Hello!
Good news! After weeks and weeks of wrecking our brains (and code), at last we have many improvements! That means new performance Beta is now available!
Here’s what you will find:
- Major code changes. This means enemy movement may have varied a little. You may also find a slightly different feeling on collisions and projectiles too.
- This beta will only have Midgard available.
- As we only have Midgard, Raid Shrines and Challenge mode will be disabled.
- Endless Mode enabled once again. Let us know how it feels!
- General performance improvements. Now you can expect your Endless and Ragnarok runs with a higher fps rate.
- You’ll have the same progress as your current version.
- On this particular beta, your progress won’t be saved to prevent possible errors. This also means there will be no issue going back and forth between your current version and the beta.
- Please notice that we have changed quite a bit of code, and are still tweaking some things, so you may find some bugs or issues during your run (let’s hope very few). Please report any weird things you may spot!
We can’t wait to hear your feedback! This is a very important beta for Nordic Ashes game. If everything runs correctly, we will proceed to update the live version of the game next week (or the next one, depending on feedback and fixes!).
Indie Dev Day
We are so happy to attend Indie Dev Day in Barcelona this weekend. It’s a really important event hosted by Devolver and it will be our second event showcasing Nordic Ashes with our own stand!
If any of you are around Barcelona, come and say hi 😄
Wish you a great rest of the week!
Cheers!
