This was supposed to be our last update, but alas, we're not there yet, extremely close, but not there.
We're hoping the next one will be 1.0 and ready for shipment, there's not much left to do, but we're still testing and don't want to rush it and make any unnecessary mistakes.
The last few weeks were mostly about testing and polishing, we've done a lot of in-house testing along with a 5 days tour in local gaming festivals, plus some dedicated QA testers that went over the whole game.
There were a few bugs that surfaced and were fixed, but most of the notes were small things, not necessarily bugs, just little things that will make the overall experience better and smoother.
We have more testers going over the game and hopefully no bugs will surface up this time.
Other tasks done in this update:
[*]Finished concept art screen and slides.
[*]Hexa's nightmare song remix.
[*]New music for maze level.
[*]New music for TZ game world levels.
[*]Finished last battle logic, attacks and sequences, still requires a couple of asset polish.
[*]Post battle cut-scene 80% done.
[*]Added new experimental in-game camera, microphone and extra UI for streaming purposes.
[*]Updated NW.js and Greenworks dependencies to latest versions.
We should receive all missing translations files next week, all French, German and Spanish texts were added and we also added Traditional and Simplified Chinese and Russian translations.
The new translations will also include Steam store localization.
So what else is left to do?
There's not much work left to on the game, aside from testing, we need to check all the new translation that there are not text overflows, polish the last battle and cut-scene a bit more, record some additional voiceovers and add Steam trading cards.
We will now be focusing on promoting the game before the release, there a few things we need to finish up before we can start promoting.
[*]Finish all promotional assets and new logo and update the store page.
[*]Finish new landing page -
