What a month!
After releasing the new trailer video it went a little viral (170k views so far!) and a lot of new players got to know about TLG! It recently hit the 60000 wishlists and 2000 discord members milestones! I want to thank you all for all the kind messages about it, it's been really motivating!
In case you missed it, here is that trailer video again!
The video also shows many of the features I worked on at the beginning of the month, like soldiers boarding/unboarding vehicles or garrisoning into buildings, and direct control of soldiers and vehicles. Now that this video is out and the TLG family is growing way faster, all my efforts are going into the next big step in the development: the alpha test! My focus in the next few months will be mostly on AI (for both NPCs and your own troops) and performance work.
My goal is to have a nice single player alpha around the end of this year, to start testing the game in more devices than just mine, and get some early feedback to incorporate before the demo. The alpha test will start with a small group of Discord users (moderators and some of the most active users) and then expand every couple weeks to more and more discord members, as I fix and improve things and confirm everything is working well and stable.
To join that alpha test, get on the discord! https://discord.gg/thelastgeneral Once the alpha is working nicely for a lot of people, I will drop it as a demo on Steam for anyone to try!
