So, we've got an official release date of October 8th. That's a week from tomorrow.
Things feel really good, honestly, and I think we're basically ready for 1.0. That said we're certainly not planning on just sitting on our hands until the 8th. THAT said, we're not going to be spending 100% of our time cramming more changes into Bionic all the way up till the 8th either.
(you may need to re-read that last sentence, as your previous experience with Arcen is probably diametrically opposite to that
)
So what I'd like to know from y'all is anything you think is really important to get in for 1.0.
Here's what's already on our definitely-to-do list for 1.0 in terms of what you experience in the game:
1) Integrating the rest of the music.
2) Integrating the comic.
3) Steam integration of the achievements.
And that's it
There's also more achievements I'm planning to add, but those aren't 100% certain that we'll do them (so if more of those are really important to you please say so, but also please say if there are other things _more_ important to you than more achievements; let's avoid tunnel vision
).
There's also a ton of ongoing bug-extermination work from the mantis records, but don't assume any particular issue will be addressed by 1.0! If there's one up there that's a real necessity in your view, please bring it to our attention here
And I'll be doing some more parts/stats balance discussion here in the forums and responding to what comes up there, but again don't assume that means any specific issue you may have in mind will be addressed by 1.0. Let us know here if any of that is just bonkers.
Thanks again for all the feedback and testing and encouragement through this whole process, it's really been fun!
Best,
Keith
