Supraworld News

[p]John Walker played some Supraworld and interviewed me about it.
Read that here: Why first-person Metroidvania Supraworld’s developer is hoping players will try to break his game - Epic Games Store[/p][p][/p][p]The testing of the Early Access is going really well. We have barely any bugs to speak of and everyone is having a great time.[/p][p]So far it's just Act1 (out of 4) but it seems to be much bigger than we thought. Some people get through it in 10 hours, some need up to 30 hours and there is a lot of optional stuff on top. Just so you have a rough idea.[/p][p]We're planning to release the Supraworld Early Access on 15. August 2025. I have not put that date onto the store page yet, as we are not 100% sure if we can do it, because the localisation work is not done yet. If something goes really wrong we might need to delay it for a bit. But that's the plan anyway![/p][p][/p][p]-David[/p]

Have fun with the new trailer!

We're 3 years into development and we're finally close to getting the entire first act of Supraworld playable.
When that is done, we'll properly test it and go live with it in Early Access.

In this progress visualization you can roughly see where it's at:



For the act 1 release we also need the "Finishing" bar about 1/3 filled (that is the testing, making a trailer - which is required - and maybe localisation).

The other 3 acts will progress much quicker than the first, because the code fundamentals of the game are basically there now.
The detailed plans for the acts are done for a long time; the level design execution of these plans is not such a big deal now that our tools are finally in place.

You can tell we've upgraded to be a AAAA studio because you can pick an edition:

I know many of you are waiting for Early Access and I predicted october at some point.

We're like "we only need to do those 4 things, then act 1 is ready", but then you find problems in code you did 1-2 years ago and happen to rework it completely for performance reasons and another month went by with no real progress.
Things just take more time for it to be good.

I was also personally busy moving to a new home from june to october, which didn't help.

We're currently doing a lot of optimisation. I already have the FPS quadrupled on my machine, which is pretty cool, because I was really worried about performance for a long time, but it's getting very good now. Btw, it's not so much GPU stuff. The bottleneck is still in inefficient code running on the CPU.

Besides that, most core features are almost done. So at least development speed will dramatically increase once we've finished those fundamentals and optimised a lot.

You might also have heard about Unreal Engine 5.5 and some of the new features. We're looking forward to try those out, especially Megalights can make a big difference for us as it is currently a big problem that we cannot have many lights at the same time. It will give us so much more freedom in the world design.

I would say Early Access should definitely happen in early 2025.
Sorry to everyone waiting, but we have to make sure it's good!
See you in the next apology news post :D

Which edition is it gonna be for you?

Btw, you already shortened development time by 2500 minutes with your likes the other day.
If you keep going, the game was released last year.
