Hello! Today we’ve got a post to update you on what’s going on in the community and a little bit of information about Besiege’s development progression and coming update.
Since the release of Skin Packs we’ve seen a torrent of packs being uploaded to the workshop, here’s some that caught our eye: Lego Skin Pack http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=703309217&searchtext= Industrial Revolution Skin Pack http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=702049002&searchtext= Steam Punk Skin Pack http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=707879976&searchtext= These are only a few of the many and varied skin packs that are currently available on the Steam workshop, simply subscribe to the pack you want to use and then apply it in game! I’m sure many of you may have noticed that the Spiderling Community Forums have been down for the last week or so but they are now pack online and ready to use! http://Forum.spiderlinggames.co.uk/ If you have trouble accessing it then you should try clearing your browser history/cache/cookies!!! We decided to change the forum software that we were using in order to provide a faster and more pleasant experience for community members! Unfortunately the process of migrating the forum’s data across to the new software took longer, due to some problems we encountered during the process, than we originally intended and we are very sorry for any inconvenience caused! Unfortunately we haven’t had a chance to create a custom style for the forums yet and as such, for the time being, the forum is using a default style which is very different from the previous forum’s look. Please be aware that all links to the old forum will no longer function correctly and will need to be updated manually. Also, for security reasons we ask that, if you are a forum user, that you change your forum passwords ASAP. If you encounter any problems with the new forum software then please let me know, either through the forum or via our support email address: support@spiderlinggames.co.uk
Over the weeks since the last update we have been working hard to eliminate many of the bugs that have been slowly piling up as Besiege’s development has unfolded, therefore the next update will be a bug fixing update! Unfortunately we can’t really offer a firm release window for the next update but it’s safe to say that it will be coming soon! We’d also like to reassure you that the team members working on new levels are not involved with other aspects of development and as a result level production is not hindered by regular update content. Level production is going well and soon we will be bringing you the last few levels of the Tolbrynd island as well as some levels on the new island Valfross. We do apologize for the long delay in releasing new level content and we are aware of how frustrated some of you are at the lack of new levels content being released. We have also brought a new artist on board to help with level production but it has taken quite a while to bring him up to speed with our level design philosophy. Now that we have done this, things are moving along at a much nicer pace! I’d also like to take this opportunity to tell you that we will be announcing some of the new ‘long term’ features that we have been working on behind the scenes, in the coming weeks, so stay tuned! Cheers, Von
