Recent updates and patches
Hi Everyone!
There has been number of updates and patches and some of you may be wondering what they are all about.
They include anyting from minor bug fixes to the improvements to the game.
But most of the "bugs" are created from the changes in the game in preparation for the other platform releases. This include things like loading the assets for the game, saving and loading the data, and optimizations.
And some of you may wonder, why make changes to the Steam version? "Leave the Steam version as it is and not create more bugs!"
This is true. However, I am also bringing in all the positive changes implemented to the game while I am working on the porting to the other platforms. Good example is the recent lighting system changes which boosts huge performance. Also smoother loading system, faster random map generation etc..
I am still dedicated to fix any bugs in the game and I hope you can understand the process and some of the new bugs creeping in.
Thanks for your understanding and I hope you all enjoying Subterrain.
Sound track DLC has been released!
http://store.steampowered.com/app/470670/
OST bundle is also coming soon! Just need Valve to activate it.
Again. Thanks a lot for your support guys!
As for the update news, I am hoping to turn the beta version to the public version really soon! Thanks to those been helping to fix the bugs.
I will make another announcement once the bundle is up.
Cheers.
Upcoming Soundtrack DLC and Deluxe version.
Hi Everyone!
People has suggested to create Sound track DLC and I thought it was a great idea! so it is coming soon on 26th May!
I know it isn't a content update, but if you would like to support the development , be the update for the Subterrain or the next game from Pixellore, please feel free to buy it.
I am also working on a deluxe version of the game with the DLC as the same purchase with a bit of discount when bought together. I am working on it to be released at the same time as the OST DLC.
Lighting system update
As for the update of the game, I am currently working hard on the all new lighting system that I wanted to do for very long time which will boost rendering performance a lot. I have almost finished it and I will release it as usual beta branch first.
Optimization and code refactoring
There is a lots of work under way for the preparation to port the game to different platforms. The platforms that I am going to port the game to are :
Xbox One, PS4 and possibly Linux and Mac release.
Bug fixes and localization
Usual bug fixes while refactorying the code base and I am looking to polish up the localization as well.
I have not been updating the game as often as I used to , and that is because the new lighting system rework takes long time to do. But I think it was worth it!
As always, thanks for the support and I hope to post another news soon!
Major content update release!
Major content update code name "Purification" is now released!
Without too much spoiler, the update is all about:
Extended game play that let you experience personal story line of Dr.West.
Epic boss battles with heart pounding new music scores!
Better overall game play experience by the tightening up the previous first part of the game.
Random floor generation. Now the important items are found in randomly shuffled floors.
Voice over for the all cut scenes!
More achievements and leaderboard types.
More endings!
Many other minor bug fixes over the previous version.
Check out the new trailer here or at the Subterrain store :
As we have promised, it is a free update to those of you who has bought the game already. No DLC stuff!
We really hope you enjoy the extended version of the game!
I would like to thank those of you who has contributed directly and indirectly to the update. It would not have been possible without your efforts! You guys rule!
Previous save game is more or less compatible with the updated game if the version the game has started isn't too old. I think any save game that has started since version 107x should be ok.
However, it is always best and safe to play the new game from the beginning.
Thank you! and if you have any questions just let us know in the forum as always.
Purification official update date
Hi Everyone.
I would like to move the beta version of the purification update to default game on 4th of May.
There still be some bugs and polishing to do and localization is not yet completed, but I want to move on so that more players can play it.
This means that the price of the game will be up by $2 on 4th of May.
I hope this update can really bring some better experience for everyone.
I would also like to thank to those of you who visited us on PAX EAST game show.
I am currently making a new trailer that goes with the purification update and that will be uploaded as well.
After the purification update, I want to just focus on the bug fixing and platform support such as Linux or Mac port and the other console ports.
There will not be anymore update as far as the contents goes. As much as I love to continue developing Subterrain, I have to find the way to make living and that means I have to try and port the game to the other platforms as soon as I can.
I have very exciting other projects in mind and I will be more than willing to share them with the community of Subterrain.
Thank you and if you have any problems with purification update, just give me a shout.
Purification public beta
Hi Everyone.
Public beta for major content update code name "Purification" is alive!
Enroll to the default beta to play the updated game!
I hope you liked that sneak preview !
For those of you who would like to wait a bit longer for even more polished experience, it will probably go alive to default game before the end of April, depends on how quickly we can update the localization files.
Thanks to everyone who has helped to get this far !
Also, I will be flying to Boston to attend PAX EAST game show from tomorrow, so I hope to be able to show case Subterrain to many players around the world!
Unfortunately this means I may be a bit slow on updates but I will try as much as I can during the trip.
Random floor generation
Hi Everyone!
Beta version 1071 is up! And with this version, I have implemented random floor generation for any new game started.
This means, the levels are shuffled up , so that every game has the different floor setting.
Also I am planning to move closed purification beta testing to open beta in about 1 week time. And there may be a price updated around that time.
So for those of you who are looking for a steal purchase, then head over to the :
