Hola everyone, Wisak here. First of all, thanks to everyone who has downloaded and played the Broken Alliance demo so far. We have been monitoring the feedback and we have been hard at work identifying problems, and trying to solve some of the most common issues players have had since the demo release. From now on, we want to try to make the communication with the community as open as possible. For that reason, we want to start sharing patch notes whenever we update content moving forward. These last 3 days we have been hard at work and we have made some fixes based on your feedback. We are committed to improve the game, and while some of these fixes address some of the problems, we will probably revisit some of those solutions once we have better ones. We have improved the visibility of interactable objects in the adventure map. We realized that many players were having issues seeing them and was causing confusion in how to proceed with the demo. Here you have a glimpse of how interactable objects will look like when travelling the world of Eol.
We fixed one problem with enemy units respawning in some of the combats We fixed a bug where players couldnt cross adventure map tiles which were previously blocked, like the doors and the bridge you repair We made the Town Screen closing button more obvious and moved it to the bottom of the screen We fixed a problem where units were still displaying health and stamina bars after being defeated We added a voice volume bar in the options We made the quest log and the first dialogue next button to glow to let players know they are there We lowered the volume of the sound when a player hovers resources in the puzzle screen We fixed the team colors showing all as white We added a bunch of tooltips to help players navigate and understand some of the elements and mechanics of the game. From combat information about the units, to more information about how to use the mana refinery, to how to use the spell, to several more. We fixed a problem where some texts were showing in Chinese We fixed a problem where champions would not be usable in combat if they were defeated in previous combats and healed at the Alm. We fixed a game breaking problem where the game would freeze if the player lost a fight, not allowing them to start the demo again We fixed a problem where Mandy had only 1 health point in the fight to recover the Artifact We added a gold pick up next to the Alm in the final area in case players didnt have gold, so they wouldnt have to backtrack. We updated Priors combat SFX Players will also now draw one extra move card per turn based on some of the feedback we got. We disabled the view dwelling button from the army screen since players cans see ityet. We fixed the army tooltip staying forever if you close the army screen with ESC We fixed the unit bar not showing freshly added soldiers to the army We increased the speed of the projectiles from the Siren and Puppet Master ranged attacks We fixed a problem where sometimes damage display numbers would disappear We know that there are still some issues out there that we want to address in future patches, but those will take longer due to the complexity of the systems associated with them. For example: Lack of general tooltips, like the artefact or units, or during combat to see the positive, or negative effects applied to units We know the demo ends a bit abruptly and we are working on improving that The voice lines from Yorick have lower quality than the rest No save games yet Ultrawide screen is not yet fully supported Its unclear what the AI is doing in its turn during combat, since there are no visuals provided for when they use special attacks. This can be specially confusing when they affect your units with status effects. We want to close this by saying again thanks for your feedback, we were able to achieve all of this. We want to work with all of you to make Broken Alliance the very best version of what it can be. We are a very small studio with limited resources, so any and all feedback is extremely important for us and we will do our best to handle it, while trying to maintain our vision for the project as much as possible. At the same time, some things might take a bit longer because of it, so we ask for some patience. Have fun out there and see you back in Eol!
