Our playtests were an amazing experience for us, we want to thank everyone who took part and who gave us feedback about Filthy Animals.
We’ve been reading everything you’ve sent and are hard at work incorporating your feedback into the game. We can’t share everything we’re working on just yet but we thought it would be cool to take a peek at some of the stuff we’re working on based on your playtests feedback.
Expanded Tutorial
One of the key notes we received during the playtests revolved around how players control their mutant animals. We already have a tutorial level - The Sewers - but we’ve decided to expand and make sure everything’s just that little bit clearer so you can get into the game with confidence.
So when you run through the level you’ll be able to see holograms of mutant animals performing the actions you need to do. From picking up items and gathering loot to throwing objects and raising your mutant arms, our helpful holograms will show you exactly how to do everything.
You’ll be able to replay these holograms as many times as you want and you can always restart the Sewer level from the level select screen - so if you ever forget how to play or need a reminder of a mechanic, you can fire it up and reacquaint yourself!
We hope that this will help make getting started with Filthy Animals smoother and get essential gameplay info to you quicker and easier, giving you more time for crime, eating tacos, and CHAOS.
Performance Enhancements and Tweaks
We know not everyone has the most powerful computer on the planet and we want to make sure as many people as possible get the chance to play Filthy Animals.
One of the things we’ve been working on over the last few weeks is optimization. There are many small changes we’ve been able to make that help boost performance on all systems - especially lower-spec PCs - without compromising how the game looks and feels.
There’s more work to be done regarding performance, our job isn’t finished yet, but Filthy Animals has already received a considerable performance boost - with more to come!
The Road to Release
We haven’t announced a release date just yet but everything we’re doing is focused around getting Filthy Animals ready for launch. We’re smashing bugs, fixing little errors, and putting that final level of polish into the game.
We’re incredibly excited about what we’ll be sharing with you soon, so don't forget to wishlist Filthy Animals to make sure you're up to date with all the latest news as we head towards release!
