We are finished with the new update! There is a new land, Looming Mountains, that is now accessible to the very East of Boomy Woods. Check out all the new stuff we’ve added:
Two New Characters – Junkybot and MARC – say hello to a junky old robot and a depressed computer!
Junkybot’s Junk Shop – Junkybot wanders around Looming Mountains collecting mysterious relics. He doesn’t know what to do with them, and he’s willing to part with them if the price is right. One robot’s junk is Furdiburb’s treasure!
MARC – MARC (Musical Artificial Recall Computer) is a sad sad computer. Only you can make him happy with music!
Music Game – Play this music game and help MARC unlock a musical masterpiece. Don’t worry if you don’t have a musical background – MARC will help you out!
Music Instrument – Get a special relic from Junkybot to turn MARC into a high tech musical instrument. Dazzle your friends with your musical creations! Or just annoy them with random noises =D
Spaceship Part – Now you can discover the second spaceship part, bringing you one step closer to having a fixed up space rocket! As usual, you’ll have to figure this out on your own. Good luck!
Improvements
Accelerometer control
Tablet support
Bug fixes
As always, we want to thank everyone for their patience. We are constantly working on Furdiburb!
Hi All,
Many of you suggested this one: onion-skin overlays. Now you can enable onion-skin overlays while shooting your stop-motion videos. This should come in handy for stabilizing and smoothing out your animations. Enjoy!
Check your AndroidTM Market and get the upgrade today. Don’t have Stop-Motion for AndroidTM? Try out the Lite version for free!
While you’ve been patiently awaiting the next update, we’ve been hard at work making progress on new adventure elements in Furdiburb.
We’ve expanded Furdiburb’s world by introducing a new land to explore with two new characters. Somewhere a musical puzzle will be waiting for you and your Furdi to solve together. Of course, we haven’t forgotten the broken spaceship, a new part is also going to be rewarded, but how is for you to figure out!
An overview of what the next update will include:
A music puzzle!
A spaceship part to discover!
3 new locations!
2 new characters!
Lots of progress has been made so far, but we still have quite a bit more work to do. We hope to be finished with this update in 3-4 weeks.
Hey everyone! We are happy to announce that the next update is now available for download in the marketplace!
New growth stage! Wow, Furdiburb is growing up! With his new state comes new sickness looks. C’mon, you don’t want to get him sick on purpose now, do you? There will be even more growth stages in the future. Furdiburb will grow into some awkward stages before maturing… don’t want to stare at your awkward Furdiburb? We have a solution for that too!
Potion of Youth– for those of you who prefer Furdiburb to remain young forever, Tokori has developed a potion that will help make your alien younger.
Houses – Veroosh has two new houses available at the furniture shop. These scrolls summon some of the Brothers of Bagwa to remodel your hut. Note: you can only use these scrolls on the home scene, and they are one-time use.
New furniture – We hope you’re ready to redecorate. With each new house comes a fitting furniture ensemble. Can you collect the complete sets? Can you mix and match something that is unique only to you? Even more sets are planned for future updates.
Move to SD-card – due to popular demand!
Bug fixes and improvements
less memory use
less cpu use
If you are collecting all the fish in the ocean and have not caught the rare high-heeled hermit crab, you must re-catch the Kraken periodically. It has a chance of scaring this special crab up from the bottom of the ocean. Make sure you have the latest update.
Thank you for all your feedback! We know many of you like the adventure aspect of the game. Don’t worry, we’re getting back to that in the next update.
Update Version 0.16beta2:
Added some bug fixes. Thanks to all of you who reported the bugs to us.
Fishing – The main component to this update, you can now fish on Pizzicato Island! 39 types of things are swimming, hiding, or resting on the ocean floor. Can you find them all??
Crabidab’s shop carries new fishing mutations that wear off. Go check them out!
Drag Furdiburb onto Pizzicato Island. Press and hold on the island to zoom in.
Make sure to apply the fishing potion. You can use food as bait by dragging the item to him. Note – while Furdiburb has the fishing mutation, you cannot feed him unless you remove this specific mutation!
Once the bait is on his antenna, he will swing it around, winding up for the throw. Click on him to cast into the water.
Wait until the line wiggles back and forth. When it does, click on Furdiburb. Tip – keep Furdiburb very still so the line wiggle is obvious.
Once he reels the item in, click on Furdiburb, not the item. It will automatically go into the inventory. If your hook comes back empty, that means your fish got away. =(
The First Spaceship Part – How can you get it? It’s a secret for now. We are letting you figure that out. =)
New Music!!!
Intro music – with just the right amount of suspense.
Afternoon music – to mix things up a bit =)
Pizzicato Island music – a swashbuckling tune to get you encourage the fishing spirit!
Various others…
Large-screen support (i.e. Xoom and Samsung Galaxy Tab)
Various bug fixes – Thank you for reporting them!
As always, thank you for your patience and support!
As we predicted, the current update we are working on is HUGE. We are adding a fishing game! You will interact with Furdiburb in order to be able to fish off of Pizzicato Island. We are currently working on:
Fishing physics and logic
Populating the ocean with a wide variety of catchable fish – you may strive to catch and collect them all!
New music!!
Also, this will be the first update where we will introduce a spaceship part – but it won’t be in plain sight, you’ll have to work hard to find it! We have always planned, from the beginning, to develop the game with the goal of allowing you to eventually fully repair the broken spaceship. This update will bring you one step closer to sending Furdiburb home!
We’ve been working nonstop since the last update! We are estimating this update to be finished in about 2-4 weeks.
We’re pleased to announce that we are done with the new update!
The Factory (previously known as “The Machine”) is now available to the west of Pizzicato Beach. It requires three items and needs to be powered on before you can use it. You can now generate about 40 possible products including new foods, sick foods (watch out!), holiday foods, furniture, mutations, and even *drumroll please* Chicken Mama!
There are 45,000 possible recipes to produce these items, but fear not! Some items can be produced by dozens of different recipes while others are very rare and can only be produced with 1 unique combination. So try it out and see what you can make! If you need ideas ask some of the shop keepers in the game or check out the Furdiburb Facebook fan page where others may be sharing their recipes.
We’ve been hard at work adding and improving audio functionality.
Sounds! Now you’ll hear sound effects when you pluck food from the plants. Hope you like it! More sounds will be added in future updates.
Music fading! We’ve added the ability to fade music to ease song transitions.
Silent mode: Now, if your phone’s ringer is set to vibrate, the in-game audio will start muted. You can turn the audio on at any point by raising the volume on your phone or tablet. Hopefully fewer violin recitals will be disturbed thanks to this new feature 😉
A new song when you play Star Quest! – thanks to our new music fader =]
Last but not least, we added an intro scene that you can only see before you hatch Furdiburb. Warning! If you reset your phone, you will lose all progress. So, we’ve posted it here for your viewing satisfaction:
Hope you enjoy! Next update is already in the design stage. As usual, thanks for your patience and all the feedback!
We promised an update by this weekend – and technically we’re done… BUT, we were looking at the next update after this one and it’s looking pretty monstrous, so we decided to take a few of the features from that update and put them into this one. This way you don’t have to wait forever for v0.15beta. We’re hoping to be done with these new features for v0.14beta in about 2 more weeks.
We know you’ve been eagerly waiting for this update. We really appreciate your patience! In the meantime, maybe this new wallpaper will help tide you over.
Hello Furdiburbians!
As always, we want to thank everyone for their patience. We are constantly working on Furdiburb!
