Here's what happen next...
Hello dear friends!
Today is the day when Chemists go early access and it's time to tell a little about ourselves and about future plans. At the moment, we are a team of several indie developers who have decided to make a game that we would like to play ourselves. We are deeply familiar with the genre and started development in order to improve existing games and bring something new from ourselves.
In the future, we will add more content, controller support, steam functionality, co-op, achievements, etc.
Please write us your feature requests and bug reports here below or in the discussions. We know some bugs, some we will find with your help. We all read and it makes easier for us to prioritize tasks. Thank you!
Let our long journey begins...
Game news
Hello friends, today we will talk about the game and answer a couple of questions that you would ask if you showed even the slightest interest in the game.
- Why so long? - Delays in both news and content are due to the fact that we completely began to remake the game under a different base of the game, since the base of the demo was at its peak and any interference in the code and content threatened us with big bugs and problems. And a collective decision was made to start everything from scratch and completely rewrite the base of the game, so that it would be convenient to fill and have nothing to lose with the slightest changes. And the base was designed for joint development.
Where and how are we going? - The movement goes into joint development. We rely on SVN collaboration technologies, which allows a team to work simultaneously on different parts of the game without interfering with each other. This allows you to quickly and efficiently do your job. The movement is moving slowly but surely and in the right way.
- What's new in the game? - If we consider what was in the demo and take a new one, then in the game we will have a system for leveling a character by skills and abilities, everyone calls it differently, but the bottom line is that there are basic parameters that can be pumped, and there are specific ones when pumping which you will definitely you will know where it will go and what will improve. - Another thing to add is the division of the game world into 14 locations, they are large and use almost all optimization systems, which makes it possible to run on weaker computers. Also, this division was associated with the unification of zones of diverse content, which means that in one location there will always be some kind of empty place, both forests of the road field, and densely populated areas of interest.
- When can we expect the game? - The game will be released in early access and will be gradually filled, of course, this has its pros and cons, but we think you know about it yourself.
- Will the game be paid? - Yes, since any of you can support the development by purchasing the game.
Demo available now!
