Groundbreakers - let’s chat.
We know that many of you are concerned with the recent additions to the game. We want to address this and talk about our vision for v0.5 and what we’re currently working on for Techtonica. This coming Monday, June 24th at 12pm ET, we’ll be hosting a town hall meeting on Twitch for you to ask any questions you have that aren’t answered here.
For a while now, most of our team has been working on the Going Up update, while a smaller team has been handling the quality-of-life fixes and fun additions that came with Laser Games. We’ve been focused on frequent smaller updates for the first half of the year, but our next content update will take much longer than previous updates - and you’ll see why soon.
We wanted to give players a fun, small multiplayer feature for gaming with their friends this summer - not change the direction of the game. We missed the mark on messaging that. Much of the work that went into Laser Games laid the groundwork for our next big update - with some added passion projects thrown in. MIRAGE, the Fast Travel stations, and some of the background engineering work that came with it are all necessary for our next update.
We could never stop the designers from making specs, and it turns out we can’t stop them from making new maps, either - which is why we included a brand new map in v0.5. We’re currently hard at work on the desert biome, the elevator, and a lot of narrative content - more specific details will be announced soon.
As always, we’re listening to your feedback and appreciate your patience as we work to make improvements and updates to Techtonica. We’re an indie team so your support means the world to us. Please continue to share your thoughts and suggestions, and join us Monday, June 24 at 12pm ET for a special town hall meeting on Twitch.
