Hello,

[h2]Demo Build 1.8.7[/h2]
This Demo build has a few improvement.
You can now control UI audio separately.
NPC speech audio is higher now.
There are some UI improvements when dragging to quick item and talents.
Other bug fixes.

[h2]Chapter 2[/h2]
I have made a lot of progress in Chapter 2.
I already have 5 new monsters. New equipment, weapons, armor, magic items.
More environment, new levels, new riddles.
I plan to have at least 12 unique monsters to this chapter, and many more weapons and items.

[h2]Update in Library[/h2]
I did not notice that the client did not display the update events.
I hope this event will appear in the library, as it seems people think the Demo has not been updated since July.

[h2]What else?[/h2]
I will continue to work on chapter 2. And will make improvements to the Demo as well.
I have also created a new box art. What do you think of it?




As always, please let me know if you have any questions, have any feedback or anything you want to say.

Thanks,
Ofer

Hello,

[h2]News[/h2]
I have been working on the Demo, but also making progress in the full version.
There have been some bugs and issues that I had to dedicate quite a few days to solve and improve.
Some bugs even in the Unity engine itself that I had to report.
Now I am already back to progressing the development.

[h2]Demo 1.8.6[/h2]
Bug fixes.
Quality improvements in the visuals and performance.
I have add support to the Turkish language as well.
Water might look a little nicer now.
There are still many fixes I need to do to language support. Mostly, words that are too long for the UI.
I will have to go over all languages and make sure they all fit in the UI.
For now, it is decent support as is.

[h2]Full game[/h2]
I had to work quite some time on bugs that were related to the Unity engine.
But I also made progress in chapter two. Adding new monsters, riddles, items and more level design.
Progress seems to be good. I hope I can tell you that I am near completing chapter 2 soon.

[h2]Finally[/h2]
A new trailer has update. Tell me what you think if you have time.
Do you find games in the Discovery Queue? Do you think the Steam Page of Golel will work well in the discovery queue?
Did you ever get a Demo in the discovery queue?

If you have any feedback, opinions, suggestions, bugs, issues with localization, please let me know in the discussions.

Thank you,
Ofer.

Hello,


I have upload Golel Demo 1.8.1.
This build contains improvements to gamepad support.
It contains improvement to quality issues.
There is now also support for cloud saves.
Notice, that the cloud does not save the image/screenshot of the save, but missing screenshots will not affect your ability to load the save file.
I have also add support to Italian, Traditional Chinese, French and Spanish(Latin America).
The demo is now marked with partial support for Gamepad.
I would like to make it full support of gamepad.


I want to add more language support to the Demo.
I want to make official full support for gamepad.
I want to make a Linux build, the Linux build is not working properly right now. I delay this until I get a Linux machine.
I would potentially also want to make a Mac build.
There are some issues with different languages, like words go over each other.
So I want to fix more existing issue with language localization.
However, I am going to work now more on the full game. I think the Demo is now in a very good state.
I hope the features and improvements will help bring more wishlist to the game.


I will now shift my focus to the full game again.

If you find any issue with the Demo, the language localization, any feedback about the Demo, or anything you want to say. Please let me know in the community hub discussions.


Thank you,
Ofer.

Hello,


I have been fixing issues, and adding visual and audio cues that were missing.
One feature that took me at least a week to add, is gamepad support.
Golel Demo now supports gamepad.
You can play the entire game using gamepad only.
You will need to enable the "gamepad mode" from the menu(the menu can be accessed with the gamepad even without gamepad mode).



You can see the gamepad mapping here:
(Notice gamepad mapping not localized yet, and is only available in English)




I would like to keep improving the gamepad support. There are still ways it can be improved and make a better experience.
I also need to update language localization for new terms, like the gamepad mapping.
I am also going to add support for cloud saves, and the ability to delete existing saves.
Also going to add more language localization.


As much as I would like to continue work only on the full game.
I have found that I still need to implement some of those basic features, like gamepad support and cloud saves.
Those are features that are system wide, so they apply to the full game as well.
The reason is because, games not implementing those features can halve their chances of success.
Those are also very good features that players want, so it makes sense to implement them.

Thank you for being patient,
Ofer.

Hello,

Golel Demo build 1.7.6 is now available.


In this version, a few issues with VR were fixed.
Recent versions of the VR did not work properly.
Also issues with shadows were fixed for monitor.
VR should work fine now. The only issue might be with UI have some effects cover it, it will be fixed in the future as well.


A few visual and audio qualities were improved in the demo.
Also a few visual bugs were fixed.
In addition, the Demo is now supporting Italian localization.


I would like to add gamepad support next.
I think a lot of people want the Demo to support a gamepad controller.
I will also add more languages.
Progress on the full game have been a little slow, but I will put more effort in it soon as well.

If you have any questions, issues, feedback, please let me know in the discussions.

Are you satisfied with the progress?

Thank you,
Ofer.
