Just want to share some updates for our puzzle game based off the reviews/suggestion made by our dear users - looking at you pennmom,. (this came from Chris' post on our Discord group) Its a popout preview of the image you can place anywhere. You can use this with or without the hint under the main image. This won't be in Ireland, but it WILL be in our upcoming Christmas game, and other games following this one. Some other adjustments we have made, include: - improving the UI so the "edges only" and "this corner only" buttons are easier to find/use
- Improving the "snappiness' pf picking up and moving pieces
- Improving the SHUFFLE code so that it better fills the empty spaces based on Zoom levels, so you can zoom in more/less, and have the pieces sorted for you easily.
- Added "just squares" to the pieces.
ALSO - we added a save game menu, so you can easily scroll through and choose your save games. Never say we don't listen! We'd put ALL of it in Ireland, but BFG is troublesome with us updating games too often - but it will ALL be in Christmas, plus some other fun things!

And yes, we're now on the final week of production for what could probably be the last installment for the I Love Finding franchise.

Well, I thought I had enough HOGs since I'm not a huge fan, but I do like the birds idea! Will wishlist this when it becomes available at Steam.

nelsonbz_TinyLittleLion, Oh Nooooooo...but what about Wildlife...Barnyard Animals...Safari Animals...Zoo Babies...Sea Life....what about I Love Finding Tiny Little Lions? I'm not ready for this series to be over :-S Heck, you could even get breed specific, I Love Finding Main Coon Cats, I love Finding Siamese Cats, I Love Finding Chihuahua's, I Love Finding Rhodesian Ridgebacks, I Love Finding Shiba Inu's, I Love Finding Ibizan Hounds, I Love Finding Mutts EVEN BETTER: How about featuring dogs from local Shelters or SPCAs in "I Love Finding Shelter Pets" (or Pound Pups & Cats) who wouldn't want to adopt a pet from the shelter? even if it's virtual? You could probably team up with sponsorship by donating a portion of sales to help homeless pets (either your, as in Tiny Little Lion's favorite local shelter or via SPCA) which would definitely increase sales! I would purchase a game knowing a portion, even if it was just a buck, went to shelters, without a pause. I donate supplies such as paper towels, blankets, toys, and cleaning supplies all the time, I even professionally groomed them to give them a better chance of adoption at my local shelter. Most people don't have the time to donate or even think about it, but they would certainly buy a game that donated a portion of their purchase!...plus it would be an adorable game!

We're trying out a new pixel game, but while still under development we've thought why not put some of it on the new I Love Finding game and see how our users will react to it.

nelsonbz_TinyLittleLion, I really liked the coloring game that was offered in Nature Escapes, these puzzles look more like the real thing...any chance you can give us a sample "build" of one of the painting games to try out?

nelsonbz_TinyLittleLion, I'm not an art game fan so haven't played any of that sort of game, but it looks like you pick a color from the tray at the bottom and then move the cursor around to color the picture and do it until all the colors are done? I would be OK with this as a minigame provided we don't have to drag the cursor around to color the picture because my carpal tunnel will not allow me to do that much dragging. Can't afford surgery for now but with the way things are going will likely have to budget for that sometime in the future.

Two of our games was included on this year's Best Games of 2022 | Big Fish Games Threaded came as a runner-up for the Best Puzzle game category while I Love Finding MORE Cats! took home the Best Pets game. We couldn't have done it without the love and support we continue to received from this community. Speaking of which, we may have a leverage here to launch another game for the I Love Finding series. :) Also Congratulations to Boomzap for winning the Best Hidden Object game via Faircroft's Antiques!

nelsonbz_TinyLittleLion, I'm glad to see that you're continuing to make good HOGs. pennmom had some questions about what some of the birds were in the Adopt a Bird scene of I Love Finding Birds (see the photos in the game thread) and my curiosity is piqued too.

nelsonbz_TinyLittleLion , would like to point out some discrepancies in the Dutch translation in the I Love Finding More Cats. A case of mislabeled and spelling mistakes. At the secondary location at Pismo Beach it says aap which means monkey but the item that corresponds to that is some coins & dollar bills. At the main location in Brooklyn it says honkbal which means baseball but the item that corresponds to that is a basketball. Also at the primary location in Sycaruse the item that corresponds to b likje which means can is a cap. Then in another location (can't remenber which one) kip or haan, which is chicken or hen is spelled as kik which has no meaning. There was another item in Marrakesh it says to look for riem which is belt in English but the item that corresponds is a bell. I'm not a native Dutch speaker but I've studied it so it was a bit disappointing to find that there are some mistakes in the game. Also it's difficult to convince a newbie to this genre that if they can't find a certain item it's not because the developer made a mistake in the spelling or mislabeled the item after discovering these mismatches. But I do love the option to play in another language that I find familiar with. So I hope they will continue with that. Would like to apologise if you're not the person that I should be pointing out these discrepancies.

Exercise your object recognition skills, memory, and challenge your mind with multiple levels. "So Much Stuff" is the perfect game for anyone looking for a fun and challenging experience. So Much Stuff is Now Available on Steam!

nelsonbz_TinyLittleLion, So it's a mixture of all the animals, cool! I really think you should offer a Strategy Guide on the CE version that shows where all the collectibles are, especially the morphs!

nelsonbz_TinyLittleLion, I don't know. The I Love Finding series is getting overdone IMO. Can't see how the new one is any different than Critters, and we already had Pups (2 games), Cats (2 games), and Birds with every game being a re-skin of the same format. So Much Stuff, while not offering anything really "new" to the HOG genre, is at least differently structured and doesn't have that multiplier counter or timer thing hooked up to stars which made it more fun to play for me. But if the games are selling well for you, then best of luck. :)
