Dev Log- April 2023: End of Final Beta
Hello, Frontiers
Before we begin, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for your incredible support and participation in the Final Beta Test. We hope that you guys had a blast playing DUBIUM.
For this month’s Dev log, we would like to talk about what we’ve heard from players during the Final Beta as it was our final testing before Early Access which is the 2nd Quarter of this year. During the Beta, we received a lot of valuable feedback and suggestions from you guys, and let’s see what kind of feedback we got from you guys!
FYI: We’re currently preparing an infographic about the Final Beta Test. So, be sure to come back!
So, let’s go over some feedback and questions that you guys asked!
Q: How much will DUBIUM be and when is it going to be released?!
A: First, the cost of DUBIUM will be around 15$ - $30. We were planning to release DUBIUM in the 2nd quarter of this year. So, very soon
Q: Will there be a reporting system for players who ruin the game experience?
A: In the last year's October Next Live AMA session, we discussed about the player report system for malicious users who shows offensive, negative, or disruptive behavior. However, due to the various play styles in Dubium, it is difficult to apply the user reporting system to determine whether a user's actions were intentionally malicious or simply a survival tactic. For example, it would be debatable reporting a player who escaped alone while other players were doing missions, as he was just doing a selfish gameplay. However, we do not want to have bad experience due to these types of players. Therefore, we are considering alternative methods to prevent these users to act maliciously. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to share them on Discord!
Q: What kind of new content will be in the Early Access?
Regarding the upcoming Early Access content, there will be a variety of cosmetics such as character costumes, gestures, and other attractive items. Additionally, a new frontier will be joining the Early Access release. To give you guys a sneak peek about the new frontier, he is an ex-hunter from Iceland who specializes in traps. He has joined the space frontier to find a utopia to release his twisted desires.
Q: Will DUBIUM support the console, steam deck, and gamepad?
A: Yes but later, we are planning to optimize the gamepad controls. Regarding the consoles and steam deck, we are also thinking about supporting them after releasing Early Access on PC.
Q: Will there be a translation of other languages?
A: Yes! Oui! Sì! Ja! Sí! はい! 네! Owszem! 是的! Да! Sim! Ya! We haven't decided how many or what language to localize yet. If you have any recommendations, feel free to let us know.
If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to leave them in the comments below or on DISCORD
Once again, we want to thank you for your participation in the Final Beta Test, and we look forward to seeing you guys soon in Early Access!
Thank You and See You Soon
