Alpha 1.2 is much closer than you think!

2 min reading

Good afternoon

Dear readers! Alpha 1.2 is in active development. You may ask, where is Alpha 1.1? And it has already been released and is available in the browser at thislink. There aren't enough changes to warrant a new blog post. Among the interesting things is support for Android (early stage, still in test mode)

What is important to know

Our team strives to show you, the players, a product that is enjoyable to play. Developing Loxa RPG at the pace we are currently working and with the tools we use, it is extremely difficult for us to refer to old code entries, which slows down development. Since this is our first serious project, we have to correct our past mistakes, return to the latest tasks and see such a picture that the new mechanics broke after fixing the old bug. Thus, the project is iterated between versions for a very long time, and we at the company have adopted the main rule for iteration of the entire product:

Each version is marked in the format X.X, where the first value is a global update (be it a new character or a new location), and the second value is the addition of features that do not affect gameplay or are testing. There are also iterations like X.X_xx, where the third argument is builds with bug fixes.

What's new in Alpha 1.2

Alpha 1.2 will bring many fixes and test features to the game, such as a new map. We really hope that we will be able to publish the update on time.

What? New map?!

Yes, for the first level we are developing a new map and releasing iteration 1.2 to test the intelligence of enemies and optimize on weak devices. The release date is still unknown, but development is actively underway. We do not guarantee that this particular version of the map (namely the frame) will remain with us until the end, since there is still a lot to test.
