Play 1-3 cards. - New Quick Ripps. Fun lotto card rippers in 3 different values. - New Slot Machine. Wild Goose Chase. - New Slot Machine. Islandville Jackpots with free spin Bonus system. - Bug Fixes: Game saving bug fixes. - Bug Fixes: Lighting fixes at the beach and One Eye'd Billies indoors. - Added new controller support for Lotto and New Quick Ripps. Hello arcaders! it's update time! This update introduces the new Goose Lodge indoor location, 3 new gaming machines, Quick Ripps and a complete bingo system. I will be rolling out this new Goose Lodge indoor location in 2 phases (like I have done with all new locations). This gives me a chance to try some things on a smaller scale and adjust after I get more player feedback. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/8408a94effe0d5c8ddf93faed60e1067d50df542.jpg The largest part of this new update is the Bingo game system inside of the Goose Lodge. I really tried to capture the small town community Bingo hall in all of its "glory". Many people drive by Bingo halls on a daily basis and will never step foot into one of them. So now The Coin Game offers a way to fill your digital lungs with all that small town Bingo goodness. So get in there and grab an uncomfortable chair at a wobbly folding table and get to work! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/41b81aa64445bfc36e3a6a8889eaaff4f67b0e74.jpg After you insert your players card in the machine/table (next to purple mohawk Rhonda in the middle of the room) you can choose from 1-3 Bingo Cards. They are $2.50 per card/per game. As the Bingo caller calls out the randomly drawn numbers you must mark them on your bingo cards with a blue "dab" (or dot). If you match 5 in a row before all of the other bots, you win the whole pot. You can see the value of the game you are playing on the Goose Lodge wall monitor (see below images). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/d7c20e9734a01f68b9a5e5aff969285c362ffaa6.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/099e77e98e4470e160a90c8ee0a19620c31b5843.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/933ee61bf4ce9d01400dfe025b39f56086e8ca01.jpg The center spot of all cards is a free spot and will start each game as already "dabbed". You must have the called numbers "dabbed" (clicked showing a blue dot) on your bingo card for the "bingo" win to count. If the bingo is good and called before the other bots, the payout staff will come to your table and pay you out in cash. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/376e98e61d9027fe2724751e21387521eb80fa4d.gif Throughout phase 1 there will be some dust and boxes laying around the Goose Lodge as Gary is still setting up his new business. No, not the adorable but annoying Swan-Goose Gary... the other Gary. What's that? You don't know Gary? Oh forgive me. Gary is the bot who's "head" glitters like a Bass boat and the one who still wears his bowling shirt and shoes from the 9...The Coin Game is 30% off in the Spring SaleMar 13, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsBeat the last of those pesky Winter Blues by spending Spring in Islandville!

Alongside the arcades, you can also visit the likes of Lenny’s Water Wonderland, IslandTime Amusements, and much more. Explore the sights of Islandville as you cruise in your golf buggy, ‘accidentally’ feed Gary the Goose some of those glorious Cheesy Poofs, and set off some fireworks!

That’s enough blabbin’ from me, now go hit the arcade! Sarah @ Kwalee {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/b100a76aa8331f498c9db1ac481433414734fc90.pngQuick Dev update!Mar 6, 2025 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/011de26242ebc10b4b25d2acf381b9a1bfefe184.jpg Quick Dev Update for the Goose Lodge Bingo Hall. First off... I want to extend a warm welcome to all the new Islandville residents! We are honored to have you here enjoying some ticket redemption fun of the 90's with us! I really believe that 2025 is going to be the best year yet for The Coin Game. I have been busy finishing the Goose Lodge Bingo game content update and also working with a new team to upgrade the source project to a new version of Unity 2022. long story short... I underestimated the task of upgrading a 150GB project to a newer version of the Unity engine halfway through multiplayer development. Hey I'm learning here! The current roadmap is to release this Goose Lodge update around the end of March. If all goes as planned, this March Goose Lodge update "should" be the last update with the old version of Unity (2018). The newer Unity (2022) version that myself and the team are currently working on in the background runs much better and has all but fixed the garbage collection "glitching" problems that we have been facing for years. We still have a couple months of work to do to convert all the other input systems and game saving systems to the new engine but Unity (2022) will be worth the wait. Enough about the boring stuff Kevin... where's the beef? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/c10d8b50ac2408b3ff51155448fa825ffce143dd.jpg So... The next content update will focus on the inside of the Islandville Goose Lodge. It will include a complete Bingo Gaming hall where you can compete against the local Islandville Bots in a "professional" Bingo game. Keep track of your numbers called with an "ink dabber" and then scream BINGO when you have a row of 5 Dabs. It sounds pretty simple... but can get crazy fast. Stay focused and get lucky and you can walk away with some nice loot. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/5d4cb63ff35bd273c3bdec4fce3391216152ac38.jpg You will be able to play with multiple cards and have to be patient to beat the bots. I mean.. they are robots after all. I am working on a couple more small surprise machines in the Goose Lodge as well but we will have to wait to find out what those are. ;) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/840403410242fc37eff9f0225553bced3a715e1f.jpg As I have said before I can't rush this process of upgrading the source project files. It must be done. The end quality of the game is just as important as adding shiny new features. So THANK YOU for being patient with me and my new team as we go back and fix dumb mistakes I made years ago building it. That's about it for this small Dev News update. I will have even more info when the Goose Lodge Bingo hall comes out but I just wanted to touch base and let you all know a little more about the future roadmap. Thank you for your support of The Coin Game!

Fun Holiday decorations update!Dec 13, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHO HO HO! Hello Islandvillers! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/04bfacf80bc213e290d55fcd5936f6e3beabb6b3.jpg I had a chat with Jerry Bot while filling up the family van last week and he said he told all the bots around Islandville that we needed to up the "festive cheer" this year. He said he cant be the only one who loves the holidays and they all agreed. So Jerry, Barry and the worker bots went crazy last week and decorated the whole island. True story. I actually wanted to do this last year but I was busy cramming in the water park, so there was just not enough time. This year, I went all out and put up Christmas decorations all around the island. I hope you like it. I had an absolute blast making it. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/e01403e60370bb839b4da858396a01b2fb26e646.jpg I always loved small town pole decorations and also when businesses would put a huge Santa sleigh on the roof. The cheesier the better. I had to throw in a couple of those. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/bb9731aff4f9317dea413c8ed5238973ea898f0d.jpg Barry organized all the Main Street lights that are overhead, and also went a little overboard on his pawn building. He loves this time of year. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/b4e03737af4be6ea31f8e7c8380a33ad1f61a1a5.jpg Everyone has that one neighbor that just LOVES this time of the year. Haha. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/6144435c61b042259443d12278629183f9de3fba.jpg So thats about it. Just some fun ambiance for the holiday season. Take a cruise in the Mini Van and enjoy the smooth Christmas tunes on the radio (R Key) while you take in the islands decorations. This update is just for fun and will be temporary for the holiday season. After this I will be working on the next location (Goose Lodge) and I will also be working with the new coding team to bring The Coin Game into a newer version of Unity. It's going to be a LOT of work but the game deserves it! See you all next year. Thank you again for supporting The Coin Game, and don't forget to support your LOCAL arcade! Merry Christmas.

It's update time! This is the first update working with my new partners and all I can say is... So far. So Wonderful! They are showing me more opportunities for the game than I even knew existed. We are going to build great things together. That I know. I now have the ability to just work on the GAME. It's amazing. (I mean... I even have a teammate that checks my speling and grammer. I prob don't need it thuogh.) So BIG THANK YOU to the Kwalee team. Well Barry's in the background yelling at me right now "Enough suit talk junior... lets get to the gravy!". So here we go. This update brings one new vehicle, a couple of new games, a couple of new locations, a programmable nanny bot and some good old fashion bug fixing. I made sure to spend some time fixing older bugs that were haunting players for years. I am really striving to make the game better and not just bigger. But hopefully there will be no more bicycles on the roof of Jerrys. I see players are exchanging strats in the discord on how to fetch their bikes from the roof. If you haven't checked out the discord I recommend it. Lots of fun and some great islandvillers in there. The Coin Game memes alone are worth it. This updates features: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/fbe432aad1ffcc527f8e5229b2a1bcd79d335764.jpg - Nanny Bot is now programmable just like Stinky Jimmy the Junkman and Skippy the Scout newspaper bot. If you are playing survivor mode, the old bucket of bolts can be programmed to go shopping for you and Gary. You must have $20.00 in your ICU Savings account for the program to work. If you have the money, click on her yellow button on her back and she will "open up" with a key pad. Then you can enter the 4 digit code into the key pad and she will deliver the goods to your kitchen counter. She is not the fastest but she gets great deals from Jerry on items as they come from the same bot manufacturing plant. She will probably complain a little but she just doesn't like to be away from her Gary. If you program her and then go to sleep in survivor mode, she will have your goodies in the morning on the table. Remember that to program a "programmable" bot you simply click the back round yellow button on them and then click the key pad when it rotates out. Then you can enter the 4 digit code. It will give an error if you don't have the money in your savings or the code is entered wrong. The programmable bots rear LED will be green when in "default" mode and Nanny Bot will be purple when she is doing a job or in "program" mode. You can cancel a program with code 0000. I don't know why you would do that but I coded it in. lol. Just in case. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/88d124b7d8d60c2435ef8e93ecfc14379f633b1a.jpg - I added a Used Family Mini Van for sale in Jerry's parking lot. $1800 is a steal for a unit like this.

As Kevin mentioned in his previous announcement, he’s recently partnered with us at Kwalee to work together towards the 1.0 launch of The Coin Game. So while Kevin and the new coding teams begin to “re-construct” Islandville to a new higher standard of living, I will be helping out by creating some new community areas that Islandville has been without for too long. You may have already noticed me lurking around the Steam Forums. My name is Madison, but you can call me Maddie! I’m going to be the main community manager for The Coin Game, so I’ll be focusing on creating some new community spaces where all Islandvillers can chat, relax, and give feedback. With that awkward introduction out of the way, I’m excited to announce that we’ve officially opened The Coin Game Discord! You can either follow the link on the store page or click on the big button below to join us and check it out 👇 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/547bdcf319a7adb8cca7531e3c6248eebf1e5af6.png Because I am a little newer to the game than some of you veteran Islandvillers, I have spoken to Kevin and he and I agree that we want our next steps to be led by you all as much as possible. For this reason, we’ve laid out a community roadmap that we hope you’ll all enjoy taking part of, although please feel free to make suggestions either in the comments or in the new Discord. Here are the next steps we’ll be taking to build out the community spaces for The Coin Game: I’ll be reaching out to and assigning Discord moderators from the community based on Kevin’s suggestions. I’ll be inviting you all to make suggestions for what the names of our new roles should be. All new Discord members are called Islandvillers by default, but we now need names for our moderators, our community superstars, our content creators, and our (future) giveaway prize winners. Once the role name suggestion deadline is up, we’ll hold a vote to determine what the new roles will be called! Please make your suggestions in the Role Name Suggestions thread in the feedback channel of the Discord. The deadline to submit suggestions is Friday October 11th. After the role names are decided, I’ll be asking you all to make some suggestions on what emojis you’d like to see made for the Discord. Depending on how many suggestions we get, we may put this one to a vote or I might present the suggestions to Kevin so he can decide which emojis we start off with (but they’ll always be a chance to add more, so don’t worry if your suggestion doesn’t get picked). Please use the Emoji Suggestions thread in the feedback channel of the Discord to make emoji suggestions. There is no deadline for this one, so make as many suggestions as you like whenever you like! I’m going to try to source some cool items that could be used as competition or giveaway prizes. Please feel free to share any prize suggestions or competition ideas in the feedback channel of the Discord and I’ll check them out for inspiration. Further down the l...Dev Update & Publisher AnnouncementAug 19, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHey Islandvillers. It's been a minute since I have posted a dev update. I am sorry about that and the lack of info but I had to wait until I had more news to bring you all up to speed on the changes happening behind the scenes here at The Coin Game. You see... when I started this game 6 years ago I never would have suspected it would be this large and impactful. In the beginning, it was just a fun art project meant to play an old coin pusher from my local county fair as a kiddo. I then put it on Steam Greenlight and people voted it in pretty quickly. Here we are 6 years later and there is an entire island full of arcades, jobs and lots of silly bots. I never would have thought it would be this big and slowly over time I came to the reality that Uncle Phil and devotid would need some professional outside codesmiths to take this game to the next level. So I decided around Mar/April of this year to buck up and seek outside partnerships and hire some smarter people than me. As a stubborn do-it-ALL-yourself kind of person that was very hard to face but the game is so much bigger than me now and it had to be done. It's taken months and lots of work to find the right help/partners for The Coin Game but I have found the right partners. Remember... I am a game developer, not a business suit, so this is something I have had to learn along the way. Also...Side note. HUGE THANKS to Steam for building the Greenlight and Early Access programs and allowing me to build this title. Without the Steam Greenlight incubation system in place, I wouldn't have had the chance to even build this game. I can't say too much yet but it will bring The Coin Game to a new more professional level that it deserves. I have dropped the ball when it comes to the games "socials" and general interaction with the community. I am so busy coding, modeling and running the backend that it is near impossible to react to all the needs of the front end. So with this, I’m happy to announce that I’ve teamed up with UK-based publisher Kwalee! This new team-up will help me with my day-to-day tasks while ensuring I have creative control and freedom over The Coin Game. The team over at Kwalee will be supporting me with marketing, production, and anything else in the future. Together, we will improve the quality of life for the residents of Islandville! So, keep an eye out for more to come in the future. Thank you for being patient during this time and thank you for supporting The Coin Game! Kevin {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/176188fcdfba19630c425b110f6d465ec1c311b6.png Christmas at Lenny's WaterPark and New Mall Cinema!Dec 20, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey Islandvillers! First off, I want to say thank you and welcome to all the new Islandvillers that have joined us this year. Without all of you NONE of this would be possible. So THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. Your support allows me to do this full time and I am very grateful. I am also very excited for the new year coming.... as I really feel that 2024 is going to be the best year yet for The Coin Game. For now lets get to the new update. This update is a little thing I have been working on in the background for a few months along side of the regular stuff I have been working on (Mall, Optimizing and Multiplayer.. etc). I have always wanted to add some kind of water attraction to the island and I finally got it done enough to share with all of you. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/2aee0af435eb6e314c7fbb7c24f320e02fef74ba.jpg WATERPARK: New Lenny's Water Wonderland Waterpark. It's all new and located near the Beach on the East side of the island. The new waterpark is complete with Waterslides, Wave pools, Dunk Tanks and of course a lazy river to just relax at the end of a hard arcade bender. It is open 24 hours a day... Seven days a week and the best part is that it is FREE to all Islandville residents (yes that's you). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/dc008ee8922ead1d96ee605d1eac7b348ffd3b9e.jpg To ride the Lazy River just head into the entrance and click on the single yellow innertube that is at the edge of the Lazy River under the awning. You will be loaded automagically. You can rotate the tube by paddling with your hands left and right. Nice and lazy... Just like its supposed to be. Let the waterfalls splash off your forehead as you plan your next payday at the pawn shop. You will auto exit at about the same location after completing a full "lap". Its actually very relaxing. haha. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/1b8b7974f48cd3848bea922b9a3ed5de8a7324cf.jpg To ride the two waterslides just walk to the top of the stairs and you will see 4 tubes at the top. Two on the right and two on the left. Click on one of them to choose right or left side. Single or double tube. Single tube is just you alone on a tube and double is when you go plummeting with a bot friend in a two seat tube. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/aa3f522ffc07df714a4ef9648bd992766e1b8eb8.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/7cf7a73e367432f172e33f5406d4e9fc59249c31.jpg You can exit any "ride" at the waterpark by hitting the E Key (Or exit button with a controller). Here's Lenny the Mascot. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/a2403cc4d163231844421c7e93960cc4a67eefc2.jpg The Wave pool has a simple physics system on it that will "surf" you up to the beach if you are in the waves "pocket". It is still a WIP and will change to be a little more advanced in the future. Currently the floating bots are animated but I really want to be able to interact more with them in the future but for now I wanted them in the mix bobbing around. They look pretty happy to me. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/d3f771e9ed857960cfb0e9f...Dev Update: New Mall Cinema Teaser Pics and infoSep 23, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsI am very excited to post pics of the upcoming Mall Cinema that is coming next to The Coin Game. It will be on the end of the Islandville mall in the NEXT update. I had to "massage" the lighting in the mall quite a bit to get the theater to run smoothly during the playing of movies. AGAIN... the Cinema will be available in the next update to The Coin Game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/b20498431be52f61f4559e142f82f04f93322380.jpg I am currently finishing up a "feature film" starring Popcorn Pete and a bunch of the Islandville characters that you can watch for about $5.50. It has been fun making it and challenging myself to do something that I have never even tried before. There is just so much in "film making" that I have been getting a little lost in it. haha. I still have a bit to go with audio and other little things like silly rolling credits at the end and a couple funny commercials for the concession stand. I may even make an AMA from Gary about the dangers of tanning beds. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/780903763ac4236e103c3d26751a48aa20a23dbe.jpg When complete, the movie theater will also have the ability to watch .mp4 movies from your local hard drive. Maybe you have a movie you always wanted to watch at the theater... now you will be able too! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/f06678ff3c2b089da21d90788475b1080a018c35.jpg All of the 80 seats spots will be available to sit anywhere you like... unless it is occupied by a bot or their family. Then you will have to pick another one. Hopefully a bot doesnt come and sit in front of you and talk the whole time.... well I guess you can move to a new spot. But how rude huh? You might even see Gary and Nanny Bot there. They have been known to sneak away and catch a matinee every now and then. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/d0f6da085c2c707b94219fc4b9db58a3bdfab7ef.jpg I have been working on making the island feel more alive and having other bots in the theater causing small interruptions will def add to the movie going experience. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/17858e3206de6d0a1d742675331a02d7df4f5132.jpg and a couple extra future location teaser pics: - A new huge waterpark complete with waterslides, a lazy river and a wave pool full of bots to dunk. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/1fcf638c1a086c7a34f17076eead1e79405b922b.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/90d7eb4716fb6400d4fb23f3d4121f904877bbcc.jpg and last....Yes.

The rest of the mall will come in a couple phases. This first phase will include everything in the current beta (minus the Santa stage and the snow!) with the addition of some new games at the new Arcade Castle arcade, new bank account system, programmable bots to hire, goofy machines and a ZolBot fortune teller treasure hunt. The second phase of the mall update will be the movie theater and a couple more surprises. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/8c0baca568ad81169334c69d7d4f95b770d00066.jpg This first stage of this Islandville Mall includes the new Arcade Castle, a food court with four eatery locations, Spunkies Prize Store, a shady public restroom hangout area complete with lotto scratchers and smooth public radio pumping 24/7 throughout the air waves. The movie theater and a couple more stores will come later in development. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/623a7b98b598496e4634cde18dadf8a59b504c69.jpg The new arcade is called "Arcade Castle". It is complete with many of Islandvilles most popular games and a few new ones. Just like the other arcades on the island, there is a free money machine for Birthday mode and plenty of great prizes to win. As always the arcade is packed with little tykes going bonkers. I hope you enjoy. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/eafeb0145db7269af27b4a184828b5a01fb7b749.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/fbd443263ef21f1806787c82c1527130876ce948.jpg The Arcade is themed after a local mall arcade I went to as a youngster. It went out of business many years ago but I hope this will let it live on for all of us to enjoy. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/946767abbca24d6add41c4f8af6b6972aadb6ae8.jpg The new arcade also features a fun ZolBot fortune teller machine. If you are skilled enough to get the coin in ol'ZolBot's mouth, he will drop you a collector card. Once you collect all four color cards you can see the entire map in your tree house by placing them on the map. You may be able to find some goodies if you can read the map and locate some loot boxes. There is now a light always on in the tree house. That way you can see and dont get scared out in the woods. ;) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/3550c4037eadca13d402c2e6800e4dc9b053f4af.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/97f02bc102eb6e78ba73a981c30f16aac70f1567.jpg New machines at Arcade Castle: "Pumpkin Pusher" marble coin pusher: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/97a01e009017753f6c080bd3a388f381057a76de.jpg The newest coin pusher at Arcade Castle in the mall is a marble style of "coin pusher". It has two different sizes of marbles. The smaller white "Ghost" balls and orange "Pumpkin" scoring balls. The idea of the game is to drop the white marbles through the pins on the gameboard into the 7 different traps. As each white marble is dropped th...New Islandville Mall BETA Preview out now!Dec 24, 2022 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/f3ee8f56c427469288b9ae909525d801bd514ca4.jpg Hello fellow Islandvillers! Tis the Season! I have a small last minute Christmas gift for you all! I have uploaded a "Beta Preview" for the Holiday Season. The Beta password is christmasbeta. I thought I would do this to show you all some progress of the next location in The Coin Game. I have been very quiet building and changing a lot of things for the next major update.... but I wanted to take a minute and put out a small BETA preview to show the new location with a little Christmas flare to it. As with any beta there may be bugs and it is not optimized in any way yet. This is just a small unfinished "peek" for the holidays. We all remember the "local mall" when we were young. Window shopping, crowded stores, Christmas music everywhere and of course getting your pic taken with Santa. If you grew up in the old days like me before cell phones and online shopping you would know that people actually went out to the mall just to hang out. No destination in mind except being seen and socializing with other shoppers during the holidays. I know... Sounds crazy right? As crazy as it sounds... It was wonderful and I hope you all enjoy my small simple rendition of it. The mall will change a bit through development as I still have many things to add. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/9aeeadaac8c6156c9984ae47996e6a2c33ce9098.jpg The new Beta Preview includes a couple of the new stores coming to the mall. It also contains a very early version of the new arcade called Arcade Castle. The BETA Preview version is not optimized much at all... so expect some hiccups and low frame rates. Im getting about 90 FPS average with an old GTX2060 and an i7. When you are inside the mall there is no optimization zones yet, so all of the stores are on at once. Again.... This is a beta preview just to show off the new mall for the Holiday Season. Your old saved games will work but I advised you to start a new game with the beta. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/ed4da7a0ea9d84657c97f94b7974f2ee151eed17.jpg Arcade Castle The new Arcade Castle Beta version does not have any of the new arcade machines or prizes in it yet. (Hint: the next new machines will be a new coin pusher, a new claw machine and a new arcade shooter cabinet...but more on those later.) These new machines will come later with the "full release" of the mall. For this BETA preview I have filled Arcade Castle with some of my favorite prizes and machines from the years of building them. I hope you enjoy my temporary choices. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/adb14eea2a36cede766b6e53a0530cc5ba099e99.jpg Spunkies Gifts You can now buy many of the "nice" prizes with cash instead of grinding on the arcade machines all day. The prize machine works just like the ticket kiosks but just accepts coins/money instead of tickets. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/5a60b674f6221633bdd7324f5486360e174fd5a3.jpg Food Court: Lemonista Islandville Sweets Pirate Pizza Jerrys Gourmet Sam...Islandville Mall Dev Update and 4 DAY devotid SALESep 22, 2022 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/1414f576b045275d832442f0e8c4895c4d01431a.jpg Hello Islandvillers! Just wanted to share some more pics of the coming Islandville Mall. I have finished all the malls mesh, collision colliders, Interior & exterior lighting and I am currently finishing the texturing on the stores. I didnt realize how much area and extra little items there is in an entire mall. After the texturing is done, I am going to finish up the Arcade Castle and its new arcade machines. I have been reading the wishlist comments and trying to add some last minute favorites that I see mentioned the most. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/88a050815156d7cf7c5e3d59969acf0b65fbd758.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/c971da4a6944972a7c2a6bf603117f6af32daea9.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/daca16ff7c2d293708e60a903763b6d50524594f.jpg I have really enjoyed looking through thousands of pictures of old malls across the country and I am trying to put a little bit of all of them in here for proper nostalgia. Here is a couple of the new "stores" in the mall. Arcade Castle: New arcade with new and old arcade machines from the other arcade locations. This will be the main attraction at the new mall. Spunkies Gifts: A new retail store that will allows players to purchase prizes with cash right from the mall. Candy Crazy: Bulk Candy Store for food. Sneaker Bot: More info later... Islandville Credit Union: More info later... Food Court/ Pirate Pizza: Cheap pizza and Pirate Punch combos Food Court/ Jerrys Gourmet Sammys: Good healthy but pricey alternative. Food Court/ Lemonista: pricey fancy Lemon drink. Food Court/ Islandtime Sweets: Elephant ears and other combos. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/a4c782c4795ccba99ce70adc78ab1f0de1dd5b88.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/48f076d586d97c1162bacb5358082baccad72d30.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/a9bf114a1dfabc4af2df9dc1bfde2e9c2db63f9e.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/2b90a86f1c18a2995dde2acb9582b3957cd7691e.jpg Also... This weekend marks a 10 year milestone for me as an indie game dev. Whew... how time whips by. So for that I am putting all of my games on sale for the weekend (4 Days only). This is the deepest discount there will be for a LONG time on The Coin Game. Once the Mall and Multiplayer are finished the game will have another small price increase. So this is a great time to get it cheap. As always.... I THANK ALL OF YOU for making this game possible. Now back to work for me. KevinDev Update: New Islandville Mall Work in Progress picsJul 29, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsThe Coin Game Dev Update: First off I want to welcome all the new players and THANK you all for supporting The Coin Game! It has been a wonderful last few years and a dream come true to be able to build this game for you. We still have a long way to go though and I could not be more excited for the future of The Coin Game. Its been a while since I have said anything on the next steps of The Coin Game. So lets get caught up. It saddens me to say but the multiplayer feature of the game is still on hold and going to take longer than I previously thought. So I have been finishing up more locations and new arcades in the mean time. I will share more info on the multiplayer delay when I have it. Here's what I am currently working on... (ALL PICS ARE WORK IN PROGRESS AND PRE LIGHTING/TEXTURING) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/40a9da6006b579a728aea4372f6e067c0722309a.jpg Islandville is getting a MALL! That's right 100's of thousands of square feet of indoor shopping and loitering goodness! The coming Islandville Mall will feature many stores, funny new characters, a movie theater, a food court and a new "Arcade Castle" with new games and machines. The coming mall is inspired by 90-00's era shopping malls that are spread all around the US. This era was a time back when being "socially active" meant leaving the house to peacock around the local shopping center for "looks" and not "likes". Getting to play real arcade games as a kid was tough and it meant venturing out in to the great big world. You were risking it all on that crappy back tire of a borrowed neighbors sisters bike. But you took the chance an went for it. The mall was worth the ride... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/3131c1cda4790cc065fb38d387081b0677a3c791.jpg The next arcade coming is influenced by the Alladin's Castle that was in my home town mall. I spent many days there. I would ride my bike 4-5 miles with friends and live off of hot pretzels and free ice water from the gracious clerk at the "gourmet" pretzel stand. Life was simple. The games were all pretty lame but we loved them. Maybe not as much as we loved shaving "steps: into the sides of our mullets but you get the idea. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/80e7828f406768f68b974129954233ae2184fab2.jpg Over the last couple months I have modeled all the "structure" and parking lots of the mall and working on fitting it into the current map of Islandville. When I get it done and release it, it will be the largest location on the entire island. I am currently in the unwrapping process and will be texturing the new models soon. I will release more pics of the mall when I get some textures on it. This stage of development is never really that beautiful or interesting so I find myself not sharing much. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/62890ab776a76d925ea13b7a0a22b5d46f294e19.jpg Overall the mall is huge. haha.

GENERAL NEWS Thank you very much for all the support of The Coin Game! Also... WELCOME to all the new players of The Coin Game! We are honored to have you and are VERY Thankful that you chose The Coin Game. Here at devotid... we take wasting your time very seriously. ;) I have been working quietly in the background on this new update for a couple months (ok... more like 6 months). I am really glad to finally have it completed as my wife and I went through a large move over the last 5 months. We also had two very old Weiner doggies (16 and 17) that we spent precious last months with at our new home. All of this at once.... and no internet for 2.5 months made working on the project virtually impossible. It was also a really large job selling the old house but worth it in the end. We lived in our old home for 17 years. Its tough to leave a comfy familiar space and rebuild somewhere new. It took us about 2 years to find a nice quiet location..... but we are very lucky to have found a home in the woods. We now have a home office for us to continue working on The Coin Game were we get to stare at Gary's geese friends all day on the neighboring pond. Thank you again to all of The Coin Game supporters for helping me make this happen for my family. Without all of you NONE of this would be possible. Silly to think that 6-7 years ago I was working part time at BestBuy installing car stereos, painting used cars in my driveway and making wakeskates at night in my garage... to now building the project of my dreams on Unity 3D. If you are passionate about games... Look into the wonderful community that Unity game engine has to offer. I could barely turn a computer on when I started this journey. Now I am more excited. More Empowered and even more inspired than I have ever been. And also.... Never give up. #indiegamedev HOLIDAY UPDATE Dec 22nd 2021 Update #024 Version: V0.9943 Build# 7920670 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/559e80e7c53912f89b73e25f8377edeef7ffde7f.jpg New Radio Controlled Sailboats: One Eye'd Billies still had open area in the back... so I finished up the Radio Control Boat pond. Players can now earn tickets by piloting a wooden radio controlled sailboat around the pond and collect life rafts worth 50 tickets each. There is a time limit so be sure to hurry through all of the sea going traffic. If you get the minimum number of rings you will earn a 500 ticket bonus on top of your score. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/62aa01b76f1328975730627d5a2d6d5a70781ea6.jpg This is a small replica of the old Radio Controlled boats from Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio.

Update day! I have finished a few new machines for One Eye'd Billie's, some fun shooting galleries and also some new achievements. And as always... as many bug fixes as possible. ENJOY! New Supporter Edition of the coin game is now available for $4.99 (Gold Watch, In game poster and other cosmetic items to help support The Coin Game.) Thank you for your support! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1267250 And now for the update. Combo Craze. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/812fa24b250e586542f26d64203ca0cd3670789b.jpg It is a game of skill were you must stop the rotating line on the dot to crack the combination 50 times in a row. The increasing speed and rotating angles are a fun challenge to get just right. I really enjoy games at the arcade that are "mostly" skill based. They are also the easiest to code too as there are no algorithms to fandangle and tweak. Popcorn Petes Pirate Plunder. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/4c890cf447cd1ff13fb876edbeb9fd7109ce1a73.jpg Everyone loves Popcorn Pete! This new machine is a "plinko" style ball drop game. Press the button to fire a canon ball from the "SS Popcorn" and land in a treasure chest of tickets. It features a translucent LCD screen overlaid on the cabinets glass to give cool celebration graphics and counting screens. There is a center target that has a increasing bonus to win. Try your luck on the Popcorn Pete's Pirate Plunder game and win a boat load of tickets! Pile Up. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/4b19b49ecb022aab42886799127002b96b54fb1c.jpg Pile Up is a stacking blocks kind of game. There is a left to right sliding handle on the front of the machine to move the base platform. When the blocks fall from the top you simply need to stack them up to the ticket winning lines. Seems easy right? Just wait until the stack gets a little taller... and then TIMBER!!!! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/e87e660d240b5f19ec5ceb20ed13a4fe5e60b21f.jpg Roadside Shootin Gallery {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/7b956dd49e92bd270e9a338a5107948c49b0824d.jpg The new shooting galleries at One Eye'd Billie's has two sides. On the left is the "Fun" shooting gallery that will issue tickets for hitting the small targets near each "feature". The rifles use a laser light and use no real ammo. There is a spinning water wheel of chance and plenty more silly reactions to shoot at. You get a total of 15 shots for each round and there is no time limit. Clay Pigeon Skeet Shoot {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32533218/52ee86fb470b6a1bede3c2deaf8e2b2c6729eae8.jpg The Skeet Shoot on the right is a timed game of shooting skill with fun pellet guns and clay pigeons. You will get a specified amount of time and unlimited shots to hit as many targets as possible. For now all of the pigeons are the same value. If you hit more that 42 targets you get a 500 ticket bonus. This is a kind of version 1.0 and I have plans to expand on this later in development. EXTRAS: Quickplay Mode {STEAM_CLAN_IMAG...
