Pre-beta evolving daily


Hi guys,

As a little update, wWe’re working around the clock in order to get a pleasant beta ready for public.

As of now, we are keeping the beta access semi-closed on our Discord Channel, it’s a bit of a way to pre-test and pre-polish all we can, so that the open beta will be more about feedback than bugfinding. You’re welcome to join there if you want obviously : https://discord.gg/rWksyw6​

​This is the current list of fixes already applied. The current version is definitely playable, but still has a couple of issues we’d love to solve before calling it an open battle beta. Beside the obvious fact that we would like to get the new UIs in for the beta too.

Fixes:

  • The artillery area projectiles did always miss the Sapper enemies

  • Fixed audio system issue (beta only)

  • Balanced out the beta waves progression

  • Extended the duration of most of the cooldown abilities

  • The health bar of a selected tower didn’t update on repairing

  • The depth buffer of artillery projectiles and their trail was incorrect

  • Fixed Steam Tank spawning problem

  • Fixed Field Medic healing VFX problem (temporary deactivated the VFX)

  • Fixed the Victory and Game Over screens

  • Fixed the Hussar death issue (the 00-facing death direction never ended)

  • Waves counter updates on timer expiring

  • Fixed the issue with wave 19 that made Victory unreachable

  • Fixed cooldown abilities tooltip swap

Attached a couple of pics of a victorious run I did test yesterday. Quite some of my buildings are in ruins and burning, but the enemy has been kicked back finally ;)

A bit of summary of stuff we made in the last month

We're not turning Ale Abbey into a TCG🎴 but those brewer profiles are slowly looking the part🍻⛪ We keep adding more info about their stats, needs and whereabouts, and it keeps looking good!!🤓

Yep, we've been silent for a while, but did you guys see what we've been doing? New demo, tons of maps, campaign almost done, etc etc!

Brew. Try. Brew again🧐 With persistence and skill, our ales might make it to the podium yet, Abbess Teresa!🍻⛪

A challenge most welcome, Ale Competitions are already in the works. What are you brewing first?😉

We did open up our latest beta testing, now only as a "closed" round on our discord channel. Wanna try our Campaign, Sandbox and Arcade mode ? https://discord.gg/neWuUG8

In Ale Abbey's upcoming Foam & Fame update, you'll sometimes be called to choose sides in some of its new World Events🍻⛪

These Guild Wars will give you, even momentarily, reasons to focus on certain brewing takes!😉
