Greetings, Patriots! Dan here, letting you know that Early Access 3 is ON THE WAY! Our focus over the last two weeks has been to clear up those major bugs that are holding players up, specifically:
- Ending up between the Red and Blue lines after turning or a takedown
- Not respawning properly
Of course, game dev is tricky and these are some tricky bugs, but we WILL get them cleared! We are also looking into ways to increase texture resolution on some UI elements to help improve legibility.
Going forward into the summer, we are looking to put out our first content update which will include the second level of the game, Long Wharf. We are also shifting our development schedule somewhat, and making Sarah (voiced by Ashly Burch) our priority for the next playable character, as her abilities have a lot of technical overhead which will also improve the gameplay and add abilities (items) for Joseph, Ally, and Doug.
We are also happy to announce that, once again, you will be able to play the game at the upcoming Boston Festival of Indie Games! The festival is on September 13 at MIT in Cambridge, MA. We will have the game in tow, hopefully with some new surprises. Tickets ($10 for individuals or $7.50 apiece for bulk orders) are now available for the fest and can be purchased at the website or at this Eventbrite link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2014-boston-festival-of-indie-games-tickets-11616911495
We are hoping to get EX3 out in the next week or two, at which point we will return to our regularly scheduled weekly updates. Until then, thank you for your patience and your continued support!
Thanks again everyone!
- Dan
