Well, are aiming to release hopefully at the end of November, this, is just One asteroid, still a lot of work to do, but we need people to test the game core loop. Get the "bomb" , find which of the 2 stations is active and deliver it. Thats all.
At this point its just and Alpha version, the backpacks work, the bomb work, the stations works.
Collectibles (crystals at this moment) , are just there to test, no descriptions (just lorem ipsum text ːsteamboredː), they are not saved between games yet, we plan to use them to let the players "buy" in game customization items for their characters. (No micro transactions planned, just an in game market)
This demo is intended to be a full game experience of ONE asteroid, the FULL game will have a more asteroids to choose from, but we still want the DEMO to be a sort of "free" game to play with your friends, till you want to get the full game, its not "limited" in game mechanics, just in the number of asteroids. 1 :) 4 posible spawn points 4 posible delivery stations. Thats a lot of combinations and a lot to cover, this asteroid is 10x5x3 Kms.
There are a lot of empty space yet in the asteroid, that will change in a week, before the Steam Fest.
The only big technical limitation of the DEMO its that the game needs to quit in order to start a new hosting because, at least at this time, would be a lot of extra work to tweak the logic of the other asteroids on the full game for the demo to work. Sorry about that.
The game WILL be playable solo, it is now, but its not balanced to it. When you play you will understand.
Will post more in the following weeks.
Please leave us your performance test, we are a 2 people team and we don't have enough machines to test hardware.
