Today we have quite a few things to talk about, so let’s dive in!
Sound Effects
The first work on sound effects is completed (it’s a first work because we’ll surely find some more effects to add and others to refine, while we keep developing the demo).
Now, the UI, the environment and the fights are way more enjoyable!
One of the cool things that we got to do was customizing both sound and visual effects when you hit an enemy, based on its material. So hitting a human without an armor will feel different than hitting a human with an armor or a robot.
More Characters Customization
We refined the skin material used for characters so that now we can easily add tattoos, scars, makeup and implants to them.
Another important addition to the game is the use of accessories on characters, like, for example, glasses and gas masks.
The new skin material paired with accessories will help us create a more diverse selection of characters that you’ll encounter – which is especially important for the demo, since our currently limited financial resources bounds us to having fewer characters than we’d like (if you want to help us with this, be sure to check this page).
Improving the Environment
The work that’s taking the most time at this point is about the environment. The plan is simple: add a ton of details and transform the slums into a place where everyone wants to live!
We have already improved most of the scenes in the map and we like what we are shaping. We’re confident that you’ll love the improved environment too!
Balancing and Getting Ready for More Tests
We planned further tests starting in the second half of August. Those are going to be crucial tests: if everything works fine, we’ll just be completing the final touch to deliver the demo to you.
Other than testing ideas and bug fixing, these tests will help balancing the game for good.
What’s Ahead?
The task list is getting short and many items in it are kind of quick to accomplish. If there aren’t unexpected troubles along the road, we should be getting to the demo 1.0 soon.
If you want to help us, don’t forget to support the game.
We’ll get in touch soon with more updates!
Great to hear news! Is there a rough estimate when the demo will be released? I’m so much looking forward to see some gameplay stuff 🙂
Hi Martin!
In about 20 days we’ll likely finish the work on the environment, which is currently taking most of our effort… it means that we’ll have more resources to take care of the remaining aspects of the game.
If nothing really bad pops out during the upcoming tests, in September we may able to give you the demo.
Awesome! That sounds really good!
Thank you, Martin!
Sounds good!
Thank you, Rudi!
Looks amazing!!
Thank you, Tye!
