Greetings mercenaries! It's been far too long since our previous post, so it's high time we gave everyone an update.
Content: Complete!
For those who've been waiting, Gerty is finally fully playable from start to finish! World 2 and the Final Boss are ready to challenge you, but are you a bad enough dude to beat them? While you're at it, tell us what you think over at the Discussions or leave a review on the Store page.
10% Price cut (live soon)
We've permanently cut the price of Gerty from 14,99 to 13,49 (similar price cut across all currencies). If you still haven't bought the game, there's no better time than now.
Lost data
You might've come across some mysterious Artifacts during your playthroughs. They're now called Data Fragments and... well, let's say they're not useless anymore ;)
Full release?
While the game is now fully playable, there are still some additions and improvements we still wish to make before we call the game 100% done and there's bound to be some bugs left to hunt. We will remain in Early Access for some time longer, but you should expect a full release by the end of the year.
Apologies
Lastly, our apologies for everyone. In our roadmap we had originally promised World 2 as fully playable by the end of June. Due to outside forces we couldn't work on Gerty for a period of time in the summer, hence the delay. We also didn't want to make new promises before things were 100% certain. Better late than never though!
More for less
In summary: There is now more Gerty for you to play for a lower price. Get your copy today and remember to comment over at the Discussions or leave a review. Stay tuned - Gerty Team

Spreading the word:
If you are a streamer, you can reach out to us on Keymailer. We try to focus on streamers that can get over 50 views per video and cover indie games. If you are a gamer and like what Gerty offers, we would appreciate if you told your friends about the game.
Feedback, bugs, and ideas:
If you have any feedback you want to share with us or other Gerty players, please head to our Steam Discussons page. We actively read the feedback and try to participate in the discussions if we have time left over from developing new features to the game.
Hello, This is the public Roadmap for Gerty early access development. Please note that all dates are tentative and subject to change if (or when) we run into unforeseen issues or if we rearrange development priorities. We really hope to receive feedback from you and hope to incorporate the best suggestions into Gerty, but we also need to avoid too much feature creep. Since we are a tiny indie team, every change or new feature pushes the release date farther away. In other words, an approved change has to be either very quick to implement or incredibly good for the game overall. Below is a rough breakdown of the development focus, development tasks, and target deliverables for each quarter of 2019. We will be first focusing on getting the second world playable, so that the intended 1 hour long runs would be possible. When the second world is complete we can move to balancing items, monsters, and perks to cover the whole game arc. When we get the second world playable, we will first put it into beta branch to iron out the bugs and most glaring balance issues. So if you are eager to help development and give feedback about the second world, follow the update news when it becomes available in beta branch. After the first round of balancing, we will move it to default branch. Hopefully we are at this stage at the end of June 2019. After the whole game arc is complete and released in the default branch, we have plans to support and further develop Gerty depending on feedback and popularity of the game. To summarise: Jan - Mar 2019 Focus: Making basic stages of World 2 playable. Deliverables: World 2 playable up to the Commander stage (stage 4) in beta branch. April - June 2019 Focus: World 2 fully playable in beta branch first. After balancing, move completely playable game to default branch. Deliverables: Complete game playable in default branch. July - Sep 2019 Focus: Polishing the game and making final adjustments to game balance. Deliverables: Incredible Gerty awesomeness!
We have changed our default character aiming behaviour to be more in suit with other twin-stick shooting games.
Previously while walking, our characters were facing the walking direction and only rotated to aim direction while shooting (on the right). With the new system, the character always faces the aim direction while not digging terrain (on the left).
If you already got used to the previous system, we have added an option to gameplay options to use our previous system.
What do you guys think? Do you prefer the new system or the old system?
We are very pleased to announce that Gerty early access will be publicly available 3rd of December 2018 for PC, MacOS and Linux. If your hands are already twitching for some rogue-lite action, try downloading the demo and give us feedback about the game in our Discussion page so that we can make the game even better! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvCzmsndg74
We have just released a small update to the demo. Here's the changes that you may immediately notice:
- Fog of War visuals have been updated. Now the character's Field of View is more cone shaped and directed where the character is looking. This means you can see more clearly ahead, but things behind the character are more obscured than previously.
- We have added shadows to characters and monsters. This makes them pop a little more from the background and gives a more 3D appearance overall.
Linux & Mac version of our free demo are now avaiable. Both have been tested to run, but OS specific bugs/crashes might still be present. If you encounter any problems, head over to our Bugs & Problems discussion page and let us know. - Gerty Team

Gerty Linux [609.15 M]
You are a nameless mercenary. A mining colony of critical importance has become under attack by a hostile alien force. Armed to the teeth and equipped with your trusty laser-diggers, you must fight your way to the depths of the planet, find the source of the alien threat and eliminate it. Will you make it out alive?
Gerty is a top-down rogue-lite twin-stick shooter with fully destructible environment. Carve your own path through replayable procedurally generated levels and create tactically advantageous situations to eliminate the alien threat in intense, tough but fair, action packed gameplay. Mine Juice crystals to upgrade your gear, discover alien structures, and eliminate the source of the alien threat in singleplayer or local co-op mode.
Features:
- Test your mettle in skill based combat and try to avoid clutches of permanent death. Adjust the level of challenge to your liking with 5 difficulty levels and advanced settings.
- Choose between 4 different characters all with unique skills and style of play. Further customize your character during your run with perks and purchasable gear.
- Explore collapsed Juice mines that are teeming with alien life and structures. Interact with abandoned infrastructure, alien runes and altars.
- Unlock new gear and characters with each tightly packed run. Ramp up the difficulty and brave the dangers once again!
If you still aren't convinced, don't listen to me, go watch the trailer, download the demo and see for yourself!
