Hi @Stacy555, we believe the most problematic point with Fractured's graphics as of today are the biomes, which, as many players like @d3Sync pointed out, all look pretty similar.

This is due to an overall lack of unique "decorative" art assets for each biome (and the average quality of the existing ones), but also to the lack of unique lighting and post-processing. The latter is going to be improved before the next test, but the former will have to wait until we hire a dedicated environment artist.

Adding to the above, animations are also very poor, and we know that. We don't have a dedicated animator in the team - our art director has been taking care of that so far. You can consider all the current player character animations as placeholders - even the walking animations eheh.

All the above being said, you can't really compare Fractured graphics-wise to AA/AAA games like Ashes of Creation or New World from Amazon, whose owner earns in 3 minutes (literally) the total cost of the development of Fractured so far We are an 8-people indie studio, and while the team's hopefully going to grow and graphics are surely going to improve before full release, they will never compete with AAA titles - nor it's our interest for them to

@Shivashanti said in New Alpha Price & City Sale:

Great way to get more people in, but perhaps state on the store site that 'play now' only is true if the testphases are up and running (maybe with a * directing to the upper text to make it more clear that it is no instant play if you purchase it out of the test phase)

Good idea, done

@Hathos said in Alpha 2 - Test 3 Surveys:

I didn't play through G.Round, but am I correct in understanding that making a G.Round account and leaving a review would help out development? The more funding you guys get, the better.

Well, I guess it's correct! You should specify in the comment box at the bottom that you didn't play through G.Round though

@Logain said in Alpha 2 - Test 3 Surveys:

Wouldn't it have been possible to directly link back to a GRound survey after leaving the game with a GRound key? A feature like that might drastically increase the ratio for feedback in the future.

One's not really expect to leave a review at the end of the first game session We could have had a button in the game though - too late eheh. If needed, I'll send a personal email to all players who used a G.Round key - that should do it

Hey everyone!

The G.Round and the Alpha 2 - Test 3 feedback surveys are ready. Fill them, earn Foundation Points, and let your voice be heard!
