Demo update: 12 languages, in-game feedback and more

Abductables · published

The Abductables demo is now on version 1.0.28. Here's everything that changed since Steam Next Fest.

1.0.28: 12 languages and in-game feedback

  • 12 languages. The whole interface is now available in English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, Русский, Deutsch, Français, Español, Português (Brasil), Polski and Türkçe. The demo starts in your Steam language, and you can switch at any time in GAME OPTIONS.
  • Send feedback from inside the game. Press FEEDBACK in the main menu or pause menu, or F8 at any time. Write what happened, attach a screenshot, and it goes straight to me. You don't need a Discord account.
  • Built-in benchmark. Add -benchmark to the demo's launch options to see how it runs on your PC, then press SHARE TO DISCORD to help me set the system requirements.
  • Main menu and pause menu layout fixes.

1.0.27: new directives and a fairer wanted level

  • Three new Grigori directives: Sariel's Tide, The Manifest and The Quiet Harvest.
  • HUSH MONEY rewards: batches of hybrids can now make the Board forget a wanted star.
  • Directive bounties scale with shift length, and directive effects end exactly when their act ends.
  • Directive memos never cover the HUD, and the objective banner is smaller.
  • Witnesses now need a clear line of sight to report you, and the wanted level fades faster.
  • An EMP now brings dropships crashing down, with an explosion sound.
  • Dropships hit a little softer, and the Deflector Shield is stronger.
  • The Power Recycler keeps regenerating power while you use the tree beam.
  • The Decoy Saucer now looks like your saucer.

1.0.26: animals and a new look

  • Farm and woodland animals to abduct: the human beam turns them into cash and combo, the tree beam into power.
  • Captured animals and police cars now hang in the beam at human height, with the same capture effects.
  • A vintage sci-fi horror comic look across the Main Menu, every menu and the HUD.
  • Crowds raise your wanted level more gently.
