Hi all,
Welcome to our newest post of our ‘In the Pipeline’ series. This is our way of letting you know what we are working on, what we are thinking about and what we know we want to do:
In the Pipeline will contain all the items that are literally and figuratively in the pipeline. This will (but does not have to) include crashes to fix, bugs to splat, player suggestions to incorporate and improvements to make that we feel are necessary for the next update.
We updated the game 4 times in 5 weeks. So now we’re taking an extra week to work on new stuff. Although the game has gotten bigger and bigger. We’re quite relieved to see the amount of bugs decrease. Time to look at some bigger tasks again:
We’re still working on Mayor’s Tips. We’re looking at improving the Single Level part of the game and we’re starting to dive into the backend of Steam functionality. Now, don’t expect Achievements and Trading Cards in the next build! That will take much more time. But we need to invest some time in the back end to make it possible.
One sad note: we’re taking infinite mode off the table for now. We want to release the game in a couple of months and there is still too much stuff that we know we need and want to do. Infinite mode is not something that we see working, but does require a serious development effort. Therefore we won’t be able to explore it right now.
We are aiming to have the update live at the end of next week:
- Mayor’s Tips.
- Single Game improvements.
- Steam back end.
- Tweaks, crashes and bugs.
- Mac (and probably Linux).
- Steam Leaderboards.
- Steam Trading cards.
- Steam Achievements.
- Steam Cloud Saves.
