Regrettably, we have decided to discontinue the development of Heart Attack and will be removing its page from Steam. Our small team of two developers has been working on Heart Attack for 18 months. We've put in a tremendous amount of effort, and each step has presented significant challenges.

The reasons for halting development are as follows:

Our team consists of one programmer and one 3D graphic modeler. As you might know, we lacked an animator and had to substitute certain animations, such as reloading, with different approaches. We face significant limitations in making necessary changes, such as updating the AI of the mobs and networking issues.

The most critical issue with Heart Attack has been its lack of enjoyment. The gameplay, where mobs attack a vehicle and players protect it, felt too similar to a zombie defense game. This made the game feel passive as players barely moved and didn't feel significantly threatened by the mobs. The gameplay was reduced to just shooting from within a shield, which was repetitive. We considered transforming Heart Attack into a turret installation defense game due to these issues. However, this would require too drastic a change to the current game, which we deemed unfeasible.

Heart Attack had a demo available and participated in the Steam Next Fest. Nevertheless, the number of wishlists and followers has been very low. Halfway through our planned marketing period, we have only reached about 10% of our target.

- Wishlists: 815
- Followers: 63

It is deeply regrettable that we cannot complete the development of this game. The original game concept was too complex and ambitious relative to our capabilities. We are very sorry to all the gamers who had been looking forward to this game.







안타깝게도 Heart Attack 개발을 중단하고 스팀 페이지를 내릴 예정입니다.
저희는 2명의 개발진으로 Heart Attack을 1년 6개월 동안 개발해왔습니다.
매우 많은 노력을 쏟았고 과정 하나 하나가 큰 고비들이었습니다.
개발을 중단하게 된 이유는 다음과 같이 세가지입니다.

현재 2명의 개발진은 프로그래머 1명과 3D 그래픽 모델러 1명입니다.
애니메이터가 없어 총의 장전 모션을 다른 방식으로 대체한 것을 잘 아실겁니다.
그러한 부분을 수정하기에 저희 팀은 큰 한계를 가지고 있습니다.
몹의 AI와 네트워킹을 변경해야하는데 해결하는데 어려움이 있습니다.

무엇보다도 Heart Attack의 가장 큰 문제점은 재미가 크게 느껴지지 않는다는 것입니다.
가장 문제가 되었던 부분은 플레이 방식입니다.
몹이 차량을 공격하고 유저는 차량을 보호하는 플레이는 좀비 디펜스처럼 느껴졌습니다.
이러한 부분때문에 게임에서 유저는 거의 움직이지않고 몹에게 위협을 크게 느끼지 않았습니다.
플레이어가 방어막 안에서 총을 계속 쏘는 플레이만 반복되었습니다.
이러한 부분때문에 Heart Attack을 포탑을 설치하는 디펜스 게임으로 바꾸는 것을 고려하였습니다.
하지만 너무 크게 게임이 변화되고, 현재의 게임을 전체적으로 변화시키는 것은 무리라고 판단했습니다.

Heart Attack은 데모가 올라와있고 Steam Next Fest까지 진행하였습니다.
하지만 위시리스트와 팔로워 수가 매우 적습니다.
저희가 기존에 정한 마케팅 계획에서 절반의 기간이 지났음에도 목표의 1/10도 달성하지 못했습니다.

위시리스트 : 815
팔로워 : 63

저희는 이 게임을 끝까지 개발하지 못한 것이 매우 아쉽습니다.
게임이 기획안이 저희의 능력에 비해 너무 복잡하고 컸습니다.
게임을 기대해주고 계셨던 게이머 분들에게 매우 미안합니다.

Fixed issues with some items not working as intended and good ending.

I'm excited to announce that Ouros works great on Steam Deck! I've been working hard on getting it to work seamlessly, and am very happy with how it controls. You'll be able to play on Steam Deck in 3 different ways:

1. Ouros will have multi-touch support for Steam Deck. Multi-Touch works especially well on the new Steam Deck OLED!
   
2. You'll be to use the Right Trackpad to emulate the mouse cursor (click and drag with trackpad click or R2).
   
3. You'll also be able to use the Left Joystick to emulate the mouse cursor (click and drag with the A button).

You can even combine control schemes! For example you can use the right trackpad to drag one point, and use touch to drag another.

Here's a video of multi-touch!


The UI functions with the touch, mouse cursor emulation, and dpad+buttons.

Ouros runs at a buttery smooth 90 fps on the new Steam Deck OLED model, and 60 fps on the older LCD model.

If playing on the Steam Deck, be sure to use the Official Controller Layout.


That's all for now! Be sure to wishlist Ouros if you haven't already! I can't wait it into your hands.

Best,
Michael

- Hidden changes.
- Japanese language in notes fixed.
