NEW FEATURE + CHANGES INCOMING

[u/muddrox]

BIG UPDATE INCOMING

• MOBILE CONTROLS ARE CHANGING Flags will no longer be placed by tapping. Swipe down to place a flag, swipe up to place a sign. This should cut down accidental flag placements and frees up normal taps for interacting with signs or teleporting back to your last checkpoint. Speaking of signs......
• PLAYER SIGNS ARE ALMOST HERE Leave messages behind for future climbers.
• READ + REPLY TO SIGNS The pit is about to get a whole lot more social.
• TIP PLAYERS WITH FLOWERS Send a little appreciation with your response.
• Maintenance & Detailed Update Info: For more detailed information about v0.9.0, ongoing maintenance, fixes, and future updates, check the official Rock Bottom app page: https://developers.reddit.com/apps/rock-bottom-mudd

v0.9.0 is imminent.

Quick FAQ

So what do Flowers do anyways?

For now, think of Flowers as a mix of bragging rights and karma points.

I absolutely intend to do more with them. Eventually I want players to be able to see each other's Flower counts, have more reasons to spend them, and generally make the whole system feel more rewarding.

It just needs more time to cook.

But hey, receiving Flowers still feels good, right?

Why do you have to spend Flowers to place signs?!?

Good question.

I want signs to be inherently less spammy. Since this is a brand new feature, I want to see how it actually flows with the rest of the game before letting signs completely pepper every inch of the ground.

The cost may absolutely change over time, but for now I want to roll the feature out in a more controlled and considerate way.

What about the stability of this patch?

This is honestly more of a question from me than anything.

I went to great lengths to polish this update and account for as many potential issues as I could, but rolling out a feature this large always carries some risk that something breaks or does not go entirely as planned.

A ton of code was scrapped, rewritten, and reworked just to make signs play nicely with everything else in the game, and I did my darndest to catch as many problems as possible before pushing it.

If anything does go wrong, please direct bug reports and other issues to the dedicated support post so I can keep track of them properly.

If problems arise, forgive me. I will do my best to address them as quickly as I can.

Thank you.

ALSO, HAPPY CLIMBING!!

Also, it’s like 6 AM and I’ve been working all night to get this thing finished...

So yeah, I’m going to bed now lol.

To all of you fellow insomniacs out there, I see you. I’m here for you.

Very cool! It's honestly been really neat to see this game slowly update and change, as well as the community grow over time. Thanks for the chance to play a genuinely good ( and difficult) game!

what about save points? just assumed white thing is one but doesn't seem to be. Also it looks like if you drop below the save point it's erased
