Ariel

Weekly Update #1



Hi all,

Thank you for being kind to our particular release on Early Access. There were still a few very important things unaccomplished and we implemented them over the week.

We wanted to keep you posted on the improvements and suggestions during this week. Below is a list of the implementations:

- There was a particular case in which the 3rd Person mode could be activated. We fixed this small issue, allowing only the 1st Person mode for now.

- Main stats stop decreasing while reading a computer log.

- Events can be prevented now by changing only one Tesla tower's frequency. (In tough events, two frequencies are required.)

- Your starting Hydration stat is higher.

- Interlude texts are easier to read.

- A more solid configuration of Weather Events.

- A little tweak on the resources balance.

- Bug fixes: Food Processors, C3 & C4 batteries, Pressurized stations.

We detected a major bug while repairing a computer. We fixed all of the possible cases, but we're still hunting problems with it.

Though the game is very difficult, it is possible for it to be completed. We will keep reading all your comments and feedback in order to reach a more balanced overall gameplay.

Thank you. Have a great weekend.

Quick Fix

Hey everyone,

A quick fix today. We read all your comments and they were quite useful, to say the least. We balanced the resources, as well as a couple of improvements.

We'll keep you posted on our road for the following weeks. Our plan is to focus in the optimization area and some other useful topics. We hope you have enjoyed Ariel so far; It will only get better from now on.

Early Access Launch!

Hi everyone,

The day is here! Today we release Ariel on Early Access. We wanted to share with you some fact regarding our scope and pipeline for the near future :)

First of all, we wish to state that many improvements and implementations are already in place, but not present in the current version. We will release a series of updates which will stabilize the current version.

Some of the following are examples of what we have thought for the near future: We will first work hard on these topics:

Higher level of optimization
Improve stability of the software
Loading times

Additional implementations are to be expected within early updates, such as the Third Person Mode, additional weapons, improved mechanics and such.

We are aware of Ariel’s wildlife participation during the game; we plan to spend a great amount of time polishing this feature, since we feel that it is important to the general context of the game.

Though Ariel is still in an early version of itself, we have released the story up to the point where the many endings to the story converge; Ariel is now finishable up to that point. The scene where the story unravels according to your performance will be a later update, complementing the narrative and allowing you to unlock the many endings to the story.


The Original Soundtrack: The OST is available in .Wav and MP3 files. You can download both once you have acquired it.

Finally, if everything goes according to plan, we will remodel and improve some of the assets. We are aware of the potential of the game, and we will pursue its final version as a polished and well tempered gameplay.

That is all for now; Let us know what you think, we hope you enjoy the game!

TOMORROW!



Just as a reminder, Ariel is going to come out in less than 24 hrs!
The Original Soundtrack will be available as well.

Let us know if you have any doubts or comments.

We hope you enjoy the game!
