I haven't bought the game yet because I know as soon as I do I'm going to play. Is there a patch log that gets released? I would love to start playing soon but there are a few issues I've seen raised in other threads that I'm waiting to get looked at before I buy and play.. so I'd like to have something to follow. Or is there an approximate date for the next large bug/content patch that isn't a hotfix? Any input would be helpful.. I want to play and test badly.
Another good spot is the web blog: https://www.gaslampgames.com/blog/ Which details the first state of the game and the first patch that went out on Tuesday. Another update is expected at the start of next week, which will add saving and some unknowns. If your looking to bug test then now's a good time as any to jump in, but if your looking for more gameplay then I would wait a month for when Early Access is out. Hopefully by then the major bugs will be out of the way and some more features added.
I'm mainly wondering if/when the "having to tell them to make them make bread constantly" thing is fixed so I was hoping for detailed patch notes, but thank you both for the links. Anything is better than nothing! I love testing but I've got limited time now so I'm hoping to have a little bit more polished version to start testing with. Thank's again!
You may wish to wait for the Early Access release on Steam during August, it will be a bit more polished
Definitely. If you're unsure if the game is in the state that you'd enjoy -- just hold off. There are those brave souls that want endure strange crashes and awkward features to help us find the demonic bugs and figure out how to make the game shine and that's *awesome*. But if you want a more polished experience, please hang tight -- it's going to get more 'gamelike' all the time. We're trying our best to relate the state that things are in. We'll be releasing patches regularly and detailing the changes as much as we can (in the sources above, plus our newsletter, CE specific twitter feed, etc). Whenever the game is ready for *you*, we'd love to have you join the adventure. But again, if you're unsure -- just wait a while. Thanks for your interest!
Hey Bryan, We'll post news about patches in the CE announcements forum here: https://community.gaslampgames.com/forums/announcements.38/ as well as via the @clockwrkempires twitter account as well as more in-depth writeups via the Gaslamp Games dev blog as someone already mentioned.
