We have an announcement to make, but first, We wish to thanks for all the support during the Early Access period, we have learned a lot and we are already planning big changes for the game, thank you so much. We know that the game has some failures and bugs, but, let's talk about this ahead.
New Development Stage
Abyss is about to enter on a new stage, we spent almost a whole year working on improvements, based on the feedback you gave us. Before the game was developed on Clickteam Fusion 2.5, a very good engine, but we messed up on the beggining and half of the problems just appeared now
That's why the game is officially being developed on the Unity Engine, where we'll have a better and more solid structure to work with the game, this will bring you many benefits, such as:
-Solid and Fluid Gameplay
-Improved Graphics
-Better optimizations
-4K and HDR Support
-Controls improvements
-Achievements
-More Gamemodes!
-And so on
We will be ending Early Access in November, for those who purchased the game during this period, you will keep your copy of the game even when the new version is released, there will be a price adjustment so share the game with a friend! Enjoy the low price because the game will improve a lot!
And of course, we will think on exclusive in-game rewards for those who bought the game now.
Why Now?
The reason is simple, Abyss received many recommendations and we're selected by Epic and Xbox to publish the game on their platforms, but we couldn't make the game work on Xbox, so let's take advantage of the actual dev state of the game, to fix the errors we comitted before
All of this aiming at the player experience, as many of you said "Abyss is a good game, but it is unstable, a game with great potential but it doesn't know how to release such potential"
Great news Comming soon..
The game will continue to receive minor patch updates for bugs and so on, however from now on no more features will be added. But don't worry, we'll keep you guys up to date on development and those of you who bought Early Access will get the game early for testing and feedback, as well as a special reward in the future.
New Version Concepts
What would you think if abyss become a 3D platform game? we can also launch a pixel skin for Leonnor in the future, but we plan to make the default skin in 3D, What do you think? leave a comment bellow!
