DK2D Early Access Launch postponed!
This is no April Fools joke unfortunately.
A lot has happened for me personally in the past few weeks including a new day job.
DriftKing 2D is almost ready for it's Early Access launch but it's just not quite there yet.
Transparency is important so here's a quick summary of things that didn't finish in time and are currently my top priority in the coming days:
- Collecting new colors and vehicles. (Almost ready)
- The Store menu's (Almost ready)
- Achievements & Leaderboards (Almost Ready)
- Missions menu (Almost Ready)
- Offline savefile system + Cloud save (Broken)
- Additional tweaks and optimizations of the new additions.
There's also a new gameplay trailer coming as soon as possible, Work on the website and presskits, Marketing and porting the game over to Google Play while waiting for the game build to go live on Steam.
I hope everyone will understand my decision to postpone until a more complete and playable version has been realized.
The Beta is Playable today!
Achievements should be fine from now on as well!
That went a lot smoother than expected, So the future looks bright!
There's still a lot to manage on the Steam store side, But at least the workflow has been straightened out.
Everything between development and pushing to Steam should be fairly straight-forward from now on.
I'm really glad to get past these steps.
Next steps are to actually make the game itself completely playable.
Starting with:
- Fixing all dynamic User interfaces.
- Filling the menu's with content: Missions are coming!
- Creating a real cloud-saved save file.
- Adding the First achievement.
(All other achievements should stay unlocked during the beta round)
- Adding the 3th and 4th Vehicle. (Suggest anything!)
Also:
- A Website: https://DK.LolindirLink.com (Coming Soon)
- Marketing / Social Media (Soon)
- Actually realizing the April 1st launch day.
Thank you all.
