The VG Resource

Everyone knows that any PC game with minimal support for Proton (the Steam emulator for Windows) is
functional on Steam Deck, and that is why we have come to confirm that Randy & Manilla works on Steam Deck.
However, its statement took a long time because it needed a small group of people to test it, and both a gameplay from Pixelacos and the LnkInx's review were enough to prove it:





According to showed the aforementioned users, the game would be listed as verified, but with certain inconveniences that could have left the yellow label as playable only.
However, this is just a confirmation from those who tested it and not an official confirmation from Valve.
We look forward to hearing from you to find out if their verification matches ours.

Randy & Manilla is nominated by 4th time. This time in the Top 100 of the Indie of the Year 2024 from IndieDB.

On the way to major updates, there are a few patches to be released and this brand new one offers the following changes and additions:





If you are in an even bigger hurry to get through levels, especially the longer ones, an additional function has been added to the sprint button. However, like the sprint in Rol & Rogue, what it actually does is speed up time x2 while holding the button as the playable characters are moving. The difference between this sprint and the one implemented for the other Net-Cubes is that it is activated after pressing the sprint button twice or walking after 3 seconds in a row and has a very limited time with a recovery period depending on the character chosen:

Randy's Super Sprint:

• Use time: 2 seconds (4 seconds in normal time)
  
• Recovery time: 4 seconds
  

Manilla's Super Sprint:

• Use time: 3 seconds (6 seconds in normal time)
  
• Recovery time: 3 seconds
  

The continuous use time may seem very short, but the idea of this limitation is not to abuse the ability and to use it in cases where there are large areas free of enemies and obstacles.

Among other changes and additions:

Physical and gameplay changes:

• Automatic camera rotation for controllers can be activated with the RT/R2 button.
  
• The physics, gravity and mobility of both Randy and Manilla were balanced.
  
• Vertical rotation can now be reversed with LT/L2.
  

Other changes:

• Slight changes in the position of some locks in Rol & Rogue.
  
• Fixed a minor animation bug in dialogue triggers.
  
• More exaggerated effect on the icons indicating the targets to destroy in the fourth level challenges of both Terra-Qubit and Quantum City.
  
• The color of the Golembrick's crowns (name of the first boss) was changed.
  
• Mouse blocking for clicking the character selection buttons in Rol & Rogue was fixed. Fixed (at least for the most part) a Golembrick animation bug that occurs in the third phase.
  
• Minor redesigns in some levels to adapt to the new character physics.
  
• Fixed the frozen animation of the exit buttons when quitting and re-entering the pause menu.
  
• Minor audio corrections.
  
• Minor sprite corrections in level 6-4.
  
• Minor level redesign in Gamezone Cube.
  
• Fixed quicktime effect when replay the boss battle from Wonder Race (Gyga Cy-Wasp).
  

Even with all the additions, another patch could come after this one, but in the meantime, development will be soon on hold so you can have a happy holiday season and a new year 2025 with everything the game has to offer so far

The patch that follows the previous one is very little in comparison, but with one highlight to close out the year 2024:





Most of the non-localized texts finally have a Spanish localization, including texts for images and re-recorded videos.
The exceptions in this patch are texts such as some of Wonder Race, whose fonts are a bit more complex to recreate.
This complexity could increase if more languages are added to the game.

Among other small changes:

• Fixed the points that don't count when making contact with the feet.
  
• Vertical rotation can now be reversed with B key.
  
• Softening of the zoom sensitivity for more precise adjustments..
  

Until then, development will be on hold before the next patch or major update (which will probably come sometime in 2025).

Anyway, have a happy holiday and a happy new year

2025 is coming, and perhaps in the same year, one of the most important things that will coming to the game is shown in the following image:



This pixelated image shows the silhouettes of a pair of mysterious characters that will appear in Randy and Manilla's next major update.
They are scheduled to be released at the earliest between mid and late 2025.
For those who don't know, this update is part of the first block on the roadmap:



But as I explained in the Quantum City update, its development will be much longer and more ambitious. I hope your wait is worth it.
