Developer Diary 16: “Best In Play”

We won a GDC Play “Best In Play” Award!

Best in Play showcases the finest games at the Game Developers Conference GDC Play expo. Phantom Compass has been awarded a 2017 Best In Play Award for “Auto Age: Standoff” by a panel of veteran GDC organizers and Gamasutra editors. Thanks to the judges for their award and congratulations to the other winners!

We will be demoing Auto Age in booth PL4627.

Beta v0.102 Now Live!

Our latest beta build features the long-awaited Base Assault mode where two teams battle over capture and control of an objective zone. The first team to fully control the zone wins. This mode is currently exclusive to our updated Eagle’s Nest map (was DM07), but we will likely add it to other maps as well.

For all the details on the latest beta, visit this forum thread.

GDC and PAX

Tony Walsh (game director), Jos Yule (technical director) and Thomas Detko (game designer) will be demoing “Auto Age: Standoff” at GDC again this year. We will have 4-player splitscreen running on an 80” projection screen, so come on over to booth PL4627 and grab a controller on March 1, 2, or 3.

PAX is soon to follow GDC, and we’ll be there with the same setup but different staff. We’ll give you the full details after the dust from GDC settles.

Roadmap Reminder

We keep a regularly-updated public roadmap of all our main features and content over on Trello.

Every time we post a new build of the game, we update the roadmap. If you’re following along, you’ll notice a steady migration of items into “Available in Beta” from “Working on Now” That’s progress!

The roadmap is a quick visual way to see what’s in, and what’s coming up. Please visit our Discord or the Steam forum if you have any questions or suggestions.
