Welcome to the first update for Walkies! It’s been two weeks since we announced the game and we’ve had a crazy fortnight!
The Yorkshire Games Festival was held at the National Science & Media Museum in Bradford, UK, where we took a demo build of Walkies. We had hundreds of players try out the demo across the two days of the Family Let’s Play zone, with incredible feedback and a hefty list of things to fix or improve.
After much frantic bug fixing and tweaking as much as we could in under a week, we took the next build to the Guildford Games Festival also in the UK… where the game went down a treat! Once again we had so much fantastic feedback and another hefty list of fixes and improvements.
The game is progressing nicely, with the last two weeks getting the build running on the machines for the shows. These PCs are lower spec' than we develop on, so some time was spent profiling the game, improving the performance, tweaking config options and generally making it run smoother.
We’d like to give a huge Thank You to all the people who stopped by at our booths and played the demo!
