Hello world,
I want to apologize for taking longer than expected to finish this game, and for not providing an update since last Summer. I'm still here!
While I slowed down several times, I have not stopped developing. I've been focused on making the game more presentable these last few months, as it was not quite where I wanted it when I released the demo for the Summer Game Festival.
It has now reached the point of looking like a complete product that I want to sell. It has clean sound effects, self-composed music, cool UI transitions, and beautiful flight sequences for a welcoming atmosphere. It also has more locations, a better interface for networking with players, more stats, more options, a more detailed, geospatially-accurate model of Earth, and tons of improvements/fixes. The latest build (1.26) has over 100 internal changes. It even has a full in-game tutorial!
I also got a pair of Index controllers yesterday, so I updated the controls and added an option to adjust your wings for more comfortable flying. I appreciate that a few of you were discussing my game and what needs attention!
In the next few weeks, I will be working on a new release trailer to showcase the vision of this game as a massive multiplayer experience, as well as learning about the Curator Connect program. Besides testing the online stuff, there's not much left to do before the game is ready to take flight.
Until then, thanks for your patience! Looking forward to providing more regular updates as the game launches. if you have any questions, send me an email at [email protected]. I won't take an eternity to respond this time ;)
