Hey, everyone!

It has been almost three months since we invited the first wave of testers. The general feedback has been very positive, but there were a few elements which needed to be fixed or improved. So we've been diligently working on that: fixing problems, one by one, and raising the quality of our beloved game.


Massive wall of tasks in front of us


Here's a summary of the improvements we've accomplished over the last 2-3 months:

- improved input, especially for mouse and keyboard
- improved game feel, added more effects
- added more advanced melee weapon animations and adjusted all timings
- added animations for ranged weapon attacks and reloading

- made stealth better readable by adding border to visual cones and overlapping
- updated line of sight handling
- allowed other game actions while in stealth, like switching weapon and targeting
- added free look functionality
- fixed lots of situations where interactions would break stealth but should not
- allowed pickpocketing of enemies, improved pickpocketing gameplay and UI
- allowed backstabbing friendly NPCs

- improved combat behaviors, e.g. using movement while reloading
- improved handling of NPCs pursuing player, e.g. when to allow a player to leave the area
- updated animations of all non-human characters
- fixed lots of bugs in behaviors, including door situations

- added lots of new audio
- added equippable headwear for player characters
- updated some area artworks
- added a few more NPCs and items
- small level design improvements everywhere

- removed full-screen render texture, converting all non-standard sprite scene objects to individual pixelart grid solutions, to have smooth scrolling and sharp character presentation while maintaining the scene art consistency (took us weeks to convert, but it was absolutely worth it)
- fixed even more pixelart related issues
- added more shaders and stuff

- made normal difficulty more accessible, hard difficulty more intense
- improved variety and quantity of gaining experience points
- adjusted attribute and skill points, added character level limitations
- adjusted weapon gameplay values
- adjusted item selling values
- added optional challenges for the campaign run

- improved camera handling, area switching and spawning situations
- added inventory functionality to exchanging items between both players
- lots of usability improvements, like having a shared quest items inventory, tutorial items granted to both players etc.
- fixed lots of co-op specific bugs

- added more "juice" to every interaction
- implemented platform features like achievements
- added more features for [unannounced]
- improved world map
- made it possible to save inside procedurally generated world map encounters
- added autosaving on floor changes etc.
- improved tutorials
- fixed some performance issues
- lots of UI and input improvements
- added more user config options

- added modding of gameplay values
- added modding of all text entries
- added testbot which gives the game a testrun for every new version
- improved error handling and error messaging to user


New player headwear, already looted by NPC


As you can see, we've been very busy. Still no promises for the release date. But if we can channel the productive energy we had for the foundational work, usability and low level gameplay into improving the story, the quests and the more abstract elements of game play, then the Early Access version is bound to be in a very good state.

We'll be inviting more testers in the coming weeks. If you haven't done so, you can apply through this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1fmr5-biTbCHMcSw3Amc0KSqvRAXgk9UboMsACfVCHOw

Your Aura Kingdom Team

We are still focused on preparing the demo version of Espresso Tycoon. That’s why we have started some next steps to develop it.
We want our game to be as realistic as possible. That’s why we need to focus on a lot of different details. One of them is implementing the diversity between customers.

Creating the characters in the game includes taking into consideration a lot of factors – like ethnicity, age, or sex. The characters will also differ in style and colors of clothes.





In Espresso Tycoon we are going to have eight different social groups:

• Kids
  
• Seniors
  
• Tourists
  
• Business
  
• Hipsters
  
• Casuals
  
• Students
  
• Tech

One may think that running a coffee shop means just realizing the orders and selling coffee. Well, that’s a big mistake. The diversity between people means also different customers’ preferences. It is influenced by many factors – like the place, the decoration, prices of your coffee, but also kinds of coffee, even the beans that are used to create the recipe.



The player will need to think about which kind of coffee should be on the menu – for example, seniors prefer some traditional recipes, like just black coffee. On the other hand – you can’t sell caffeine or alcohol to the kids (and you have to remember about it!), but they would love to buy some sweets or hot chocolate. Hipster can order a coffee with some special ingredients - like almond milk. That’s why you have to remember about ordering all the supplies you need.


In Espresso Tycoon there will be some more characters, which will have some special functions in the game – like your employees (baristas or cleaners) and influencers, who can be invited to your coffee shop to promote your place.



We thought also about the bodyguards, who can protect the coffee shop - if you would like to sabotage your rivals (and they would like to revenge). But maybe that’s too much?

Tell us, what you think.

We decided to delight fans of CG4 with the release of two DLCs one day before the scheduled release date.

The new 1.2 version of Defender 3D has some major updates including:

• New lighting system - Enhances background and atmospheric lighting, model reflections and explosion effects. The new lighting effects also makes the game slightly brighter which makes the game a much better experience over all
  
• New AI Attack Systems - The new AI attack systems gives greater scope for the alien crafts to decide whether or not to attack. The aliens will now make decisions based on distance, other alien crafts in the area. All alien weapons have also been enhanced. These will now be more direct and influenced by your skill level.
  
• New Player Ship models - I have rebuild all of the player models making them slightly larger and more stylized. I have also repositioned the gun turrets slightly. This makes shooting the enemies more instinctive.
  
• Complete UI rebuild - I have redesigned the entire UI system to make the menus and ingame UI more attractive and intuitive.

The game is now available for download in Early Access, a little earlier than the initial date.

Thank you for joining us. :)

Thank you so much to everyone for all the positive messages. The game launch has been a really wonderful, heartwarming experience. It has been amazing having people tell me not only that they like the game as it is, but believe it has the potential to become popular with streamers and speedrunners. I hope you're all right about that!

The game has been out for about 48 hours, and people have crashed their test dummies almost 15,000 times!!!!
That's over 300 crashes an hour! I can't wait to see how that number changes as more people find out about the game.

Something I didn't expect leading up to the release was how many non-English streamers would be playing the game. The majority of PogoChamp streams I've seen have been by non-English streamers, mostly from Turkey and Spain. Lets all work together to make PogoChamp a global sensation!

During a pre-release stream of the game, I noticed a bug with the way wall jumping worked.
The issue was that when you input a tilt direction, the game applies a small acceleration to your character. This acceleration allows you to do things like adjust your trajectory mid-air, but it is applied at all times, not just while airborne. This resulted in the situation where tilting away from a wall resulted in your character accelerating away from that wall and falling off before you can jump. The fix was a pretty simple one, just check if you're against a wall and if you're in the process of jumping: if you are, then only apply the acceleration forces along the wall, not away from it. The effect of the fix means that it's much harder to "randomly fall off walls" while wall-jumping.
