July Update

Greetings Steel Dragons!

We have some exciting news to share with you, but first, we would like to thank our followers for your consistent support in this journey. And If you want to join our growing community, be on top of the game’s development progress and give us your invaluable feedback, please follow us on Twitter, where we post images/videos every week, or join us on Discord where you can talk to us any time, and also get to see some sneak peeks and work in progress that we usually don’t share on any other platform.

AI

Now back to the news. In case you missed it, in the last development update we shared some of the improvements we have been doing to the UI and gameplay. Since then, we also have been working heavily on AI. We have a lot of tweakable parameters to make the AI challenging and human-like, so we ended up using machine learning to do its parameterization. Here's a sneak peek!

Watch on YouTube

We still have a lot of work ahead of us. But this already gave us a solid base to do some testing and work on top of.

Your Feedback

And as a lot of you already know, Project Haven was at Steam Game Festival where we finally were able to share our demo with you! And you have been awesome with your support and feedback. Some of the most requested features that we’ve already implemented were:

  • An updated the interrupt cone visibility
    Watch on YouTube
  • More tooltips and information in the UI.

Another top features that were requested that we are still working on are:

  • New key binding system
  • Filter for mature language

Gamescom

We are excited to announce that Project Haven was selected by Indie Arena Booth to be part of gamescom 2020. Due to the unfortunate situation our world is in, this year's event will be happening online. As such, from 27th to 30th August, we will have our own multiplayer virtual booth that can be visited by anyone for free through any browser.

For all of you that missed the Steam Games Festival demo we have great news: you will also be able to play our alpha demo (now with a few extras and tooltips!) throughout those days. Please come visit us in our booth! We hope to see you there and we can’t wait to talk to you guys!

Check the trailer to see a sneak preview of the many titles will be there!
