Hello IndieDB Community,
Last Friday (7/3/2015) ABD was Greenlighted by the Steam Community! Well... By Valve, but we made it! Check it out on our Steam page. We are scheduled for an Open Alpha August 1st, so be sure to get in touch with us on our contact form on our Website and use the contact form at the bottom with the subject line, "Alpha Test Application".
In this Dev Blog, we will cover the following articles of information:
- UI
- Language Support
- New Art
- Current Problems
- Steam Achievements
- Steam Trading Cards
------
User Interface
------
We are wrapping up with our initial UI build - which is subject to changes - but this is pretty much how it's going to look.
------
Language Support
------
We've got the UI transferred and prepped for further languages, so that's going to be easy to add more. We've got English (of course) and Russian finished and cut out, so at a minimum those two will be ready for our Alpha to some capacity.
Next on the list, is; German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, Japanese.
Here is a preview of what it will look like in Russian:
------
New Art
------
So we've got Tier Three(3) nearly complete, which we will feature in next weeks Dev Blog.
We CAN, however, show you how we're dabbling in clothing and camouflage. This is concept art, but it will be a rather quick transition to game assets, so don't worry! It won't just be my beautiful, skillful, hand crafted masterpiece for long!
------
Current Problems
------
A few snags have come our way, popped out their heads, and said hello. We're going to shrug them away and find fixes, but its awkward. We had originally planned to release an Environmental Trailer on the 9th, being the 10th and we don't have a blog about it, obviously that didn't happen. We didn't anticipate having such an enormous hit on performance, and getting Unity to crash so fast! The issue with it has been solved, though, so that's good news, it just means we have to wait another week or two - which is fine, our existing map works great for testing game functions. The most important part is gameplay and fun factor, without that it's just a beautiful wildlife simulation.
------
Thank You Steam Community, Valve, & IndieDB!
------
I will post our anticipated Steam Achievements below here so that you can view them without being interrupted by an enormous wall of text. We are planning on quite a few achievements in the form of multiple prerequisites. Thank you all for your support and dedication to ABD! More to follow next week, and happy weekend!
