Alaska Gold Fever News

Hello travelers!

In this edition of devlog, we're thrilled to share the exciting developments regarding the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into our game.
Disclaimer: we are talking here about "NORMAL" AI, like every game is using , not about some newly things like chatbots or somethingthat can draw pictures :D
Just wanted to said that at the beggining so there will be no misunderstandings :D






The aim in creating realistic NPC's behaviours is to elevate player engagement and deliver a truly immersive experience!
Realistic characters that can behave accordingly to their times can captures the essence of the Alaskan gold fever!



But first thing first. It hard to make a good AI. First thing - AI must learn to not bump into walls too often :D Traditionally, NPCs followed predetermined scripts, limiting their interactions and responses.
But using some great scripts NPCs can now walk almost everywhere (where theu SHOULD BE ABLE to walk).





Sorry no screens of wildlife here :( everything ai-related are only in those "white rooms" for now :D
Use your imagination :D



Okay so let's say that this point is a player, human or a town with people.
We must write our animals AI that way that if they will encounter it one time, there are willing to avoid it next time. It's possible but outcome can vary :D





It's really interesting working on AI in gamedev. Even before this "AI Revolution" that we all encounter nowadays!
Now we have high speed PCs, Playstation 5 etc. but in lets say a NES or PS1 times the AI doesnt even had much computing power so its was hard to make a good behaving NPCs. I thing in PS2 era Ai in games beginned to behave more naturally (lets check a GTA 3 for example)


What will this cowboy do? Can AI decide for himself? We will see really soon and not only in videogames :0

Hello travelers!

In our relentless pursuit of perfection, "Alaska Gold Fever" has undergone a transformation that's nothing short of extraordinary.

We'd like to take you on a journey through the game's evolution, comparing the old and the new, and showcasing how each enhancement will contribute to an unforgettable gaming experience in the Alaska!



Old: The early version of the game featured a basic shelter and campfire.
It was a functional but uninspiring place to rest between mining expeditions.
New: Introducing the brand-new Prospector's Tent Order it now and get 0,01% discount!
This cozy, authentically designed shelter offers both comfort and immersion.





Old: The initial forest environment was lacking in detail and often felt like a mere backdrop, lacking the immersion that players deserved, yes it was merely a placeholder with two tree designs :D
New: Now, the forest has come alive. It's a vibrant, dense, and captivating part of the game. You'll find yourself lost in the beauty of the Klondike wilderness, with lush canopies, wildlife, and ever-changing weather patterns that deepen your connection with nature. And watch out for "forest dwellers"!





Old: This mode of transportation in the early version was nowhere to found! We implemented it later, in newer game builds.
New: Get ready for the thrill of dog sled adventures! We've introduced faithful canine companions to help you navigate the wild terrain. Whether you're racing through snowstorms or leisurely exploring, the dog sleds add an entirely new dimension to your journey! And dont forget to feed and pat a dogs!





Old: The gold mines in the early version were limited in scope, leaving players yearning for more adventure. And of course mining animations were limited.
New: We've expanded the gold mine locations. Now, you can explore deeper into the Klondike, uncovering fresh challenges and rewards. And you can use a new tools like mining cart!



From basic to breathtaking, the evolution of Alaska Gold Fever is a testament to our commitment to delivering a truly exceptional gaming experience :D

Hello travelers!

In this devlog, we will focus on the recent changes made to the game's logos and header images!

These changes are intended to enhance the overall visual appeal and improve the game's branding.





We have updated the game's logo to better represent the theme and atmosphere of Alaska Gold Fever. The new logo features elements that symbolize the Alaskan wilderness, gold mining, and adventure (golden font!!! Ou yeah!!).





To further enhance the visual experience, we have revamped the main images of the game.

The new header image gives players a glimpse of the picturesque landscapes found in the Alaskan wilderness.
It showcases the majestic mountains, clean sky, and a bit of lush forests, immersing players in the game's setting.
And don't forget a classical map! We used it for a better framing :D
I love how it interconnects with a landscape :D







We already had a setted character on our covers but we decided to replace him with a new one - this is "Cover Cowboy Chap" ( a "CCC" in shortened form)!
He is carefully drawn from scratch and he got a DOG COMPANION!





These changes not only add visual appeal but also help in creating an immersive atmosphere for players to enjoy while exploring the world of gold mining in Alaska.
Feel free to tel lus what you think about those changes ;)

Thank you for your support, and stay tuned for more exciting updates as we continue to develop Alaska Gold Fever!
