The Demo
Hello everyone once again, today we are going to shed a little light onto what to expect from the demo being released on October 25, 2015.
To start off the demo will only include the first chapter of the game and unfortunately save data will not be able to carry over. Things are expected to change as they always do, so what you see in the demo could be changed in some way upon release. On release the demo will be updated though to be up to date with the full version of the game. Of course user feedback (glitches, issues, problems) will also be taken into effect upon release of the demo to make the best game we can for you guys.
In the first chapter of the game you will be playing as James Baley, a former boxer down on his luck who recently moved back to his former home, Noll City. Go through the chapter that sets up the rest of the game and get a first look at Angels That Kill.
Well why not, here is a small update: -added a mouse sensitivity option
-added an inside to the bank
-working on a new ending (this would make 11 total)
-working on finishing NPC interactions
As always, thanks fam and have a good one.
The soundtrack, ESRB rating, and update news.
Alright here is a current list of things we are working on currently, finished, and are going to be working on.
To start off, we will be releasing the soundtrack as free downloadable content on Steam, it is just being finalized right now, and then hopefully everyone will be able to download it on here as well. We are also going to release it on the main game website, and on the IndieDB page.
As of today we have received our ESRB rating, you can see that in the store page, and it's basically what we thought it was going to be, rated M.
For the actual game updates though, here are the main things we have done since the last update: -added some new characters
-changed the menus a bit
-changed the shadow distance settings
-cleaned up some models
-added the ability to delete local content
-fixed several smaller bugs
-fixed all known 800x600 resolution issues
-touched up and added several sound effects
We are also going to be working on the following soon: -extending the dream sequence
-adding more inventory objects
-adding another ending
-fixing up the Mac version resolution issues
Also, like I had stated in the last update, we did completely redo the inventory system(even more so since the last update) and streamlined how it works as well as adding a journal system and a map system into it.
As always, thank you everyone for the support and helping us out during all of this.
The Steam codes for everyone who bought the game in the Groupees bundle should be handed out shortly, no set date for now though.
Current WIP And Some Other Stuff
Hello everyone, I have another smaller update for anyone caring to listen.
As of right now in the game we have gotten a couple more testers to help out with the game and we have polished it up some more and squashed some more bugs. However in pretty much every testers opinion, the lack of a map is a turn off, so I've decided to add one. While doing so I also took a look at the inventory as a whole and decided it needs a bit of a revamp, in order to accommodate for the map and another new thing I decided to add. A journal system, now how the actual journal works is not finalized yet, but it will be added as well as a map to help the player out a bit more and to really put some use to the inventory. Here is a look at how the inventory is currently set up.
Other than that, the game is wrapping up nicely and its looking like the demo for October 25th is going to make it right on time. Thank everyone once again for the amazing support and continuing through with this journey.
