An Update on 1.0
Hello,
It's been a while since our last communication, and we've been remiss in not giving an update sooner. For that I apologize. Our schedule has slipped quite a bit; we were overly optimistic for too long ("it'll be done end of next week for sure!") and so we thought the best move would be to simply drop 1.0 and say it's here. That's turned out to be a bad strategy as the delay grew longer and longer.
Our delay comes down to our difficulties with the AI (specifically their shooting with accuracy that feels right). It really felt like banging our heads on the wall for weeks on end. We've finally managed to overcome that hurdle, and now feel like we're gearing up for the launch in a couple of week's time (give or take a few days).
We're also not sure if launching during the Summer Sale event makes sense or not, so we're looking into that (assuming we're ready to launch before the Sale event ends) and if it doesn't we'll launch a few days after.
I'll do a better job with communication going forward. We're planning on throwing up a video of one of the campaign missions a few days before launch so people can see what the game is like.
Thanks for your patience!
