Thank you for participating in the playtest!
We are striving to improve our game and share new updates with you as quickly as possible. Now, you can download our playtest version of DRAKE directly from the Beta branch of the Demo in your library. To access beta-brunch add the Demo version to your library.
Then click on "Properties" in the library page of the game
Select "Beta versions," and in the "Beta Testing" dropdown menu, choose the "playtest - New Updates Testing" branch. After that, the game will download the necessary patch.
You'll know you're on the right branch if you see the [playtest] label next to the demo name.
Don't forget to leave feedback after testing!
In patch 0.1.4, we've improved the interaction with the graphical API, eliminating visual glitches during loading, minimizing, and maximizing the game, fixing crashes during resolution changes and quality settings adjustments. This should enhance the overall smoothness of the game.
We've also refined gamepad control in the game menu and corrected the display of interface elements at non-standard resolutions, such as on the Steam Deck.
Patch 0.1.4 is available to everyone who has added Drake Playtest to their library.
Thank you for your numerous detailed reviews.
They have helped us identify issues that we couldn't detect on our own.
We are currently working on improving artificial intelligence and fixing issues related to the movement of the bugs and character, such as falling through floors, doors, and walls, as well as AI navigation problems. This is a technically challenging task. Last year, we began transitioning AI components to an asynchronous architecture and aim to complete this transition. This will allow us to fix many errors, speed up scene loading, and avoid crashes. It will help us to create a stable foundation for developing an exciting combat system.
Next, we plan to enhance the inventory, add new types of weapons, and improve interactions with collectible items. We have already made significant progress in this direction and look forward to showing you these updates.
After completing the core code, we will focus on the most exciting aspects: progression, character creation screen, companions, and other features.
