Hi everyone,
Hope to find you all in good spirits! Steam Next Fest is in progress and we all have some fine games to observe and try out. We are very happy about the positive reactions to our own Patron demo! Thank you for downloading it and giving it a go, every bit of feedback is very useful for the continuous effort to make this game into something really special!
Today, as we begin our second livestream on Steam, we’d like to inform you that intense work on Patron has resumed. A few things that you’ve mentioned have already been planned as additions, or have been moved ahead of schedule to make your demo experience even better.
First of all – AI pathfinding . A new system has already been in the works before the demo release, but we’ve intensified the efforts in the recent days. We've started betatesting this extensive feature today, and with any luck, we’ll be updating the demo version of the game for all of you over the weekend. You can expect people to start navigating around the objects and stop that magical “walk on water” maneuvers.
Second – Mouse control improvements. A number of you mentioned weird feeling and lagginess of the mouse input. Corrections to this are also entering betatest today, and if all checks out, will also be part of the demo update over the weekend.
In any case, we are resuming regular development plans for Patron, but as a result of your valuable feedback and positive input, we’ve also decided to work on upgrading the demo as well. All of you playing the demo must have the best experience possible. And we’ll make sure you get it.
Once again thanks for the awesome feedback, enjoy the game and don’t forget to join us on the livestream! You are all invited!
