CONTENT UPDATE #1 COMING SOON!
After several months since our launch, we are finally releasing our first major content update. This will be significant as it effectively more than doubles the content of the game from when it was released. We have a tentative release date on August 4, 2020, roughly 1.5 months away.
For months we've been releasing small improvements to the game but now this update will change a lot with your gaming experience. Below are just some of the things you can expect from the content update when it releases:
More Missions - we wIll be adding a minimum of at least 10 more missions to the game. Take note that this is the minimum and we are hoping to release more than this. Also, after this release, we will slowly stream new missions every few weeks.
Additional Preludes - we will be adding a prelude story and just like with missions, we will slowly stream more prelude story every few weeks.
Discover More Lore - through the missions and preludes, we will start revealing more about the world of Graywalkers, its Lore, and the different stories of its inhabitants.
Deeper RPG & Conversations - we plan to improve the RPG experience, especially the tabletop RPG experience. We now have a new writer to help us work out the dialogues and story of the game giving them more depth and substance.
7-8 New Graywalkers Released - Release of almost 10 new Graywalkers that will now be playable and available in the game. By the time the update releases, you will have a total of at least 15 Graywalkers to work with. Of course, more will be added as well in the months to come as the planned number of Graywalkers is at the very least 36 (Though are target is 40+ so you have replacements just in case your Graywalkers die)
Drone Characters - a new addition to the team are Drones as characters. These upgradable drone platforms will be available to fill out your character slots for the various missions. As you progress, you will find better drones and options for those drones. Like any character, you can customize it with specific gear upgrades such as armor, weapons, and accessories.
New Enemies - You will face many new dangers in the form of new creatures and enemies that will be available in the game. This includes other types of demons, corrupted creatures, the Faekind, and
New Locations - the preludes and the new missions will introduce new and interesting locales such as Hellzones, enchanted ruined cities, stormlands, fortified settlements, abandoned railways and more.
More Weapons & Armor - As you get deeper into the game, you will slowly discover the hundreds of weapons in the game and its variants. Not only that, but we've added also new weapons to the list including relics of the past that have power.
More Consumable Items & Accessories - we've added more items that you can use in the game that will affect your characters such as potions, drinks, food, medical items, and more. In addition, you can customize your character with new accessories that will improve your character's abilities.
Streamlined List of New and Improved Abilities - We've improved the ability list and streamlined it. We've taken out some of the unbalanced ones and included new ones that will give a better dimension to your characters.
Aside from content, we are also releasing new and improved features with the update. These include some of the following below:
New & Improved Audio and Music - This was one of our weakest points before but we've made an effort to improve it. We've got new tools to help us create better audio for the game. Also, since we've also fixed the volume issue in our past patches, you can control if you want the music we put in blaring or just blending int the background.
Improved Quality of 3D Models - We've heard comments before of bad models in the game so we've taken it into consideration and started removing all the very low poly models and use only the mid to high-quality poly models. We've also improved the PBR texturing of the models. It's not all done yet but you will start to see significant improvements in their quality compared to before.
Improved Combat AI - we've improved the AI of the non-player characters, especially the enemies. They are now more challenging and now have more options at their disposal in challenging you.
Overwatch Feature - This is a feature that's been planned a long time but had not been implemented. Finally, it will be implemented into the game and it will change how combat goes significantly. It will give you more strategic options in combat as you fight through the challenges ahead.
Linux Version - Our Linux version will also be released before or during the content update. This is actually ready but we're trying to test it a bit more before it goes live. Our Mac version is still undergoing finalization and testing so we're not sure if it will be included with this update. Regardless, this will follow very soon though.
Take note that these are not the only things going into the game. We have more planned and if it doesn't reach the content update, it will follow in succeeding minor updates.
