Hello everyone!
This week a I worked on the game's artworks. Some of you have already noticed the graphics charter change on the shop page and on steam in general.
Everything has been updated to match the new version of the game.
I also have the pleasure to announce you that a demo version of Hardware Engineers is being validated by Steam. It should be available in the next days!
It took me a lot of time, and I could not worked much on the game itself. but I still have many things for you!
Demo
I think a demo version can be a good way to increase the popularity of a game and make it discovered by more people without revealing too much!
The demo limitation will be:
- limited number of components, decorations and furniture(~30% of the content available).
- Only five mods subscription at a time
- Level max at four instead of ten
- Rules customization limited to easy mode
- Overclocking, benchmark score, steam achievements and editors disabled
Improvement
Blank DVD will now appears in shop's equipment section
When mouse over a computer under the desk you can now hold CTRL to get the full tooltips.
Balancing
Build mission will have less performance requirement in general.
The Upgrade mission(purple) and Build mission(pink) amount has been slightly reduce. In return Buy mission(white) and Order mission(blue) has been increased.
Showcases effectiveness has been increased
Translation
A new quick guide about how to become a translator is now available: [HowTo] Become a translator of Hardware Engineers
And of course many bugs was fixed. If you found a bug, do not forget to report it on the Bug Report section of the Steam HUB this is very important!
As usual feel free to let me know what you think about this change in the comment section below.
