Pre-Launch Major Update

We are happy to share that our next fest was a major success

We doubled the Alter Evo Wishlist count and received excellent feedback from the community. Nearly 25% of users who played the demo Wishlisted the game.

We’re grateful to those of you who checked out our game. It inspired us to see strong engagement as we prepare for launch.

Below is a list of the updates that we have added to Alter Evo as a result of the feedback we received on our Steam community page from Next Fest players:

Fixes:

• aim mode persists when you are hit instead of kicking you out

• hench men and henchmen elite play stagger animations every time you shoot them

• henchmen elite less health but faster

• corpse spawns less health

• ranged henchmen less health

• less enemies per combat section across whole game

• reduced number of kill-mo-biles when driving

• improved lighting and screen space contrast in response to feedback about a “washed out look”

• added second upgrade machine to apartment area so that you don't miss it in the beginning (feedback about not introducing it fast enough)

• increased vertical look movement during walk/run mode

• fixed aim button to not force player to look straight ahead and keep look direction from walk mode

• keypad type interactions reset values on exit and have a brief input blocker if sequence incorrectly submitted

• improved pistol shot sounds with low end rumble and better consistency

• lowered reload sound

• reduce SMG recoil

• improve car camera handling inside garages

• improved camera collider handing for third person

• look sensitivity now has vertical and horizontal adjustment instead of one value

• improved default look sensitivity values

• fixed some audio levels across the game and added in some missing audio

With around 5 weeks til launch, what are we doing now?
