Hello everyone!
There hasn't been any news for a long time, so it's time to tell you what we've been working on.
Results of the Ecliptica PreDemo v1.4 Playtests
A huge thank you to everyone who participated in the playtest, especially those who wrote feedback or reported bugs. Thanks to you, we have already fixed most of the annoying and critical bugs. This includes the low performance on devices with integrated graphics, namely the Steam Deck, so the new update will definitely run much better.
What technical improvements have we implemented so far:
We now have soft lighting support, which makes the game feel richer.
Game performance has been significantly improved.
Texture filtering has been added.
Volumetric, living clouds have been added.
Aerial perspective visualization has been improved.
In-game animations have been improved.
Quest mechanics have been added.
What's next and when to expect the update?
We are currently working diligently on the gameplay part of the game, which was so lacking in PreDemo 1.4. We are reviewing the balance and working on a new story start.
We will not yet reveal details of the story start and specific gameplay moments.
The release of Ecliptica PreDemo v1.5 is planned for the near future. Simultaneously, we will begin the transition to the second stage of the Ecliptica game's evolution—the Demo version, which will feature complete gameplay.
