Hello ABD Community!
Robert here, got a very special announcement! Not only are we back on track, but things are looking better than ever!
We had anticipated major problems with our programmer, so we brought in a super-jedi-guru after making backups of the code for weeks, and he's officially onboard to tackle ABD and get us back online. Actually, we've been anticipating this for quite some time, but have been quietly addressing it until we could make neccessary changes internally. Launch week was really sad for us, we were SO excited to get people in ABD after such a long time in development. Turning that frown over, here is the epic breakthrough's we've been making.
-The server architecture is AAA quality.
-The new development and asset pipeline is perfect.
-The game will have an Alpha/Beta build you can participate in.
-The scale of ABD will now ramp up to promised levels.
-The UI has been upgraded.
-The game components have all been activated.
-The humans have been revamped.
-The map is finished.
-The environment system is working.
-Bugs will be handled without players having to lift a finger!
On the flip side, its going to take the better portion of this week to get this all set up. Our last programmer created quite a mess in there, things were tied together and being pulled from his personal website, not to mention he spent most of his time writing code to be bounced from his server to ours thinking we never had posession of it. Was he trying to get paid while he made his own game? Was he trying to steal ABD? These are questions I can't answer, and if any of you reached out to him prior to this announcement, please do not contact him under any circumstance. Really scary stuff, you just never know with people. But again, we still have everything, and we are going to be showing some incredible progress very soon.
In light of the issues being pushed back (Remember: worst case scenario, probably wont be that long) to the 4th of September, I am extending the offer to everyone who purchased the game from Launch until the 4th a Legacy upgrade. So if you've bought the game from August 14th - September 4th, even if we finish early and get things running before then, you'll get a Legacy edition of ABD. To find more information on what a Legacy edition is, head a few announcements back where I detail it.
Thank you everyone, and I'm very excited to show you what the real ABD looks like. When I have info, I'll post another announcement. In the mean time, join the ABD Group Chat if you have questions, comments, or concerns.
