NextFest Retchid Demo
Thanks to all who participated in playing the Retchid Demo during NextFest.
The amount of people who checked out the demo was significantly above our expectations and it blew us away, as did the amount of praise and positive reactions.
A big thanks to all the people who helped spread the word, and make Youtube videos, we loved watching your reactions to the game.
Community Feedback
All the feedback was fantastic and it really helped us focus on what needs attention in the game.
We've already implemented most of the feedback, some items have to wait until we acquire a new programmer on the team.
Retchid Early Access and Development
Retchid will be going in to Early Access with Episode 1 - When it's done.
As we approach the release of Episode 1 in Early Access we'll provide a lot more information as to what you can expect, since it will be Early Access it's important players understand what they are getting in to.
Right now we're working on or have finished implementing things that didn't make it in to the demo:
- Health Stations - a reusable GUI which the player can use to restore some health
- Item Cabinets - A cabinet that can contain ammo, health, or armor that needs to be unlocked
- Improved damage feedback - Enemies now take visible damage when they are hurt
- Improving sounds for weapons and AI
- Improving visual effects for enemies
- Improving all animations
- Finishing the levels. Right now we're half way through E1M4, only 3 more levels left to finish for Early Access
Looking forward to sharing more in the future.
