Hello everyone!

Fallacy Quiz, the game I designed to test your critical thinking skills and to help you learn about misleading or incorrect reasoning is finally out of early access after months of work!

This update doesn't only bring new content but also adds way more features than I initially thought it would!

What's new in Fallacy Quiz ?

Version 0.4 was already packed with features, here's a list as a reminder:

• Solo or local multiplayer, Up to four players can play together. 
•  A great variety of fallacies: 50 different fallacy types.
• A virtual 3D book: The fallacies have definitions available in a glossary that the player can flip through as if it was a real one.
• Two difficulty levels: In expert mode, the player must not only identify if a statement is fallacious but they must also select the specific type of fallacy.
• A custom mode: Players can choose the difficulty, the number of rounds and questions and disable the timer if they want.
• Available in English and in French
• Full controller support

But here's what new:

A ton of new content!

Version 1.1 brings the total number of questions to 200, adds some new fallacy types and adds brand new illustrations. This is way more than the initial amount of content. The more you play the more chance you'll have to encounter tricky and divisive questions.

Previous content was also reworked and improved.

But this release is not only about new content, it's also about brand new features!

Achievements

One of the most exciting additions are achievements!

The game was released on Steam recently and achievements were added for the steam version. So when it came time to release 1.0 to itch.io, I couldn't settle for a subpar version for people who supported development and got the game in early access. That's why I spent some time making an internal achievement system so that you can enjoy achievements too!

There's a notification system to let you know when you unlock achievements, and there's a brand new achievement notebook. You can flip its pages to check which achievements you've unlocked and which ones you still have to get.

I'm really happy with the final result and I think it adds a lot to the experience.

Question History

A new screen is now available at the end of each quiz, the question history screen. This is for players that want to up their game.

It works in all modes, solo or multiplayer, and it let's you check what were the questions, what were the correct answers and what everyone answered. It was suggested to me, and it was a really good idea, so I made it happen!

It's a great way to learn from your mistakes, or settle some disagreements you had with other players during the game.

Secret difficulty option

I don't want to talk too much about that one, it's a secret, but there's a third difficulty option in the game. However, you need to work hard to unlock it!

Options and customization

The game already included a custom quiz mode, it was expanded with more options, including the ability to auto-pause between questions (now default in multiplayer mode).

The settings menu expanded from just adjusting volume and select language, to window options, graphics settings, and performance settings. It might be smoother to run the game on lower end hardware now that there are some options to lower quality, disable shadows etc.

I also added an advanced settings menu that let's you change your reading speed (so that the quiz timer can account for it), not everyone has the same reading speed!

And, don't do it, but you can also delete your save if needed!

Other changes

The game now include a stats page with a bunch of stats!

A new "perfect round" bonus was added, you get it if you get all questions correct during a round.

Also, I added film grain everywhere. I don't know why, I think it looks cool, lol.

Fixes and improvements

I could not possibly make a list of all the things that were fixed or improved since the early access version that would fit on this screen. Everything is more polished than ever!

That's it!

That's it, in 5 days, it will be the anniversary of the start of this project. I worked so hard for the last year on this quiz game. I can't be thankful enough to the people who supported the game's development and got the game in early access, I can't wait to know what you think about the final version!

If you didn't get it in early access, you can get it now!

If you like what I make, consider also supporting me by talking about the game around you. If you are able to, consider buying copies for your friends, or supporting me on ko-fi or on patreon.

Even if I feel like the game is great, even if the reviews are positive, even if people tell me the game is useful for them, it has not yet been a financially viable project, yet.

The story is not over! This release is only the beginning of the life of Fallacy Quiz. I'll continue to share about this amazing project of mine, and I hope it can reach and help as many people as possible!

Playing this game helps you detect fallacious reasoning, so if you don't play this game, you won't be able to detect any fallacious reasoning, right?

See you around!
