The Big Scary Update Alpha 1
Escape From Earth Alpha 1 is going to be one of the biggest updates we have done to the game so far and below is the plan for this update. There is no time frame on how long this will take as there will be some major changes to how the game works. Yes, there will be a patch to fix any updates in current build along with improvements to the game but no new content added as we would like to focus our time on the big Alpha 1 update.
Skill Trees
You will be able to spend your hard-earned skill points on a number of things from regenerating mana/health to a set number or damage upgrade and power-ups or other things to help you out along your journey.
Level Overhaul
This update we will be adding something 2 dimensional to levels so you can flick between e.g grass view of a level and then press a button and it will swap to snow version and show you hidden areas or ways to cross area you can access. You will need to have Mana to do this and once Mana is used it's gone unless you have the skill to regenerate your Mana over time. If you run out of mana and don't have the upgrade you will have to trade some coins to regenerate it. You can do this from the shop sign at the start of each level.
New Levels
There will be a couple of new levels added to the games these levels are from testing out ideas we had when debugging new ideas along with major edits/changes to older levels people like the feel of.
First Mini-Boss
There will finally be something to fight in Escape From Earth that will give you a challenge and a special reward after you have defeated it.
XP Systems
You can finally earn XP from that annoying ai the just went splat before.
AI Changes
The ai will be a lot more deadly now and take much more health depending on the game mode along with how much health it has in number along with the bar and it will show about how much damage you did jumping on it. You can do more damage if you have chosen to upgrade it.
Graphics
New Menu Graphics
Better planet Graphics
New Grass Tile Set
Better Tutorial
The tutorial level is going to be deleted and remade completely to make it a much better experience to play along with being able to replay the voice/see the text again if you’re stuck.
More Languages
If you played Escape From Earth you will know about our Super, Organised, Personal, Hyper, Intelligent, Assistant aka Sophia. So Sophia come about from me and a developer joking about Siri and Amazon Alexa being ai voice on devices and we should add one to the game. So a couple of months ago I ask caz a friend of the studio to record Super, Organised, Personal, Hyper, Intelligent, Assistant but you can call me Sophia and some other things for the tutorial level. This update will add more of Sophia voice to the game along with her talking you through the tutorial. At the moment we only have plans to do this for English unless we can find some people speaking the languages below to do it for free or cheap. They might have voice support in the future.
English (Voice Yes)
Portuguese (voice n/a)
Spanish (voice n/a)
French (voice n/a)
German (voice n/a)
These things might come in this update but there are not confirmed. There just some of the long list of things we have talked about maybe adding in this update but alpha 1 is going to be huge update it's self. If you see e.g 1.2.5G or something in the game these are just used for version control :).
