UPDATE #001 - OUR STEAM PAGE IS LIVE
After much deliberation, we decided the best course of action was to create a steam page- and we couldn't be happier with the feedback and resonance that we've received so far.
Our goal is that by doing so at this stage of development, we can help build awareness, and generate excitement among fans. We plan on pumping out regular updates, keeping you informed about our process, trials, and tribulations.
[h2]WISHLIST[/h2]
Not gonna lie here, the whole wishlist option was one of the biggest motivational factors in our decision to go live with our steam page. Adding Cold Comfort to your wishlist is a great way to support the development and stay up to date. As we are a small indie dev studio among many, garnering the attention of not only potential fans, but also potential publishers is of paramount importance. Is Cold Comfort going to be successful? Who the heck knows! All we can say is that we are confident that with the proper support, we strive to make Cold Comfort a contender.
[h2]LOCALIZATION[/h2]
In addition to the English version, our steam page is now available in the following languages:
We are currently working on a number of other language versions as well! We want as many potential fans of Cold Comfort to be able to get hyped about the game as possible.
[h2]MODULARITY IN THE PIPE[/h2]
An elaborate and customized AI system is a key feature for a multiplayer game that utilizes NPCs. The better the AI system is planned and executed, the better optimization of resources will be in the game. Furthermore, it affects the visuals and the experienced realism, as well as the entire gameplay experience.
The Modular AI in Cold Comfort plays a big role in maintaining realism and authenticity in a visceral environment. One key feature, and also aim, of the Modular AI system, is being resource-efficient. The Modular AI System aims at delivering a certain level of randomness in the appearance of NPCs by combining interchangeable body/clothing parts and altering the texture (adding dirt, blood, etc.) with the help of masks and nodes, and can be sustained with a smaller, and thus more resource-efficient library, rather than using a big library filled with different NPCs and texture sets. But in order to make the system work flawlessly, there are important aspects in the creation process that need to be taken care of.
[h2]QUESTIONNAIRE [/h2]
As game developers, we sometimes suffer from tunnel vision, and forget what is truly important to you, our fans! By filling out this questionnaire, we'll get a better grasp of what you guys and gals expect and want out of Cold Comfort, and how we can give you the most excellent gaming experience.
[h2]DISCORD[/h2]
Our discord server is alive! You can join the conversation and hang out with other fans on the discord server and talk directly to us regarding your thoughts and ideas about Cold Comfort.
This is our first update EVAH. We doin' this right?
