Dev blog 33 - Albion demo
Hey folks!
After the success of the Steam Summer Games Festival, we wanted to join some other conventions to show the game. Helps with marketing and getting the game a bit more visibility.
We’ve applied to several conventions (all of which are digital due to the alien invasion), and so far we’ve gotten a confirmation of attendance from GamesCom, PAX Online, Digital Dragons, Tokyo Game Show and the Steam Game Festival: Autumn Edition. They will all be linked to our upcoming demo on Steam which will feature the entire first zone of Albion playable. We’ve been running playtesting for the past week, and so far the internal feedback has been positive - which is a testament to the efforts made by Mia and Mat for the overworld gameplay and combat gameplay respectively. There are still bugs to fix, which MarkoZ and I are working on as fast as we can, and will most likely continue fixing as long as we get them reported.
The first of these conventions is GamesCom, which starts tomorrow (at least from what we’re told). The demo will be available normally through Steam, so should you play it, we’d appreciate any actionable feedback. Things that don’t work as expected, crashes, issues with UI, unexplained features, etc. I know Mat will be present in most of these discussions on our Discord server relating to gameplay, while I will be there for technical issues. We're still not 100% sure if the demo will be available between the conventions and festivals, so be sure to try it out just in case, and let us know what you think on the Discord!
I want to get back to fixing those pesky bugs we have on our issue tracking spreadsheet, so I’ll leave you with a few screenshots of the combat action. Join our Discord server if you wanna chat and report those bugs, and follow my Twitter so I can feel wanted.
