- Our new game network SWGIO.COM - 5 August 2022
We've had a lot of trouble getting seen on steam. They seem to push us to the back and not let us get much visibility. So we've created our own gaming network that lets you play games on your phone without downloading them, compete with others directly or for high score, co op, and post social posts. Our network is run and moderated by humans, not algorithms. And we curate what makes it based on our own criteria that are determined by actual people. Also there are no bots on our network, unlike certain bird themed networks. We hope you join us in this adventure to take our games and our community to the next level, reach out to me @michaelplzno if you want info or an invite to our new space for games! Here is our video about the new update: And here is a link to our site: SWGIO.COM

- Verion v0.45 - More localization fixes. - 3 November 2021
This should have all in game text ready for localization.
- Small Localization Fix - 25 October 2021
Added a few extra localization options.
- Stardust Hints - Baby Game Fixes - 4 October 2021
Small tweaks to the Baby Game and also added the hint system for Stardust so he doesn't say the same thing over and over! Now there are a bunch of hints that will notify you and also small talk for when you press the ? button and there is nothing to explain.
- v0.42 - More Localization Tweaks - 13 September 2021
Added the option to add the size paramater in a localization tag: STARDUST OFFICE This means you can override the default font size to deal with long words by making the font smaller. Also when the system cannot load a localization file it shows an error message in game rather than just having all the text say ERROR. This error msg should help you find the mistake in your localization file.
- v0.41 - Localization Fun - 13 September 2021
Now you can modify localization.txt in the game's directory, by accessing the game's installed files via the steam client to be any language you want! The file must be valid XML and you should not modify the key values for the text fields, just the information inside the text brackets. You cannot use inside the text fields because this will ruin the XML so if you want to use them you must use < or > Also we added some special codes {br} is for a line break. {green} starts green text, {black} starts black text and {end} ends the text color. Do not translate these codes, just leave them in your translation, you will see that in the game there is a line break wherever {br} is in the localization. Use this strategically! If you have a localization for the game in your favorite language, just find me on social and send me the files and I may even make your version the official localization f…
- MGZ: Nursery Update! - 20 July 2020
There is a new area in the star base laboratory, it was designed for you to hatch and raise your stars. It includes a new mini game, new setting, new NPC's and with a new set of actions that brings along a brand new difficulty. Instead of playing the old hand guessing game, now there is Baby Game. Each time you need to replenish your Baby Star's mood you can play a dot connecting game, the trick is to connect all the dots and also fill in the board completely. Its a fun logic puzzle, and each time you play there is a randomly generated board. Features are similar from the ones we had before, but now you must educate, feed and look after you pet carefully or they can flee the lab. We are removing the death of stars, and instead replaced it with losing pets into space. Hatching new stars will cost extra in game Zoot. Baby Stars aren't fully aware of themselves, that's why Stardust's OWO O…
- Big Zoot Update! - 5 May 2020
We've spent a lot of time working out the economy for the food upgrades in Matchymart and now there is no limit to the amount of Zoot you can collect. Fix bugs on older machines. Add interactive elements to splash screen. You can interact with, throw and move, coins in Xanadu and the splash screen. Zoot is rendered as big numbers with suffixes for very high values. Food can be upgraded in Matchymart. You can build special ships that are worth tons of Zoot. Special ships value can be upgraded. Salad takes longer to digest than other food and is up-gradable. Corndog gives you a chance to build a big ship worth more. Eating a snack transforms you into that snack. Snacks help you train your pet by forcing them to do personality actions. There is a thought gear between personality actions to help you train your Star. You can collect Xanadu Coins for earning tons of Zoot. Add polish to text e…
- MGZ Updates! - 10 March 2020
Last year we ran into a critical error in the build which caused a lot of heartache to resolve. It was mostly a graphical glitch that caused older desktops to crash. Every single time we tried to update we would run into the same problem. We had to revise our new sprite system, fixing a memory leak in the process and had to rewrite the entire system as we found no solution through Unity's code. It was more effective as it loads faster now, but that -still- didn't fix the problem. The menu window would instantly crash the game as a visual glitch in older computers. Eventually, we had to rewrite the parsing code after testing hundreds of builds to finally make the build run smoothly again. It took us months to work this out, but we finally did! If you would like to read up on more about this programming headache then read on Michael's entry about it right here. Now we move forward with mo…

- Meet The Rocket Surgeons - 13 December 2018
https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F6856690%2Ff45276e52aa556e90b4a28e15e7bee3f01785834.png MatchyGotchy happened as a result of Matchy Star. While working with Matchy Star, we wanted to give these cute characters a life of their own. This is where the idea of interacting with them as virtual pets came into the Matchyverse. Matchy Star is the original character, and he explores the Alpha System where he meets all the other stars on the way. Originally called gems, as part of a match 3 design, eventually they all became characters instead and we call them Stars now thanks to MatchyGotchy. The stars were given a purpose in space, they want to grow to become rocket surgeons. It comes from that quirky mix of ‘rocket science’ and ‘brain surgery’, commonly used as a light hearted and fun take joke to suggest high intelligence or higher qualifications. Each of their…
