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 ;)

With the temperatures rising, oh great Oak Barrel, bring our cellars' coolness to Ale Abbey's ales🍻⛪ So we may grant our brewers the chilled respite they deserve!🙏 Pretty please?🥵

Anyone else having trouble with the Bard visiting their monasteries?🤔 We keep waiting for his "Toss an Ale to your Brewer," he keeps drinking our ales instead...🍻⛪

As our early access release approaches fast, the time has come to release our first Demo beta. For the very first time we make accessible to public the Campaign and Arcade mode...

We're reworking the guidance/notification system for the player action based on testers feedback, we hope you guys will like it!

Ale Abbey's Fermentines got the right idea...🍻⛪ What's the point of brewing it if you ain't enjoying it!?😉

Just because Ale Abbey recently got a major update, don't mean we can't work on the next one!🍻⛪ And that means new trophies🏆 ... and adding new trophies also means facing new challenges😉

What's in the flask?

Sketching some new styled promo assets, what do you guys think?

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!!🤓
