  Impious Demo is out!!

  Finally! After a hellish summer of hard work, the first demo build is public!I could post a massive changelog of implemented systems and bug fixes, but instead I'm going to sum up what the demo contains and highlight some of its features.Demo content:Full first level.3 playable classes.A limited set of rooms, items, NPCs, and enemies.An in-depth tutorial.Some new features:Music: The game now has a layered music system that plays different tracks depending on the game context, so you're not always hearing the same thing. The soundtrack is composed by Daniel Patrick Swain.Sound: A full set of handcrafted SFX, all synthesized and recorded specifically for the game.Modding: A raw modding tool that allows players to tweak parameters at will. It's still very W.I.P. and quite hidden, but the game has been built from the ground up with modding in mind. New characters, including the boss and the Enforcer.Feedback & Telemetry: I've made some utilities to receive direct feedback and collect some stats for balancing. All collected data is anonymous. Hopefully, this will help me make the game better!Performance fixes: The game now runs better on lower-end hardware and lower settings. I still need more hardware data before updating the official requirements, though.Reviewed texts and Spanish localization (by Rocío Solares Saínz): The game can now be played in Spanish too. I'm aiming to add more languages in the future. I'm aiming to add more languages in the future, but proper localization takes time and budget.And an infinite amount of bug fixes and balance tweaks.I hope this demo gives you a better idea of what the game is becoming, and that I can get some valuable feedback from players around the world to keep improving it.Thank you all, and I hope you like it!Cheers! Enrique

  Impious v0.1.3(4) - Performance boost!

  This patch focused on fixing a couple of performance issues that were affecting performance on lower end devices, at the same time new rooms were designed and modelled with their specific loot containers.The performances issue was quite difficult to find, but luckily they were quite easy to fix, so I could boost the performance by ≈2.5 while putting new assets,loots and rooms at the same time. Also fixed camera issues and collisions/geometry fade, and even, as a coincidence feature, you can play it like an FPS if you prefer!CHANGELOG v0.1.3 (4)- Massive performance boost, now should work fine in older devices.- New specific designed rooms (sorted by it's function in the facility). Removed generic ones. - Better camera collision and collided non wall objects fading system.- Loot container overhaul. Now loots makes more sense with the world. Even any object could be a container.- Now loot containers highlight by default, prevent missing them before moving to the next room- Several bugfixes
