Basement :: Breaking news! Fresh update is live! Oh well, hi there everyone, I'm glad to tell you that we're not dead yet. It's been almost year since the previous update, oh wow. During this year we've done numerous changes to a game, and the largest amount of work was devoted to the game scenario, including the editor, translations, videos, and....

In case you missed it. Random encounters and difficulty levels for Basement are here! http://steamcommunity.com/games/basement/announcements/detail/1441567597386221054

DRM-free version of Basement is available for kickstarter backers!

We planned to give out an access to drm-free version for all backers just before full release on Steam. A few months before start of Early Access we’ve given an access to the very first version of Basement for all backers who chose pledge with closed-beta access. A few days before Early Access we’ve sent Steam keys to all other Kickstarter backers. However we didn’t think drm-free version was so important for so many people and today we’ve made it. Thank you all for your patience! An email with your login/password pair and a link to download drm-free builds should already be in your inbox.

Hello dealers, there were no news for ages, but now it's time to shed some light on what we've been doing for so long. It's not yet an update, but a special version with full controller support. To get this version you’ll need to do the following:

- Open Steam
- Open your Games Library
- Right click on Basement game
- Select Properties
- Select BETAS tab
- Select "Inception" beta from dropdown
- Wait for game to update (or install if it’s not)
- Plug in your gamepad
- Start the game
- Have fun
- Post feedback on our special Gamepad Feedback forums

This is it. Cheers!

If you've been following the development process on trello, you are already aware of what we've prepared for you. But for those who don't, we prepared a short description below.

With the release on Steam we've received lots of feedback, thanks for it. It helps find the most important things to do and improve. Special thanks for those, who made videos and streamed gameplay, we've watched lots of it and found plenty of issues in previous version. From now, basement is recognizable by twitch, so, if you make streams there, don't forget to mention us.

We've processed lots of feedback and found that the most requested feature was game saving. During testing period, we've managed to finish sessions in 30-45 minutes and thought there was no need in it. But we were wrong and did our best to solve that issue. For now all game progress saves automatically, so you can continue playing from the last save clicking on "continue" button on title screen. And we've added a title screen. You can notice another track there by Matt McLean, and one more during gameplay.

Next, we've added some features that'll increase variations of gameplay. For now each time you start a new game you'll get a random set of districts in the city with various layouts on start. Scientists and security has now different settings and there are a few new types of trucks. It was a bit dumb to deliver drugs only in ice vans.

The last thing, is that we've started rolling out localization mechanism. And we've added russian language as the first one to test on. Russian-speaking gamers, you may notice some issues with "long words" not fitting in UI, just let us know. What concerns other languages, we'll provide more details later.

Full changelog:

* Saves City generation
* Different characteric for characters
* New trucks
* Main menu
* New music themes
* Minor UI fixes and changes

Known issues:

* When main districts was placed on most right side of city, the game will start with "grey" screen. Just move camera anywhere else, and everything will bounce back.
* Some issues with building/removing rooms not in main district. Avoid building producing rooms and removing storages in other districts.

Thanks for your attention. The game should already been updated in Steam. Waiting for your feedback and don’t forget to vote for features on trello (https://trello.com/b/0Za3dGyq/basement).

All the best, Halfbus Team
