Hey everyone,
We're excited to announce that we've just launched a new demo to coincide with Steam Next Fest running 5th - 12th February!
Having gone through your feedback we’ve incorporated several new features to make the experience more intuitive. Most significantly, the core metaprogression has been overhauled whereby you can now unlock additional weapons and constellations simply by spending resources gathered during a run.
A full list of changes can be found below:
Changes:
- Removed rewards from achievements and altered the display of the text and progression bar to allow more achievements to be added.
- Added an unlock window to the upgrade constellations which displays the required currency and has a little description of the constellation nodes.
- Added an unlock window to the weapon select which displays the required currency and will have a little description of the weapon.
- Changed the tooltip description for teeth, eyes, and hearts.
- Changed the mouse hover of unlock abilities so that you can hover over the entire “card” and not just the name of the ability to select it.
- Player movement is now standardized for each direction rather than being faster on a diagonal.
- Enabled the option to consume items directly on the scavenge screen when player inventory is full.
- Added tooltip text to temperature gauge to show how this functions.
- Added a warning to alert the player that a blizzard is incoming.
- Hardcore level was removed (for now!).
While our Next Fest demo is live, we will be collecting more player feedback in a Steam forum thread. If you have any suggestions or feedback for us, please feel free to add it!
We have also prepared an updated quickstart guide to introduce you to the key mechanics before you get started.
Enjoy this month's Next Fest and we hope you enjoy playing our latest When the Light Dies demo - don't forget to leave your feedback!
Until next time!
