We wanted to give a news post for both patrons and non patrons alike so let's get right into it! After months of developing the new reboot we were finally able to ship out our first few alpha builds of Cyber Rift for our Owlet and Cyber Owl patrons, and they've done an incredible job giving us feedback on where we need to improve and ideas on what types of features we can add. We've tried to be pretty open in terms of what we've been working on, and right now though the focus has been primarily on our patrons for testing out builds. We still wanted to make sure people we're informed on what our team has been up to, so this public news update is devoted to the progress we've made as of late.
In terms of work towards public release we have the entire demo playable and in a solid state, but it's missing elements of polish that we are currently working on. We've already quashed a plethora of various bugs across the build as well as added small quality of life features, but we know there's a lot more things that we can do to improve it before we release to the masses. This means things such as camera movement, more hovers across the environment, and finally a huge part: music! This time around we have a brand new music artist that we're excited to work with, and we believe that with their help we'll be able to elevate Cyber Rift to new heights.
Current features we already have in the build:
-Fully reworked game built in Unity with options for different resolutions
-20 CG backgrounds
-5 Unique character sprites with different poses and facial expressions
-2 NSFW scenes
-CG gallery for NSFW scenes
-Whole new introduction and story with the characters
-Wire minigame
What we're still working on:
-More hovers!
-Soundtrack!
-Sound effects!
-New UI with Character portraits
-Cleaning minigame (which will be expanded on in first planned update)
-Improved Starmap
-Better camera movement and interactions across the game
-Unique idle stances for Everie and Fae
-SFW mode available
-Teaser for First update (this will be exclusive to patrons)
Our team still has a lot of work to do, but we're extremely proud of where we're at build wise and believe that we have something special going on with this reboot. You can play the latest alpha build now as a patron, or wait until we publicly release (most likely next month at our current rate). Stay tuned for more updates on the reboot!
