Dev Update (06/04/2023)

Added 2023-04-06 21:14:26 +0000 UTC

Hi!

Here's an update related to the upcoming Public Demo 1 v2 Steam build.

All hardware tests are now done, like making sure that the new inventory system works with different monitors / resolutions / aspect ratios.

On top of this, the sandbox level has been updated with all the "tutorial signs" and all that is left is some minor collision fixes and scene transition stuff related to that sandbox level.

I will be taking most of tomorrow as a free day and then I will polish some Village Map elements and take those developer playtest sessions probably on Sunday or Monday. This developer playtest session is not focused anymore on bug testing, it's more about playing "normally" and seeing if something sticks out from the longer playtest experience, like too loud volume levels for some new weapon audio events etc.

Once those playtest sessions are done, I will start updating the Steam page with new screenshots, new small trailer, store page texts and finally uploading the Public Demo 1 v2 build.

There is also one "company/business stuff" that I will have to handle related to Public Demo 2 (Q3) early next week but I'm pretty confident that if the Steam review process goes as expected (3-5 days) the demo should be live next weekend (14-16.4) or few days from that (17-19.4).

I will announce the demo update like in Public Demo 1, meaning there will be a small YT video and after the video the build is downloadable.

I will let you know once I start updating that Steam page and when the build is sent for Steam review.
