Release Preview Bugs

Recommended Posts

Hey pack!

Things are getting serious. We decided on a launch date: Thursday, September 21st 2017. That is just four weeks from now! Until then all new versions will remain on their separate branches. On launch day they will be pushed on to the main branch. Now we need all the help we can get to make sure the release version runs like a charm, so all new pack members discovering the game on launch have a great time experiencing it for the first time ^^

 

Please note: If you just want to play and enjoy the game DON'T play this version. This version is for bug testing and feedback. Your game will automatically update itself as soon as the update runs well and is pushed to the main branch.

 

The launch will be an extremly important event for Niche and our studio. We would love to keep adding more features to the game and really hope it will sell well enough to enable us to do so. All infos about Niche’s future here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/440650/discussions/1/1368380934282493056/

 

--------------------------------------------------

 

What is new?

- Distinction between story and sandbox mode, selectable start islands in sandbox mode

- Tutorial (finally!)

- Steam achievements

- 5 available save slots

- Polishing and bug fixes

- Ui is completly reworked (It took me a while to get used to it xD)

- Localisation to French, Spanish, Chinese, Russian (a huge thanks to our translators <3)

 

The tutorial includes a few references to the intro video (which is currently in production) which are probably a but confusing.

 

--------------------------------------------------

 

How to get the update:

> right click on Niche in your library

> click on properties

> select the beta tab

> select the dropdown and choose “release preview"

> the game will update, please wait (restart Steam if the game is not updating)

> play :D

> report bugs and leave feedback here

In case you speak German, French, Spanish, Chinese or Russian, please play the game in your language and report translation issues.

 

Leydaa has very kindly compiled a comprehensive list of all our bugs! Please view to her list here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/440650/discussions/1/1471969431582730908/

before posting your bug. (Unless it's one of those one-time reported glitches, then it would be good to confirm them.)

If you are a Youtuber/Streamer:

Please inform your viewers how to access the update and let them know it is a preview version.

 

This update features a lot of new content and we had to rebuild the game quite a bit. Because of this older save files will unfortunately not be compatible with this update.

 

We are really curious to hear if the game runs well on your computers now since we hope to have fixed some of the performance issues.

 

Known issues (currently fixing):

- Some animal textures (mainly for right paws) are misplaced

- Blue bird fly around weirdly

- Title screen not fit for all screen resolutions

 

Thank you all very much for your time and support :)

 

Cheers,

Stray Fawn Studio
