I just uploaded a new demo. This one is running in Unreal Engine 5, does some fixes for lighting and I also added a settings menu. In the meantime I am working on more game content, and I hope I can have the purchase button back soon.
As mentioned in previous posts, when the purchase button come back, the game will still be in Early Access, so not all content will be included. I think I said this before but I am not sure. I am releasing this again as early access for various reasons. First, to have some "accountability" and make myself finish the game. To gradually add and improve content based on your input. And lastly to get some much-needed funds while I am making the game. The obvious question is "how do I know you're going to finish the game?" and my answer is "if I didn't plan to finish this game I would have just remained silent when you asked about updates and the purchase button". As you see I have been sharing updates and plans to bring the game back for some time, and now I am actually moving forward with my plans.
It's been a blast to check out the most recent round of submissions and see the communities creativity on display. We've had time to reminisce on previous community votes by seeing some of the popular entries return to battle it out! We can't wait to see which creature reigns victorious in the fourth Community Creature Vote!
We are excited to see which creature will be added to Scorched Earth for ARK: Survival Ascended! Now that submissions for creatures have closed, the second round of voting begins now until May 1st at 4 PM Pacific.
The winner* will be announced in the Crunch Friday, May 5th 2023.
Rank the creatures in order of most preferred to least preferred
The vote is limited to 1 submission per person (duplicate entries will be discarded)
Below are the candidates that have made it into the final 10. Find out more information about the creature by clicking on the hyperlink attached to the name.
* Note that once the winner has been determined, we'll be reading through these threads and using them as inspiration for how the creature will be designed; aspects suggested may change.

Change Log: Player no longer gets stuck on edges while jumping. Full controller support reworked how fire acts from the fire jets. made level 28 a bit more 'fair' Now has 9 languages to choose from.
Thank you all for reporting bugs to us in the forums!
Today I added some improvements to the fast travel scene, and redesigned the overworld map.
I solved a bug found by c.c.m.a.
Hopefully, I also solved another bug that happened in battles with some players in part 2 onwards. THis one was reported by joaolonguini18 and inacio.jc. Thank you!
The team is working hard at Part 6 and the grand finale!
I just stopped by just to let you know that our game will be participating in Steam Puzzle Fest, which will be held between April 24th and May 1st. There will be a lot of cool stuff.
