Steam Deck Verified

[p]One more milestone is behind!
All optimization and UX efforts combined made it possible to play Drone Perspective on Steam Deck.[/p][p]Fancy link:[/p][p]https://store.steampowered.com/verified/2730700/DRONE_PERSPECTIVE[/p][p][/p][h2]How to play[/h2][p]
Steam Deck downloads custom optimized version.[/p][p]When you launch game for the first time graphics settings will be applied automatically.

If that didn't happen (for example you already played this game on desktop) set your graphics settings to Low on your Steam Deck:[/p]
  • [p]Render Scale: 75[/p]
  • [p]Other sliders to lowest values.[/p]
[p]This will give you between 35 and 60 fps on all levels.


That weird range means I can apply more optimizations down the line, and that's some Unreal Engine bugs standing on the way. (Mostly Landscape legacy caused by engine migrations).
[/p][h2]Controls[/h2][p]Standard gamepad controls work well - you can replay tutorial and first mission to grasp basics and follow on-screen help.[/p][p][/p][p]Pro-tip:[/p]
  • [p]Note that additional functionality is available when you hold Left Trigger.[/p]
  • [p]Use \[Hold Left Trigger] + Arrows to change between squads faster.[/p]
[p][/p][h2]Custom Build[/h2][p]Some sacrifices had to be made to pass the verification check. [/p][p]For now, because of voxel plugin performance in-game level editor is available only on PC version.[/p][p]Optimization is possible, but first I want to deliver Skirmish mode.[/p][p][/p][h2]What's next?[/h2][p][/p][h3]Skirmish map and perpetual war servers[/h3][p][/p][p]Next step is to introduce the dedicated server representing part of the frontline.
You can join the fight for this area either as VEIL or as Blue Lotus or as your own PMC.
Invaders are also trying to capture this area while you are fighting for the influence over it between each other.

Most components are ready - we had our successful online multiplayer tests a while ago.
Current focus is on producing a good and versatile map.

Map is called LINE and it is inspired by massive multilayered defensive fortifications (mostly unmanned, due to the nature of modern drone warfare).

More about the development process in Dev Diaries on Discord.[/p][p][/p][h2]Thank you all for your support![/h2][p]Please, remember to drop your reviews as a sacrifice to the algorithm.[/p][p]This game is being developed without any external funding or publisher, and they matter a lot.

Stay safe![/p]
