At the moment, we have decided not to implement content, mechanics, and release version 1.0.0 on the current version of the GameMaker Studio 1.4 game engine, but to make a complete transition to the new version of the GameMaker Studio 2.0 game engine.
And to solve all the problems, it's not just a transfer of the entire game, but the game code is being rewritten from scratch, which will allow us to improve the game mechanics, fix critical bugs, and enhance optimization.
This will also allow us to painlessly remove outdated iterations of game mechanics and bring the game to a finished state.
What has been done so far:
- Improved weapon modification menu;
- Improved crafting menu (including interaction with workbenches);
- New crafting creation menu;
- Improved crafting search;
- Improved interaction with items, including when there are multiple objects;
- Changed weapon and armor crafting (now parameters depend on the quality level).
About the cooperative game mode:
Right now, it is difficult for us to talk about the cooperative mode, as we have not tested the network functionality. We think that after the full transition of the game to the new engine, we can return to this issue.
About the development of the game lore:
We have received a lot of feedback, and in a future patch, players will find a new location - the City, where the game's lore will continue to unfold.
Further plans:
We will need about 6 months to implement patch v1.0.0, as currently only one developer is working on the game. We at LT-Games provide him with all sorts of external assistance.
In connection with this, we are lowering the price of the game to the lowest possible for us, and there will also be a big discount for you during the autumn sale!
Our team thanks everyone for their support and feedback! We will try to make the game better!
