For those of you who have been paying attention, we previously said that the next big update would be between March and July. Well, it's gonna be July, lol. But that aside, things are going really good!
The next region is "map_chopshop", a section of underground rail tunnels which have been converted into makeshift garages and shanties by New Zabra's mysterious subterranean denizens, the Grajiik.
For this level, we decided to go a bit more conventional than on the Pinafore centrifugal spaceship. We've been playing some objective-based semi stealth shooters recently (Timesplitters 2!) and we want to try doing a more straightforward structure inspired by these!
But, naturally, since we are Team Fortune, this return to a more standard format must also be accompanied with several wacky additions in engine technology.
Introducing... Y2K useable turret emplacements!
Enemies can now occupy static turrets and use them to defend their positions more effectively. The player can of course use them as well!
This also extends to other creative turret types such as the stealth game classics... Spotlights, featuring the bucket sniper from blight town!
Along with these new quite frankly revolutionary additions, we also have some cutting edge graphics tech to show off. The special shader which we used to render voxel grass in the tutorial level has now been expanded to other types of surfaces. Volumetric pixelated garbage! A bit like those MMO minecraft clones!
Also, you know what we didn't have in the other levels? Cameras! How can you have an immersive sim without cameras! But of course we can't do anything normally, so instead of being a camera that you can hack and see through, our cameras are actually high density laser scanners which have a rhythmic pattern that you will have to evade with acrobatics.
And this is only the beginning of the new features which you will be playing in a few months. Soon, more information on:
New hacking puzzles
New enemy types
Cute droids
New searchable, moveable corpses with Octahedral 3dVision Technology
New weapons, including a tool which can restore power to devices in the world
It has been almost two and a half years since this game was released as Early Access. The journey took much longer than expected, and I added much more content than I anticipated. The community (you guys) has helped out more than I can express. The feedback, bug reporting, suggestions, and support has been amazing, much-needed, and invaluable. I could never have done it without you. From the bottom of my heart: Thank you. <3
And now, the game leaves Early Access, which is rather scary. But the last two months have been almost nothing except bug hunting, UI improvements, and quality of life additions. No game is ever perfect, but this game is now ready.
This 1.0 release is not a major content patch, which might be standard. The final stages have been gradual improvements, polish, and sharpening, instead of one big leap.
As always: a billion thanks for all the support and feedback! Really, really, really!
May 23rd 2024 will be the official release date of the game! After the successful demo, which you could try for the first time during the Steam Next Fest, I haven't slowed down and am working hard to bring you the full version with new challenges. If you haven't tried the demo yet, you still have a chance!
Right from launch, you'll have 50 varied levels at your fingertips, and some of them will really give you a hard time. But it doesn't stop there. I plan to spoil you with free updates that will add more levels to the game. Thanks to the built-in editor, you will be able to continuously expand the list yourself!
Additional content
And hold on to your hats, because this is just the beginning! Your Kubikon 3D adventure will be enriched with several additional packs soon after release! These will be released over the course of this year and next. Each DLC will bring new environments and most importantly, new gameplay mechanics and puzzles that are guaranteed to challenge you.
