Devlog #5: UI, QoL Changes and more!

We'd like to start with a big thank you to anyone who hopped on the demo hype with us and provided very valuable (and much needed) feedback through any channel available. It was our first Steam Next Fest so we can not stress enough how much it means to us and to improving the game, so kudos to you for taking time for that.

After the demo rollout with the Steam Next Fest, our main focus was to adress initial findings of you guys, regarding the tutorial (as a whole), UI-UX improvements and language support. Here is what we implemented;

UI & Visual Updates;

• Various UI changes to the evolve screen, now you can see future upgrades and what you would get if you continue upgrading.

• Map sizes got smaller visually. Now, you can not see the parts of the map that you are not able to walk towards. So the actual gameplay area is the same, just the visual clutter beyond the fight arena is removed.

• Brand new cutscenes added for completing the planets Zar'Skin and Scrapheim.

Quality-of-Life Improvements

• Russian language and localization support now available

• The dub voice level slider added for adequate sound mixing

• Overall text sizes got adjusted

• The tutorial is totally revamped. Instead of the unskippable texts explaining the game one-by-one, now you can hop on the game directly and access the tutorial from the (?) icon top right side of the minimap.

  The tutorial button explains everything you need to know at that moment, from skill usage to turret mechanics, in short-but-informative fashion. You will be able to select the specific area of the game you wanted to, close the pop-up menu and keep on shootin'.

This update was mainly focused on the major grievances about the general look of the game and the much needed QoL updates, so the next one will be almost exclusively gameplay-related. Our aim is to create a fresh, fun and very violent atmosphere to the game with a perfect gameplay flow.

Meanwhile, join our Discord server for getting to know the updates first hand, or to just hang out. ^^

Thanks for the unwavering support you people provided during this time, and hopefully we will not disappoint.

Many more updates coming soon.
