I hope you're doing well and staying safe! earthish Development of Area 86 has slowed down a bit in March, but I'm back and pushing forward! The release day is coming closer and closer, uhh! Not sure if ready for release, panic! But I have promised to deliver on April 15th and let's keep it that way! steamhappy So what's done for the release:

Localization

Area 86 is available in 12 different languages including Latvian. Big thanks to people who helped localize Area 86 to different languages.
Stanislaw - Hans
Micha Tosza
Vladimir Slav
Digital Kaz Brazil
David Rey and others...

Steam Features

Thanks to the Facepunch Steamwork plugin, the implementation of Steam features did not create much trouble. Added achievements ( still adding right now ), Implemented cloud saves and tested how controllers behave ( so far so good ) Still have plans of implementing other features, but that's after release! P.S. Achievements are localized too!

Levels

The 1st chapter is almost done! Almost because the last 6th level is still in development. steamsad It has missing visuals, but the functional part is 90% completed. Considering that it should not take too much time to add the visual part, because the 6th level is at the same size as the 1st level! Fingers crossed!

Press

Started reaching out to media ( Youtubers, Twitch & Mixer streamers ) Not sure what to expect from this as it's my 1st experience reaching them. But I think it's better to try than not try at all - right? P.S.S. If you know anybody who would like to write, stream or make a video about Area 86 - let me know! Thanks for reading and see you soon in Area 86! steamhappy
