Hello everyone! Development of the 4-th episode is at full speed, but unfortunately we need inform you that the release of episode has been delayed. We'll inform you on new release date in near future.
As we stated earlier - we ran into some issues related to developing game for consoles. Those who played our game on consoles may have noticed that there is no online mode. This was due to the fact that porting online mode to such consoles was problematic for us, witch was caused by the lack of experience in this area.
One important moment we missed out, is that online was necessary on all platforms.
Currently we have a discussion on solving this situation. Probable option is - CASE 2 with story campaign will remain so, but online on Steam (and on other platforms) will be a separate game, which would be free to play, of course. We are looking for options and ways to transfer player items, because online mode will be on different Steam page, which would be considered a different game.
We're aiming on simultaneous launch of the Episode 4 on all platforms at once, but new mechanics brings new bugs and issues, so we don't want to rush and roll out a incomplete episode. We appreciate your feedback. For example, animations of the new animatronic, was remade from the scratch. Besides, location of the new episode will be quite large, we'd say, is like a new game.
However, there is some good news - we are almost done with the porting to mobile platforms. At the moment all is left for us, is to improve optimization and reduce the size of the game files. We hope that mobile users will be happy with this news :)
We also planning to create a devlog on our YouTube channel, where we'll talk about what is currently happening in our team. But we want to ask - would it be interesting for you?
We ourselves are not happy with this delay, but we want the game to be really interesting and playable.
Thanks for your attention!
