Tech-Demo Release v0.0.9.8 - Changelog

    • Tech-Demo Release v0.0.9.8 - Changelog

      In this update we have further optimized the AI and fixed some bugs that had been reported.
      We’ve also included a new mission with over an hour of pure gameplay.





      At the moment we are primarily working on the new savegame system, the AI, user interface and more reported bugs. Some of the quest steps have also been revised and a German translation has been added.

      The new map is currently being tested concerning the AI and is adjusted accordingly.

      Regarding the further steps and the Early Access version: if everything works as planned, we will release the new map with the next update. Then, together with you, we will check how good everything works together. More improvements, adjustments and features will be combined in a new version. Following this, we will release that version on Steam.

      Further improvements, changes and fixes for bugs you have reported can be found in the changelog as always.

      We hope you have fun testing!

    • Did the new season 1 mission, good introduction.
      But I found some things that got me concerned.

      One of the things is ploughing.

      If I remember correctly, ploughing before had the tractor more sort of stuck in the furrow. Which for me is more true to reality.
      Now it just seem to wander off from the furrow like there never was one.
      Here I have to say you made something good. Which way the plough yanks the tractor.

      But please, try and make it so, that the tractor wants to follow the furrow more. Not that it will glue to the furrow but enough so it doesn't wander off as easily.

      AI is still doing funky stuff when you start with your straight drag? (what's the english word used? going back and forth in straight lines instead of going around the headland)

      Also: Try standing still in a field and rapdily and repeatedly tap W.
