On every New Year's eve for the last 20 years, а few minutes before the twelve chimes of the Kremlin clock beat midnight, Mr Putin (the current Russian president) has been appearing on TV for his New Year greeting speech to the fellow citizens. His customary brief summary is "We've been having a rough year". And for this this year Snowbird Games couldn't agree more. A rough year indeed, good sir.
Though after launching Feral Blue we faced that Fry and Laurie described as 'mixed reception', we are determined to deliver this product according to our vision (you may check our road map here). In 2020 we will proceed with quests, narrative stories, visual content, UI and UX improvements.
Tonight Father Frost is releasing a beta version of what we call land operations. If you don't mind of testing this work-in-progress gameplay, you may choose an Open Beta in the game setting menu at your Steam library. Than on the strategic map you will see some exclamation marks and by entering these exclamation areas you can activate a stealth mission for your captain. It's actually a pretty simple task of killing AI bots in the enemy village. AI can hear you, can see you, can track you and do all other usual AI-guards stuff. As soon as we polish this mechanic, we will proceed with more complicated missions and add some narrative-driven things to the game.
Our crew wish you all the best in 2020. Sleep well, walk more, read books, take a moment for a cup of tea and perhaps some cookies (you may also eat some extra cookies later, especially in case of nasty weather). See you in January. Truly yours, Snowbird team.
