The first item on our roadmap is pet-the-bird.With some luck, that'll go live here in the next few days.Īs far as next development priorities go:
#SKATEBIRD UPDATE PATCH#
Yay!įor anyone reading this for console news: Xbox and the Win10 Store version are all patched up to current, and we submitted the Nintendo patch last week. The big one you probably care about: Steam cards are live! So those will be dropping, or maybe you got a bunch in your inventory when you first logged in, whatever. Version 1.5 (small point release) January 13, 2022 It's a fringe function that we didn't explain anywhere, due to the platform limitations and poor Unity loading performance. It uses Unity engine functionality that links into some kind of browser back-end for external asset loading. Please be aware that if you put a lot of files in here, it can make the game load VERY SLOWLY, due to the load method being pretty inefficient. Please note that it'll always have at least one track of built-in not-OGG/WAV music, even if you disable everything (you'll see why), so just leave at least one track enabled to control that. txt in there called "put your ogg or wav music for SkateBIRD here.txt" if you just want to search it, which contains basic instructions. WAV files into steamapps/common/SkateBIRD/SkateBIRD_Data/StreamingAssets.

But, if anyone gets it working on there despite, let me know! If you're using the Windows Store build, it protects the folder, so I THINK you can't do this. It's a bit weird, and will only work on the Steam/Itch builds. Fixes the ability to play OGG/WAV files, after a review pointed out that wasn't working (thanks Melchiah!) Then, hooray, new level! The OST has FLAC January 28, 2022 Then the lengthy process where we test, refine, localize all text, test on consoles, and so on.

I just need to figure out one more bird-addition to shiny up one tiny corner of it, then I start implementing the missions and story and all that.
#SKATEBIRD UPDATE UPDATE#
This update cycle also ran straight into DICE and GDC, and we collectively lost at least 2 weeks to work and travel and talk prep surrounding all of that.

It's fun!Īnyhoo, it ended up being one of our largest levels, so development on it's just taking a bit longer. Then the birds start bringing in their own stuff to improve it, and so on. There's also some neat skating under it, which feels like a park built under a big ol' overpass: It's a Playground! Big ol' modern plastic-based playground jungle gym sort of thing. See? New level! Or at least in-progress new level: Just wanted to drop an update so folks knew what was in-progress.
