| Gerty roadmap | 2018-11-16 | Hello, This is the public Roadmap for Gerty early access development. Please note that all dates are tentative and subject to change if (or when) we run into unforeseen issues or if we rearrange development priorities. We really hope to receive feedback from you and hope to incorporate the best suggestions into Gerty, but we also need to avoid too much feature creep. Since we are a tiny indie team, every change or new feature pushes the release date farther away. In other words, an approved change has to be either very quick to implement or incredibly good for the game overall. Below is a rough breakdown of the development focus, development |
| Small update to character aiming behaviour | 2018-10-19 | We have changed our default character aiming behaviour to be more in suit with other twin-stick shooting games. https://i.imgur.com/XHXVGwg.gif Previously while walking, our characters were facing the walking direction and only rotated to aim direction while shooting (on the right). With the new system, the character always faces the aim direction while not digging terrain (on the left). If you already got used to the previous system, we have added an option to gameplay options to use our previous system. What do you guys think? Do you prefer the new system or the old system? |
| Release date confirmed: 3rd of December | 2018-10-02 | We are very pleased to announce that Gerty early access will be publicly available 3rd of December 2018 for PC, MacOS and Linux. If your hands are already twitching for some rogue-lite action, try downloading the demo and give us feedback about the game in our Discussion page so that we can make the game even better! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvCzmsndg74 |
| Demo updated! | 2018-08-23 | We have just released a small update to the demo. Here's the changes that you may immediately notice: https://i.imgur.com/aGgOrfB.gif Fog of War visuals have been updated. Now the character's Field of View is more cone shaped and directed where the character is looking. This means you can see more clearly ahead, but things behind the character are more obscured than previously. We have added shadows to characters and monsters. This makes them pop a little more from the background and gives a more 3D appearance overall. As usual, there's also minor fixes and improvements included. - Gerty Team |
| Linux & Mac Demo available! | 2018-07-25 | Linux & Mac version of our free demo are now avaiable. Both have been tested to run, but OS specific bugs/crashes might still be present. If you encounter any problems, head over to our Bugs & Problems discussion page and let us know. - Gerty Team |
