Welcome everyone to Dev Blog #19!

The Video:

➡️ https://youtube.com/shorts/hG_EhHYQibk

In this short video you can see a sandbox prototype of the player putting on helmet and vest. This serves as protection in shootouts.

What does this video mean?

bleeding -> testing -> stable

This means that this feature is working in our "bleeding" version of the game. Our bleeding version means, that we are testing it at the moment. If the tests are successful and our QA greenlight it. This will be merged to the main game. By now vest and helmet are in the game.

What else is going on?

We are working on improving the gameworld. A lot of features, improvements and assets are slowly coming together and our game designers add this to the whole "picture". 🙂
Yesterday I saw sidewalks prototyping and improved materials for mountains. Don't know when our artists are satisfied with the stuff to show it here.
On Tuesday our game designer was digitally joining the English voice over recordings (which are work in progress).

Demo, Gamescom, PaxWest and Let's Plays... and now?

We got a lot of feedback from players who could play the game on gamescom and PaxWest and we also watched the Let's Plays to get a feeling for how players are currently playing the game.
And some of you perhaps already saw the differences between the gameplay from first Let's Plays (also from us or our publisher) and the current Let's Plays. The game is running smoother, there are less glitches.
We were satisfied seeing people playing the game and figuring out what was going on in the accident. But we also see some potential to improve the game 🙂

Release Date

You are always asking for it. I am sorry for misscommunication in our early communication. The release date is set for 2024 and I can't say more today. In the upcoming week, we have some meetings in which we will set the final release date and after that we will ofc communicate it with you.
We and our publisher Aerosoft try to release the game as soon as possible, but also want so ensure to have enough time to deliver the game as good as possible!

I would like to thank you for your support!
We are very happy about the interest in the game!
THANK YOU!
