Bugs fixes:

Notice: there are could be bugs now using gamepad in ui. They will be fixed next update.

P.S.: It's Halloween event now in the game!

Ok so from what is going on at this point right now, I have big updates in line for Revulsion to get big optimizations. New maps are on the way and I show how the scripting system works and allows for more interesting situations that were simply not possible before. I took a good look at the character meshes and found a huge amount of room for improvement on them as well which is not even really going to take a huge amount of effort to address. There is a small chance that this month will be mostly just focused around me fixing up the character meshes and optimizations that it may take a bit longer to get the first mission out.

I plan to get a sale for the game mid to late this month and time it with the first big patch.

Some details I forgot to mention in the video.
* I will be removing the infinite dungeon and the custom worlds from the tab list. The goal here is to focus on the main content and improve that first.

Mayors,

• The game now captures a preview image when saving a city or building design.
  
• When loading a city or building design, the preview image is shown. Extra info is displayed on building designs.

You can opt in to the Testing branch via the Betas tab, found by right-clicking NewCity in your Steam Library and selecting Properties. Simply click the dropdown under the Betas tab and choose "test - Testing branch." You can return to the current main build via the same dropdown by choosing "NONE - Opt out of all beta programs" instead. Going from one to the other will trigger an update as Steam fetches you the desired branch.

Thank you to everyone who's been playing and submitting feedback and bug reports; we hear you! Keep posting your thoughts in our Steam Discussions, touching base with us on Discord, and Tweeting us videos and screenshots of what you're building. We may not respond to each and every one, but rest assured we're paying attention.

As always, we can't wait to see what you build.

Finally, I started to post this Devlog on Steam! Before I tell you a little bit about the amazing progress, check out this early gameplay video:

Admittedly, it's very early from a graphics point of view.

In the last two weeks since this video:

• I improved the lighting and the neon effect (important an a cyberpunk game!)
  
• How the terrain looks
  
• And I added a bunch of other models

I'm now working on an exciting game trailer that I will share hopefully in 3 weeks.
Some more gameplay screenshots after the improvements above:




Also in September, I modeled some very cool buildings. Take a look:






I hope that you are excited about the progress. I will now post every month or more to keep you in the loop. I will also open an official Discord soon!

After countless hours of testing, it was all worthless. I have discovered a ton of bugs that need fixing, so I will be traveling to a small village on Mount Kilimanjaro to be alone with my computer and attempt to fix the game.

I uploaded the bugs, I'll unload them.

Roadmap can be found here: https://trello.com/b/hpfED4b9/pulseball

Some testers have been given access, and we will increase the participation as new versions come out.
If you want to be part of it, all the discussion is happening at the Discord:

For this version, we focused on a small selection of levels to sample, and many little improvements since July.

Now that these early builds are in your hands, future updates to the game will have detailed patch logs with proper labels and organisation.
