Hi everyone!
The day we’ve all been working hard towards the last few months is finally here, we’re ready to release the new version of PGM as a DLC to the original game, we’re so excited to hear what you all think about this.
Since our last (and failed) launch, we got back to the drawing board and started to work on solving the two biggest issues; match experience and the randomness/lack of progress.
So how do we create a better experience during the matches? In the last version we had made some major graphical improvements comparing to the original PGM, but it felt way too stale. To make it more alive we’ve added AI to the simulation so you can actually see your teammates and opponents run around during the game, trying to complete the objective or eliminate each other. This was, and is, a crucial step in order to elevate PGM into something more realistic and fun to play.
The other fundamental part we had to address was the randomness and lack of progress that plagued the original version of the game, as well as the failed update we released in the fall. There was little you could do to become better and it was just basically playing matches and hoping for the best. We’ve now worked really hard on trying to create an experience and a leveling up system for both you and for the NPCs in the game. When you level up you’ll get more skill points which will reflect your character’s performance during matches and which teams will try to sign you.
Among the other things we’ve added are:
- A clock that shows the real time in game, but you can also choose to speed things up.
- Dynamic league tables/world ranking, which means that NPC-teams will play matches continuously.
- Character creation.
- Better resolution and sound support.
We’d like to thank each and every one of you for 2016 and all the support we’ve continued to get throughout this process from you, our wonderful fans. Please continue to send us any and all feedback you have on the current PGM as well as your suggestions for the future here or to [email protected].
See you all in 2017!
