Update Early Access 3

The Ballad Singer · published 8 years ago

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

In this brief update I will explain how we have divided the contents of the next two big patches and the timing.

Patch 1 - Controls and options

In the first patch that will probably be released on Friday, November 30th, we will show you:

- Editable game controls for keyboard and mouse;

- Anti-spoiler system of choices, you can decide whether to show the choices right away (as now), immediately after the end of the narrative or at your click;

- Change of most of the game panels;

- Brightness and range adjustment;

- Ability to select the size of the text of the book and the choices;

- Option to decide whether to memorize the last position of the book;

- Game credits with an exclusive musical track!

Patch 2 - Game content and options

We still need 15 days for this patch. Recording studios are analyzing all the audio files for errors. The amount of work is really great considering that 40 hours are spoken by la, therefore, indicated to take a few extra days to make sure that the work is done at its best. It would not make sense to release the patch earlier but with errors. I hope you will agree with me!

Here's what we will include in this patch:

- Update of all audio tracks and addition of new audio tracks;

- Unlock of the whole adventure, you will be able to play all the 2000 decision nodes;

- Images, videos, texts, music and icons necessary for new decision-making nodes;

- 40 achievements covering the 4 characters and "generic" situations such as the number of scenes visited and the deaths of the characters.

After these patches we will:

- Continue the tests on the game in order to find any bugs;

- Introduce the interactive tutorial;

- Work on the second game mode;

- Add a demo with Leon's prologue;

- Complete the "Trophies and missions" section.

For now it's all, we will publish detailed patch updates as they become available!
