Back to the Dawn Dev Q&A Issue #1
Hello Inmates!
As we work hard to get Back to the Dawn ready for launch, we will be increasing our frequency of posts on Steam so that you know what we are up to.
We will also be starting a regular Q&A issue where we will be answering some questions we receive from you!
So here goes!
Q - Will Back to the Dawn support other operating systems?
A - Our priority is to make sure the game runs perfectly on PC, and then look at the Mac OS (but we can't guarantee it at the moment).
Q - Will there be an endless mode for the game?
A - Looks like some of you really dig the idea of staying in prison lol. On a serious note, while we would love to make it happen, it's not going to be easy as the events happening in the prison are individually designed and hard programmed at the moment. To cater to an endless mode, the events have to be procedurally generated and we would have to redesign the game flow logic and engine. At the moment, this would be a herculean task and disrupt our plans, so we would prefer to keep the option open for the future.
Q - Can I use Thomas to get involved in more brawls in the actual game? I didn't get enough of him in the demo!
A - Absolutely! In the official game release, you are going to get as much action as you like getting into scuffles with inmates!
Q - This is a bit of an odd request. Can you create different sounds for Thomas when he walks across different floors?
A - At the moment, we have different sounds for when Thomas walks on wet floor and cemented floor. We will try to add in more sounds in the future, but making the gameplay experience unique is our priority!
Q - Can you make a 'low health' Thomas look less healthy?
A - Aha! Great minds think alike! We are thinking of making it such that the main character's health will be reflected by his head portrait, much like the early versions of Doom. We probably won't make it such that Thomas will look bloodied, but he most definitely would look quite haggard when he's unhealthy.
Curious what it will be like..? Here are some work-in-progress iterations that we are working on, just for your eyes!
Q - Pretty sure I've seen enough of the intro scene in the demo. Can you let me skip it please?
A - Your wish is our command. The function to skip the intro scene has been updated in the demo. You can now jump straight into the prison action!
That's all for Issue #1 of Back to the Dawn's Q&A! If you have other burning questions of your own, please feel free to ask them in the comments section below, and do follow us on our socials!
