ABS Demo Out!

Just a quicky post here since I’m absolutely shattered!  Have re-released Chapter One Demo (v1.7.1 – ABS) with the new ABS features as mentioned in a previous post.  I’ve also updated the video and screenies sections, and will still be using the previous “known issues” page for the ABS demos problems and bugs, if anyone finds any bugs.

Hope you enjoy it! 😀

Known Issues with ABS Chapter One Re-release

I’ll be leaving this post to cover any and all discovered bugs and issues with the ABS Re-release  as I don’t plan on releasing and patched versions unless a severe, game breaking bug is discovered, and after going through several dry runs today, I’m fairly confident there should be none of that.  This will just be covering other issues so you can look through and see what bugs you may encounter, or add to the list if you find one.  Will also help me keep up to date on what I need to fix.  Hopefully this list will be fairly small by the time Chapter Two is out 🙂

I’ll mention if each issue has been fixed or not, but these fixes won’t be patched into the current version unless there’s something massive.  Assuming the issues remain superficial I’ll just fix them now and they’ll be sorted by the time the next Demo is released

Chapter One Demo is now out, after spending the whole day going over it with a fine-tooth to clear out as many bugs as possible and add in as much polish as I could manage before I KO’d! 😀

Chapter One includes:

• 1~2 hours of gameplay, varying on your preference for optional content and cutscenes alone; spend more time exploring for those optional cutscenes and find that optional dialogue; it’s all these tibdits of information that reveal more about the characters and the plot!
• Access to one title, a dozen and a half character costumes, and three classes – the code for the third class will be revealed at the end of the demo
• Two exciting and varied boss battles
• A kick-ass stealth level that’s really pretty basic, but fun nonetheless
• Play as Three different characters, each with a variety of optional party members to join you, including a badass Goblin War Chief
• Tasks Log covering two missions; keep up to date with them
• Some monsters will now flee from you instead of chase you
• Many more items overall and more to be found planted across the levels
• Much more random dialogue crap in the NPCs that you will never talk to! 😀

As for Chapter Two, it’ll be the same theme but the intention is to free the reigns a bit.  Chapter one has been heavily story driven with a lot of compulsory cutscenes, but chapter two will finally open up the open-world view a bit more, giving you access for a choice of quests and missions and a bit of “you time” before blasting back into the thick of the story.  Although what happens in chapter two may appear as a break from the intense War story, it’s actually more relevant than any of the characters might have guessed at first!  Dum dum dummmm!

There will also be more of Khas’ cool lighting script and a bit more focus on puzzle dungeons rather than just mob-fests, as well as a bigger, happier hub area.  So far, I’m pretty excited about it!

Finally, if there’s any bugs, discrepancies, problems or even just “it’s crap”nesses about the Chapter One demo, do let me know so I can get around to fixing it! I’ve made a separate post for Known Issues to list out such problems.  Anyhoo, hope you enjoy it 🙂
