It takes a long time to hire people. You can't just throw a bunch of money at the problem and instantly have the right people for the job.

For example... I wrote a job spec for an additional community manager back in August, a few weeks after we launched. We posted this online and then waited a week to get applications in.

We then had hundreds of CVS and applications to go through. We had a few rounds of interviews and a practical test.

Once we found the right people - we made 2 offers. They accepted - but they had a notice period on their previous jobs.

Usually a notice period is 1-3 months, depending on how senior their position is.

This is the case for every role within the team. Artists, designers, QA, coders, producers, etc...

Once someone starts, they need to be onboarded into the company, and then onboarded on to the team.

For the developer roles, you also need to factor in getting to know the code base and structure ...

Fun fact - this version of the level was build before we decided to add camera control to the game, hence the coliseum-like design where the it grows in height towards the back (which was the right hand side of this image)

Am glad you added camera control lol

u/oliverage24artist, please take a look at this. this really complements the current design of perfect match without stripping away what it was designed for - a memory game. we already have jump club and jump showdown, but this is literally the best that you can do to perfect match, adding a 4th round, reducing the time for flashing of fruits. (etc flashing 0.5-1seconds faster, or deducting 1 flash each from the first two rounds. you can also introduce different variation of fruits, lemons, strawberries, blueberries so that it won't always strictly be watermelon banana cherry apple orange grape. also you should note that it's easy to memorise these 6, because many players including myself memorise by using the first alphabet instead of memorising by words. if you add fruits with same starting alphabets, it will be more difficult. to add this spinner is just an insult to what perfect match is and can be.

Hey, its not a fixed change to the level itself, it's just one of many variations that could occur. We are trying to build out as many different variations for each round as possible. I'll ask if we've done any variations that just play with the logic too - I'm sure we have though!

Has there been any more thought to if Gauntlet Showdown (or other modes) will be made permanent options in the near future? Or is that still a ways off.

Yeah there's some thinking around it - right now, each new show divides the playerbase in matchmaking - but we have some ideas on how to address that moving forward!

Comment

Hmm, see this is a problem, lots of people complained about it so we added it to the tracker - I can add a caveat that there is mixed opinion on if this is an issue?

Comment

All of our survival rounds - with Hex-A-Gone and Jump Showdown as possible finals!

We had a UW support when modifying the DLL before the anti cheat. So it shouldn't be hard to implement it. But I am not a developer to judge.

Sure, it's not something we don't want to support, and I totally get the importance! It's just something that's been trickier as nobody on the team has an ultra wide monitor. Maybe I should buy one 😃

I don't play the game anymore until ultrawide is supported. I find it incredible that in 2020 it is not supported. And more and more people are buying ultrawide screens.

Edit : Downvoted for no reasons

On Steam Hardware Survey, it looks like 2% of players have them, so it's still quite a small amount. I've added to the list though, hopefully we can support it!

It's very important for a kids game to avoid bad language. Spending 3 days typing a list of words with numbers (4ss, sh1t etc.) just isn't the most important thing for them now.

Thanks, I think some people are underestimating how creative people can get with offensive names and how easy it is to bypass filters if you REALLY want to be offensive.
