Hello Dear Players !

I'm currently compiling all the feedbacks I get from litterally everywhere.
I'm keeping track of them all, continuously improving the game and delivering new updates to you.

Thus, a new update (1.0.5) will be available next week. It will be about controls modifications (more fluid, fixing some minor issues) and UI/UX (thanks again for those insightful feedbacks !).

The translations, however, will be available in a later update. The planned languages are English, Spanish, French, Russian, Japanese and Simplified Chinese. More will be added as the player population and demand arises.

In the meantime, don't hesitate to post comments and reviews. As for now, I'll read them all !

Sunlight Games has released a new update for Construction Playground.

The update brings some optimizations, bug fixes and will again add more new content. It is now possible to set formwork walls and fill them with concrete to create walls. Construction Playground has already been released on Steam in Virtual Reality Early Access.

The main game should be finalized in 2024.

Hello truckers!

We've just launched a brand new update for Alaskan Road Truckers. One of the key pieces of feedback has been about customizing your trucker journey, being able to choose a little more and play the game your way.

This update aims to address that. That's why we're inviting you to...



The Trucking Legends Update will give you three options to choose from when you start a new game. In addition to the standard balanced normal mode, you'll also have Casual and Legend options to choose from.

In Casual mode you'll experience an easier time when delivering, perfect if you just want to sit back and get on with trucking. Resources will deplete less fast, the weather will be less punishing - overall it'll be a kinder expeirence.

If you want to test your skills, however, you can choose the new Legend mode. Here you'll start in the depths of winter. Weather will be harder to deal with, missions will be tougher. The game will be much harder to play, and you'll have to fight for survival to become a true Trucking Legend.

• New game modes! (We may add more in the future)

Casual
Better weather, more time for delivery and slower consumption of resources. You start in the summer.

Standard
This is the intended, balanced experience.

Legend
Difficult weather conditions and more demanding orders. You start in winter, with a jacket and wheel chains in your truck's equipment.

• New Legend truck skin, available in customization workshops.
  
• DLSS will now save properly after you set it and won't reset every time you launch the game. However, upon the introduction of the update, you will need to set your DLSS one final time.
  
• Mechanics related to time flow are now fixed, parts or resources do not deplete when leaving the game on idle, sleeping, or being transported to the Hospital.
  
• New controller scheme that can be selected in the Settings, offering a similar experience to other games in the genre.
  
• Fixes to the way many texts are displayed, they should not go over the border anymore.
  
• Fixed the bug that could cause a disappeareance of the truck left in the HQ.
  
• Optimization of the southern part of the map. The optimization process as a whole continues.
  
• Revamping the interior of the starting truck Westend Sorrow 420. More detail, better textures.
  
• Fixed the bug that could cause the player to freeze when sleeping at a motel or being at the HQ.
  
• Improved the way snow tracks are displayed.
  
• Fixed the XP rewards for POI photos, incl. retroactively awarding the points for pics already taken.
  
• Also: Additional optimization tweaks and general fixes, incl. translation fixes, based on community feedback from update testing.

Hello, this is Director Kang of Kingdom: The Blood.

In this dev blog, I'll be discussing the Chi system in the game which is an essential feature to familiarize for a successful battle. How much Chi you acquire and how you use it can be crucial.

There are different bars towards the bottom of the screen. The white one is for HP, the yellow for Chi, and the green orb is for Spirit.



When you get hit or succeed in landing a basic attack, you can Chi. And Chi affects diverse attack motions like the following.



When you roll, be sure to check your Chi. If you don't have Chi, you will be exhausted and have to endure a long delay.






If you want to use parry, you need to possess a certain amount of Chi and it will consume Chi so take that into account.



When you use a special attack with Chi, you can deal more damage and apply the status effect. Landing chain attacks using Spirit on enemies that are under status effect can be thrilling.



You will find that you have max Chi as you battle or are running very low. Make sure to always check, so you can use it when you need it.


If you have good ideas about our game, don't hesitate to tell us!
We are always eager to hear what you have to say.

Thank you

We have another small content update for you!
In this patch we’re addressing the more defensive items, trying to make them more interesting, relevant, and balanced against what you can get out of them compared to traits.


We are making steady progress on the 5th world, but since this will be all new with a lot of new enemy types, animations, and gameplay features, it will all take a bit longer to cook. Currently, we do not expect this to be finished this year, but rather early next year.
Until then we’ll work on smaller updates like this to keep improving the game.


Thank you all for your feedback and the many crash dumps you’ve sent us. They are still very helpful and we are tinkering on many rough edges to improve the overall stability of the game.
Because the technical details are quite involved, we aren’t listing any changes regarding stability. But in general, after the update, crashes should become less and overall performance should improve, especially for abilities like Hailstorm or Arcane Explosion.
If you continue to experience crashes, please let us know and send us the data!
More information here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2218750/discussions/1/3833172326397666982/


Regarding the smaller content updates, we’ll keep adding quests, ability upgrades, and new items as well as improving the existing ones. Since this patch is focussed more on item rework, in the next patch we’d like to focus more on getting additional ability upgrades into the game, aside from other new content (including items).
This update should most probably arrive before Christmas and it will be coupled with an engine update from Godot 4.1 to Godot 4.2. I will also contain adjustments for the freshly added content depending on your feedback.

__________________________________________

If you have any questions regarding the patch or the outlook, please comment below the news for the next 24 hours and we’ll add the answer’s here.


Do you plan on increasing monster density on Agony 5 or adding additional Agony levels?
Undecided yet. Monsters will be definitely stronger and have higher defense on higher "difficulty" levels. But Increasing monster counts also means impact to the performance. And to add to that - We have a feature in mind where you can adjust difficulty level more freely from the start of a session that unlocks with or after Agony in the feature. (If you ever read something about "Torment Shrine" - that)


Any plans on adding interactables during runs?
Yes, but we haven't them scheduled yet :)


When will you add Steam trading cards and point shop items?
With the 1.0 release next year!


What's with the mysterious stairs to the south of the "camp?"
Originally it was the exist bringing you back to the desktop. People were heavily confused during the early stages of the game so removed that functionality. But we have found a new purpose for them that will be revealed at a later time.


How exactly will a "Turbo Mode" be implemented?
It will be a modifier in the "Shrine of Torment" where you can place artifacts to modify the game. We imagine one or two of those artifacts will be to make the duration shorter. Beware: This would be agony only.


Any plans on having a "Progression" level where the player has to travel between hand-crafted areas while fighting off regular spawns?
No, that would to big for Halls of Torment. There might be possible some handcrafted landmarks being added on the current maps, but that is the extend we'll probably go with the base game.


Are there any plans for adding a gold sink?
Yes, but they'll take a bit more time as they are not so high priority right now.


Are there any plans for localization into different languages ​​in the future?
We'll translate the game for the 1.0 release. Before that we'll continue in English only to hasten development. (Maintaining translations has a big overhead)


Any chance for a male/female variant for every class? What about other cosmetic customization?
Most likely no. While it would be great, because it is a pure 2D game with hundreds of sprites per character not only would it blow the size of the game, it would take months to create 1-2 additional skins for each character. That's the scale of a whole new stage including all enemies and bosses.


Anything in game that explicitly says how force applies to each individual weapon would be very helpful. Does force increase effect on hit %?
During a run you can open the statistics with [Space], you can look through all abilities and items, and any line with (Force) tagged is affected by Force.


Do you guys have any plans on buffing summons?
Buff is a difficult word, but the Skeleton and Imp Ring will get a rework much like the rats. Also, Spirit Warrior's ability will get better balance, we believe that it's currently not as usable as it should be. Outstanding are also 3rd Ability Upgrades for the Golem and Spirit Warriors.


Take care! 🥕
