over 9 years ago
– Mon, Nov 21, 2016 at 02:22:29 PM
This Friday, we sent another survey to you guys about the Pixelverse and the changes we made after the last patch (Update release on Friday). We still need more of you to respond to the survey in order to get a good read on how you feel about the improvements.
We've done a lot of new improvements to the Pixelverse based your feedback, and we have more in store to further improve it, but we'd LOVE for those of you who participated in the first Survey, to please update the game, and fill out a new Survey.
This new Survey is just like the previous one, but It will allow us to compare the votes before and after we did these improvements to the Pixelverse. It would be a huge help for us!
These are the additions and tweaks we did to the Pixelverse after the last Survey:
- Drastically improved Pixelverse Movement code
- Added more "Bugs" to the Pixelverse sections
- Added penalty to Pixelverse sections. If you "Die" in the Pixelverse, you'll lose a heart. - Added new "Completion" Cameras to all Pixelverse sections. You now see what you've fixed in the Game World, after completing the Pixelverse section

Digital Level Maps Going out to Backers + Feedback Time: The Pixelverse

Hi Guys!
In our last update we briefly talked abut a survey we'd like you guys (Who played Rad Rodgers so far) to fill out. Unfortunately the link led to a wrong document.
So, let's try again!
IT'S FEEDBACK TIME
We're going to send different surveys to you guys to get your feedback on different parts of the game such as gameplay, controls, enemies, etc.
Today we'd like to hear youR thoughts on the Pixelverse. What do you like about it? What don't you like? Are there ways you think we could improve it?
In other news, we're now sending the Digital Level Maps to Backers! These level maps include overviews of each level, and how to find secret areas. They also include all the Comic Strips we've released so far!
If you pledged to get the Digital Level Maps, check your email for a copy!
The Cover of the Level Guide!
Pledged to get the game on release? You'll get it NOW! + Soundtrack and PS4 update!

First of all, I want to apologize for the Update-Spam. We just have SO many good things to share with you guys. And today is no exception!
A few days ago we released Rad Rodgers on what we call Pre-Play. It's basically the Beta that some of you already have access to. The only difference is that everyone is now able to purchase it directly through Steam and GOG.com.
We received feedback from some of you guys about this release. The main issue was that those of you who pledged to the reward that gives you the digital version of the game, couldn't play it before release - while those of you who haven't backed the Kickstarter at all, could now just purchase the Beta access directly on Steam and GOG.
WE WANT TO FIX THIS!
So that's why we've decided to send the Pre-Play/Beta/Early Access version to EVERYONE who pledged for a copy of the game. That means that:
IF YOUR REWARD INCLUDES THE GAME, YOU CAN PLAY IT RIGHT NOW!
Here's the new trailer we released friday - Please share!
Go check your email inbox for Keys to either GOG or Steam. And remember - This will serve as your FULL copy of Rad Rodgers. It will get updated weekly until release on Dec. 1!
But please beware - You'll get access to a BETA. This means that this is Not a finished product. If you find bugs, glitches, etc. and want to help out, please follow this guide.
Once you unlock the game on Steam and GOG, please rate and leave a review!
So, you might ask, What about PS4? That's a great question! We actually already have it running and it runs pretty darn well! Unfortunately we're not in complete control over the Playstation version as we are with the PC version. On Playstation there's a specific certification process, where we send in builds to Sony for verification - Even if the game was done today, it would take 6-8 weeks before the review process ends. And even after that we might have to do additional tweaks for Sony to finally approve it.
But fear not! It IS running, and It's a blast!

Aaaand in other news, we've received more physical rewards for you guys! Last week we showed you guys the T-Shirt which some of you will receive.
Today we received the Physical copies of the Soundtrack - And they are GLORIOUS! Behold the gloriousness below!
Thanks for all the amazing support guys! Don't forget to share, review on Steam and GOG, and spread the word!
