO, the basketball machines and air hockey are playable as soon as you uncover them.
  • Cleaning is saved per cabinet. In an existing save, the cabinets you've already uncovered come back dirty so you can clean them too.

Jukebox

  • New: a jukebox in the arcade, where one of the sofas used to be. Aim at a button and press grab to push it.
  • It lists your cassettes, the songs in your own Music folder, and the store music. PREVIOUS and MORE TRACKS flip between pages, and it has play/pause and NEXT TRACK buttons.
  • Cassettes you haven't found yet show NOT FOUND.
  • It works like the PLAYLIST page on the terminal. A cassette or one of your own songs brings up the party lights, and a store song ends the party.
  • Cassettes and your own songs also play out of the jukebox, and its lights pulse with the music.

Tutorial

  • The last line of the opening now says "Cart Controls are in the Genre Wheel". When you open the wheel, it adds that you can pick the genre filter there by hand, though the quick filter is recommended.
  • You don't have to pick a genre on the wheel to finish the opening anymore. Opening and closing it is enough.

Golden Grumpy

  • The Golden Grumpy plush is actually gold now, and you can scale it up to 16 times its size.

Have fun! -alex
