Pre-release Preparation for V1.0, Branding, Level Designs and more

If you are lucky enough to have reciveved a Beta code, then you can jump straight into Pixel Arcade and start completeing the campaign. There are a total of 10 levels in the Beta, initial release should have 25 levels with more added weekly if popular enough! Otherwise you can expect to see new levels monthly, in a large update at the end of each month.

Checkpoints are being updated already thanks to feedback. Rather than landing on the checkpoint to activate it, you will now have to grab the cuboid in the middle and this will allow you to complete the level by activating the checkpoints in a much more flowly mannar. This will be in the latest Beta build as well.



Next up is a countdown to the next level once you have completed it. As the developer, I feel this is a temporary solution but the more analytics and feedback we get the better experience. Personally as someone who loves to play the game, this feels pretty good and has a seemless transistion between scenes without having to go to a menu each time, but also allows you to restart the level and maybe get a better time.

The games development on steam has included the following:

• Steam cloud support
  
• Trading cards will drop in game which reward you with emoticons, backgrounds and more
  
• The game changes at such a rapid pace we struggle to keep up with the latest changes in trailers, screenshots and more but we will continue to update everything as the game develops.

Icons that you can share online can be found here! The community forums on Steam are needing some .. well .. community! We will be releasing Beta keys to those who show they are capable of communication with the community and the developers. Why not even make a post and say what you think of the game so far.

             

The community forums will be a place for players to discuss what features they like about the game and what they want added. With over 100 levels sbeing created for the final game, there is a lot of room to develop new ideas that I havent even thought of yet.
