Wormhole City Free, Epilogue News, Steam Cloud UpdateAug 23, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsExcited to announce that Wormhole City will be available for free as development nears its conclusion. I hope this game brought you some enjoyment and conveys some merit to the feedback and iterations made throughout the years. From early access to post-release, your help made this experience possible. Your compassion and encouragement carried this dream far past a point that was ever imagined. If you purchased this game, please e-mail [email protected] if you would like to be featured in the closing credits for future updates and projects. Thank you everyone for your support. Currently, plans for expansion content must be delayed until further notice. A lot of work and progress has been made on new levels for 'Wormhole City Epilogue', but an official release date cannot be determined with confidence. The aspiration is to release levels with an episodic approach as Wormhole City continues on as a passion project. Given the overall performance and reception to this game, I hope this remorseful decision is understandable. Thank you everyone for giving more players the opportunity to amuse themselves with this digital diversion, thank you for playing it, and I hope to bring you better news again soon. Until then, Steam Cloud saves should be enabled! 4.21 Update, Discount Sale, Epilogue NewsJul 20, 2019 - Community Announcementshttps://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27347623/9f583a18f879189c9a46f16e5bb430d95f57facf.png Unreal Engine Upgrade Proud to announce that Wormhole City has upgraded from UE 4.18.3 to UE4.21.2! Bug fixes, optimizations, altered visuals and more interactions have been added. I hope these improvements satisfy some of the feedback thus far while more content is planned for release. Developer Discount Sale To celebrate this milestone, Wormhole City is now 50% off for a limited time! If you like what you see and want to support expansion and future projects from this indie developer, please share this announcement on social media! Wormhole City Epilogue News Being the first game development project, Wormhole City has been a tremendous learning experience with iterations that started four years ago. It is a blessing and honor to receive your support while committing to this dream. Unfortunately, critcal and commercial reception is at a level that any future updates need to be evaluated for Wormhole City. Considerations for balancing ambitions, time, skills, personal health and a shoestring budget may force a new project altogether. The hope for this update and sale is to help create Wormhole City Epilogue, a free expansion that uses third person gameplay, this year. Regretfully, due to personal and financial straits, the size and guarantee of this expansion may diminish without your help! Thank you all for your time and support throughout the years. Stay tuned for more news and hope you all have a great weekend. Thank you.

New content is being prepared for 2019 and I hope it shows improvements appropriate to your feedback. In the meantime, an upcoming patch will update Wormhole City from Unreal Engine version 4.18.3 to 4.21.2; along with improved optimizations and bug fixes, mouse hit under cursor is now much smoother and responsive for top down combat. This patch will also modify a few visual and gameplay aspects and is scheduled to be released very soon! Wormhole City Epilogue Expansion https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27347623/e52e18069f2ffa86769b1df4c328f4412917b468.jpg Wormhole City Epilogue takes place years into the future with a full third person experience and new levels of mecha-pilot combat. Investigate destructive ruins, interact with opposing forces and experience the bittersweet conclusion to this scifi episode! While mecha combat keeps familiar run-and-gun features, on foot pilot levels will be slower paced with over-the-shoulder shooting and new environments to explore. The pilot interface uses a non-traditional hud displayed by your character to show health, munitions, and upgrades along with advice for your missions. There is still a lot of work to be done, so expect this expansion to release by October at the earliest with our engine upgrade patch coming before that! Thank you all for supporting this game and I hope you have a healthy and prosperous 2019. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27347623/dc00c48f7a4b35c1cd2fe545075d37abcf7d1a31.png https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27347623/c9331d318ee1d921dec2c8570ca62bb5504c3a1d.png https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27347623/6b160aaf32d05e1f15041c817ae204f8f36cd786.png https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27347623/6622852c240336d6fb57eefa03c83e93b6769ea1.png https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzCMK9gRgPQ&feature=youtu.be Thank you for your time and patience.

Thank you all for the incredible patience and support throughout our years of learning and development. We're excited to announce that Wormhole City is now officially released! It's been a rocky three years while hoping our work can merit the compassion you have given us, but we believe this entry is a solid foundation with room for more gameplay and stories in the future! What happens now? We'll keep patching existing content while long term plans focus on new mech-environment levels taking place after Wormhole City. These levels will have third person gameplay as enemies and allies gain more complexity in ground and air battles. We hope to keep adding quality of life improvements to our gameplay options and menu systems to allow players more control of how combat feels.

I hope to reciprocate all of the passion that has been given to this project by the amazing people who send their feedback as tough decisions will need to be made this year. To preface and help understand the decision-making needed to be made, Zenrok Studios, when it comes to the development of Wormhole City, is a one-man effort that utilizes assets from different degrees of licenses to help lower production costs in making games. The aim of this approach, along with the release on Steam Early Access, was to gauge the interest players might have for making Wormhole City a full-time project. Unfortunately this plan and our game's performance resulted in alarming results while life's obligations has strained development time. The responsibility of Wormhole City's delivery in its ambitions were met by shortcomings that were not prepared for this first entry into the video game medium. With these circumstances in mind, the current plan is to iterate, add, and complete as much as possible and officially release Wormhole City in December 2018. Content and support is planned to continue after release until personal standards feels achieved. The pace of these plans and updates will hopefully show progress and programming improvements within the contents of Wormhole City as this update releases this year. https://youtu.be/fL-Po-OukKs Changes General Optimizations Proud to say individual acts now fully incorporate level streaming. This should substantially decrease load times as alternatives seem to take longer. Extensive coding and levels changes have been made to help this effort as more menu option essentials are put in place. Initial levels in the game now include more audio-visual cues and interactions, Improved user interface and HUD to Act 1 will show more events to encounter in each level. Levels had been expanded on to help give more clues into the story and the main character's conflicts. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27347623/e7c6c6cc7211d52a34e746a1f243b62be2e6ab90.png Desert Hovercraft vehicle changed Replaced previous vehicle in this level with a hover bike with improved controls and collision detection for current and any future driving segments. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27347623/e9e380e17e4054e07e998e1c984016d40d7bd318.png Air/Space vehicle replaced with mech flying There were many critiques with this flight level and to hopefully alleviate the aggravation players experienced, the space vehicle in this section has been replaced with flying mech gameplay, you are now able to fly or run using your mech with controls that should feel better than before. The space vehicle may return. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net...Update 1.01.13, Updated Engine, Act 2 News and Dev NotesDec 14, 2017 - Community AnnouncementsHi everyone!

The aiming mechanics for pilot and robot gameplay has been changed to give you multi-directional range of attack from different heighths using your mouse cursor. This top-down style of aiming and movement will only activate with certain equipment and key presses. The second feature arriving soon is the minimap to help players navigate levels, investigate distress signals and other points of interest. Unless you come across certain information during a level, the minimap may not show all the obstacles coming your way or the location of helpful equipment and allies in obscure locations. Other top-down staples have been implemented such as walls that fade when blocking the player's view of the character, improved enemy AI with more variety in behaviors, NPC companions, new skills, environments, puzzles, combat scenarios and overall number of interactive objects will continue to be added to current and future content for Wormhole City. http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27347623/08cfd888c7a2993450da831c0a3607d0a564fd9e.png http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27347623/7239b58e44b95e1cee15002332732a83df73f440.png Patch Notes Preview: We plan to release a patch for Wormhole City before June is over to address optimization issues and to begin adding more content.
