Greetings employees of Pamperümpel Industries,
Thanks for taking a look at our game - the feedback we've received so far has helped refine the direction. We know what we're showing is very, very early although based on the success of the feedback thus far we've decided to open the project up to community earlier than originally planned. The major points we're taking on board before the Early Access Alpha is that the difficulty needs to be higher and a few UI tweaks - do let us know your feedback or ideas either in the survey or below!
We're approaching the finish line in preparing our Early Access Alpha version (July 9), which we hope will give a better feeling for what the game is about at the moment rather than the more technical/gameplay oriented demo. The improvements between the demo version and the early access version are as follows:
- First biome - Pamperümpel's City
- 10 levels
- Elements: Fire, Water, Smoke
- Pammies and Pammy variations
- Objectives within levels
- Updated level select
- Upgraded UI - planning phase
- Improved tutorials for first-time users
- Improved UI for demonstrating the level's hazard
- Pamperumpel employee rankwill improve based on performance
- 5-7 placable crisis tool items (for now!)
_________________________________________________________
We have had a bunch of ideas that had to be put aside to stick to our scope though should we secure the means to continue, here's a rough look at what would be to come from alpha to a full release:
Destruction
Obliterating walls to create paths for Pammies - not the safest option!
Wiring
Linking up items based on signals and available electricity
Utilities
Allowing the player the ability to control the water and air in an office building
New Elements
After fire/smoke and water, we're planning to introduce electricity and a mouldy mushroom element that causes the Pammies to zombify
Level Creator
By popular demand the level creator has made its way into the roadmap before our previously planned biomes. We'd love to develop something to enable a sandbox mode
Pammy Behaviour Upgrades
More smart yet more stupid. We'd love to explore the interactions between Pammies, work routines, variations of their decision making, and more item and elemental interactions.
Revised Economy
Rethinking how a player could earn items and adding extra dimensions to what happens to the Pammies after they've been saved
New Biomes
What other parts of this planet might the Pammies be inhabiting - we're interested in exploring new hazards that impact every level in a series and the corresponding items to counter them
More Levels
A wider variety of levels with more difficulty - approximately 10-15 per biome
More Lore & Prettier Things
The different biomes and level surroundings would get upgraded and lots more decorative items added to the game.
