Since the horses can use both leads in the canter or gallop, it has been important for us to integrate the lead change. The animation for the lead change itself is not made yet, but the transition from one lead to another is what's being showcased here. The horse can turn in any direction on the same lead, then switch leads and do the same on the other side. A big step towards our end goal.





After fixing the face shape of the Norwegian warmblood in our last community post, we decided to take a look at the two other horse breeds and fine tune them. Their changes aren't quite as drastic as with the Norwegian warmblood, but you can still see the difference in them. The Norwegian fjord also had some changes to the normal map. The difference can be seen in the cheekbone and nasal bone.




Feeding horses are a big part of maintaining them. Astride will have their very own lines of feed for the horses and we are currently testing out a few brand logos that could fit into the game. There are definitely more brands in the work, but here are a couple examples.




We had a previous set of brushes and tools for horse care that have now been freshened up with new textures and some modifications to fit into our more semi-realistic style.




We can't forget about the competition aspect of Astride. And for that we need rewards. Trophies and rosettes will be some of the rewards the players can acquire for doing well in competitions. So get ready to fill your trophy cabinets with these!




The next few weeks will be all about physics and making a good enough horse controller to play with. The horses will no longer be able to run through walls or fences.




Prepare yourself (and your horse) for a rainy day! Many variations of rugs and blankets are currently in the making for dealing with cold and bad weather.


Please note that everything shown in these devlogs is mostly just work in progress and is not finished. Changes may happen and the things showcased here will have further work put into them! To see work in progress daily, join our Discord server community here!

Hi all,

Last year I've announced halting the development of Renegade due it being too heavy to carry by myself and deliver a finished product in a short time frame. I had lost sight of what I was doing it for and I was gutted people paid for a product delivered in the state it was.

It was never the idea to turn this into my primary source of income as I am already engaged in a full time job. Me doing this was merely to continue a hobby (creating stuff) which I was previously engaged during the time I heavily modified Aliens vs. Predator 2 (over a decade). The funds raised would then be used to get a hold of more marketplace resources and tailor it into a classic first person shooter with a modern twist.

Practically no additional funds came in, marketing was lacking terribly and there simply wasn't the help/knowledge I needed to deliver the game completed in the short term. Constructing a video game from scratch is a hell of a lot more different than simply modifying an existing product. So this thought processing, while receiving little to no constructive feedback, lead to the halting of development.

As time progressed, other games were played, there was always this itch to continue with Renegade. After some time, I decided to pick it back up and finish what I had started. To finish it, it could take a while, however given my approach moving forward this present day will give the time it needs to finish it up.

To further emphasize my point of being a hobby project. The game will be free to play from this moment onward. You might ask yourself if I'm going to start with paid skins and what have you? The answer is no, nor will this change in the future. As noted above, this was never to be something that would turn into my primary source of income. Couple of friends advised to put a donate button for those who would really like to support the game by financial means to buy more marketplace stuff. Realize you aren't obligated nor expected to donate whatsoever.

Some time today, the game will be available once again with the latest build. This build has changed a lot under the hood and should feel a bit more better. However there's still a lot of work to be done. My apologies to those who bought and expected more from it in the short term. There is simply no excuse, yet one must regard this still falls under an early access game. If you do decide to pick this game up, please by all means post feedback / report technical issues in the appropriate sections of the forums.

Dear friends! Today is the day when exactly a month remains until the release of our new game, "Love, Money, Rock'n'Roll"! We have come a long way, one that would've been impossible without you and your support!

Since the last blog post we:
1. Implemented the backer list with the ability to search by name.
2. Put a lot of work into preparing the game for launch on Google Play and App Store.
3. Solved a number of problems not directly connected to the game itself that had been mentioned in the May blog post.
4. Fixed a great number of small bugs that had been found by our community (thank you guys very much!) and showed up when creating especially exotic and difficult situations for the game.
5. Implemented new outlines for narrator names, now they look much better than before.
6. Improved sprite texture quality on mobile devices.
7. Added two more backgrounds.
8. Finishing up the addition of backer names to the credits — gotta have the final list for that!
9. Finishing up the system for giving out preorders on mobile platforms.

As we'd mentioned before, after today we will not be accepting any more names for the credits, but you will still be able to make a preorder and receive all future DLCs (and a digital artbook).
We'd also like to remind you that you can buy a key to the game right now on our website.

And one more thing: the image in today's post isn't random. What it means, however, for now, you'll have to guess.
