Hey y'all! As you've seen so far we've been doing well in sticking to our original Early Access roadmap. While the schedule I initially revealed was a bit of a tight one, I was confident that I'd be able to hit all the targets, barring any kind of catastrophe.
Well, I uh don't think I need to tell you that something just like that happened.
Unfortunately this means I have to push back our next update to early April instead of the end of this month. It's been crazy trying to reorganize our schedules and refocus on making games, but I'm finally in a good place to where I can start makin' levels and improvements again.
While this will also push back our original May estimate of finishing the game back to June, this will also give me a chance to work on other components of the game. The original tight schedule didn't allow for me to really dig into the meat of the game to make engine improvements, and with this delay I'm going to do just that! This includes:
- More great voice work by negaoryx and Havana Mahoney! There are a number of great improv lines that I can't wait to add to the game.
- Ability to remap the right stick for auto-serve so that the gamepad functions more like CSD 2.
- The ability to customize your truck to be much larger in scope than planned. Originally I just wanted around a dozen or two dozen trinkets and only have the ability to turn them on or off. Now there will be trinket updates once a month with a much more comprehensive editor that allows you to fine tune how you want your trinkets to be displayed!
- Better subtitle support for cutscenes.
- And lots more!
You can expect v0.75 to include a brand new territory and the Trinkets editor as well as a few of the above improvements in early April!
Thanks everyone and I deeply apologize for the delay. I hope all of you are safe and doing well in these crazy times, and I'll be back next week with a preview of all the fun goodies we have in store. Take care,
-David
