- CD-RUN Version Update: 3.0.0 - 8 June 2022
Leaderboards got a big update! They are now delineated by player count, not by difficulty setting. So, there's a leaderboard for Distance - 1 Player, Distance - 2 Players, Distance - 3 Players, etc etc up till 8 Players. Here's an example of the Distance - 1 Player Leaderboard: Next up, the Results screen got a little update too: A couple bug fixes were put in too that were found during Emerald City Comicon last December. Fun! Go get those LONGEST RUNS on that DISTANCE board!!!
- CD-RUN Version Update: 2.0.1 - 16 September 2021
Little updates in this latest version 2.0.1: Now the player score background box is highlighted in their color in Collect Mode. You can easily see at-a-glance who to keep away from Photons in that high stakes match! Speaking of at-a-glance updates, your name is now highlighted in yellow on the Leaderboards for an easier find! Bug fix: When a Tie Breaker would occur in Round Mode, the level would continue to make that pattern and there was a bug that no pattern would follow it. So it filled the Title screen with blocks and dumped a a bunch of errors until a different pattern was loaded. That is now fixed up, as you can see here by a level building itself post-Tie Breaker ending: Be sure to update right away to get the latest and greatest!

- Coming soon: language support - 7 May 2021
Work is progressing nicely on the project! I was a bit overwhelmed with the idea of having CD-RUN localized but after looking into it, found out it wasn't so bad after all. It's quite a "small" game in terms of words and strings. There'll be support for 12 languages over all, nicely summed up in the name acronym: PREFIG J SHUCK: Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian, English, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Spanish, Hungarian, Ukrainian, Chinese (Simplified), and Korean. Here's a few screen shots of the title screen: Hope that all reads correctly. I don't think the company who translated it played a joke on me ;)
- Controller Support Update - 2 April 2021
Added Elecom and Unknown Controller support.
- CD-RUN version 1.9.1 is out now! Please update when you can! - 29 March 2021
Update Notes: Keyboard player support on Steam. Keyboard key maps for the player are available to change in the Options menu. Updated CPU players some more (tweaks to personalities and having them more "aware" of the match situation). Fixed bug where in Distance mode the camera speed could increase to faster than a player can run and they weren't able to keep up. Fixed workaround bug for adding CPU players. Now it's squeaky clean.
- Keyboard support in Beta - 27 March 2021
Coming soon to CD-RUN: keyboard support! One player will be able to use the keyboard while other players can use controllers. I've got some good feedback from folks who've been using it. Hopefully It'll be released next week.
- Distance Mode bug fix. - 26 March 2021
Fixed up a bug in Distance mode where the camera would get faster than the max speed of the players.
- New in CD-RUN: Team Mode - 25 March 2021
When you're on the Join screen, simply hit the Y button to enable teams. They'll be based on color of the players so you can easily stick together in a match. Team sizes can be any amounts from 1 to 7 players per team. As you can see below there's 4 teams: Red vs Green vs Blue vs Teal. In a match things will start out pretty easy going: Then, inevitably get pretty intense: And the match is over when you've got all players of the same team left on the screen: They'll get there: Here's some footage of Team Mode in action: So give Team Mode a go and share your experiences! CD-RUN is best enjoyed with friends and yelling and screaming :)

- CD-RUN Release version: 1.9.0 - 3 March 2021
CD-RUN Release version: 1.9.0 Team Mode has been added for Round and Score type games! When team mode is enabled, when you press "Random" for player facial features, it will keep the same color of the team you are on. CPU teams will be added in size by the largest amount of players on a team. So if there are two people on the Blue team and they add CPU players, it will add two CPU players with a random team color. If three players, then three CPU players. Some level patterns are shorter in height when team mode is enabled to encourage teamwork and not totally wrecking everyone else quickly in a match. The Distance game type has had an overhaul. It is now a cooperative mode where all the runners are on the same side and attempt to get the longest run where the score is sent to a leaderboard, delineated by game difficulty: easy, normal, or hard. When a player is out of the match, they wil…

- CD-RUN 10 month release recap! - 13 August 2020

- Version 1.8.2 (The Menu Update) is out! - 11 August 2020
Small but thorough update for CD-RUN: The Menu Update! Previously, on all the menus, there was a Back button on the bottom of the selection. Now, there's just the Back button you can press at any time: On the Options screen: Achievements screen: The Hub: And the Join screen: Why do this? Well, it will be helpful to have a dedicated Back button to press rather than a menu Back button to have to navigate to when there is a long list of things to choose from. But Mike, you ask, There aren't any menus with long lists of things to choose from, are there? I laugh with internal company-man knowledge that soon there might be another option on the bottom of the Join screen Back footer. Mwa ha ha ha ha! Woah...got kinda evil bad guy there for a moment! More to come soon!
- CD-RUN bug fix! - 31 July 2020
Turns out I didn't fully realize or understand the hard limit of 4 XInput compatible controllers in Windows boxes. I thought if you plugged them in it wouldn't be a limit, but no way. I also wished I had borrowed enough Xbox & PS4 controllers when testing it. After some invaluable feedback from a player I took out XInput and utilize DirectInput now. So, now I have tested with the lot of them and the fix is up now to download: version 1.8.1. Please update and have fun!
- CD-RUN version 1.8.0 is now live! - 29 July 2020
CD-RUN has been updated: The Color Blind Mode Update (v1.8.0) is now live for Windows and Linux. Grab it or wish list it now! Update notes: new Color Blind Mode Color Blind Mode I've added in a Color Blind Mode on the Options screen to help out. A friend suggested it to me a few months ago and was finally able to add it to the game. I had him test it out and he said it was super helpful. Which was great to hear after his initial comments: "Wow! You made a game! This plays great....I can't tell who I am! Ahhhh!!! Dammit. I think I died." Here's some images of it enabled. Your player number is on the back side of your Bit so you can glance at that while the chaos is at hand.
