Demigod Beta 1B Change Log

Time for a new map!

November 5, 2008 4:32:27 PM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

Demigod pre-order customers can expect the release of Beta 1B on Thursday, November 6, 2008.   Barring something totally unexpected, this will be the last update released for Beta 1 - it's on to a higher number after this. This build contains a number of changes (outlined below) and will be buggy.  When giving us feedback, please follow the same guidelines as were set for the initial beta by giving us as much detail as possible - one bug per post.  Also, if you have previously reported a bug, please go back to see if this build fixes it and let us know one way or the other.

This version will appear in Impulse as 0.53.

Change Log Highlights:

  • New Map - Atlantis.  The Waterfall map has been removed in this build.
  • Destructible Towers - Archer Towers and Towers of Light now crumble when destroyed.
  • New Citadel FX
  • Updated Skill Trees for the demigods (not yet final).
  • Improved selection system (not yet final).
  • Improved creep movement (not yet final).
  • Enhanced tooltips (not yet final).
  • New selection indicators.
  • AI improvements.
  • Lots of bug fixes and more!

Please note that Regulus has been removed from this build of the game also. He's getting some more TLC and will return in a future update.

Thank you for all your support!

Thanks Yarlen

 

Is Regulus being replaced with another DG?

Looking forward to all the changes.  Especially like that towers crumble, a little bit of prettiness can go a long way to wow people.

Seems like we are going into some serious testing this round. Removing the most played(playable) map and replacing it with a totaly new one, aswell as removing the most playable hero makes for some intense testing. Cant wait to see Atlantis though, I cant say Ive seen any map on screenshot that would live up to the Atlantis name so I take it its a quite new map.


Also, do we still get a general for this push?

And how about new items?

 

P.S. Im leaving for a Lightning Bolt concert in Stockholm tomorrow and wont be back until moday

Have fun for me will ya.

Do individuals who pre-ordered after Beta 1 launched get access to 1B or do we have to wait for Beta 2?

It is the "underwater map that has been making the rounds in all the new previews.  Very pretty map with blues and greens everywhere.

Unfortunately, it sounds like (from irc) that we will NOT get a general.  Although before today that was said to be included, so we'll have to wait and see.

Beta 2 will be this year and Regulus is taking a short vacation to have his wings fluffed.

Oh Goody, I assume we'll be seeing Oak in this next build? I can only assume the build I saw being played on Gamespy is the same we'll be getting soon - if so, looking forward to it. Oak looks like fun.

I would love to see Oak or anyone before Beta 2 but I dont think they'll include a General. I'd kill for one, but I don't see one coming this time.

(If I'm wrong, I'll be teh happiest Oak in the world.)

I think they said no new general in irc chat.

No update on Beta 2, as you clearly recall it was due sometime in November.

I can't really specify details on Beta 2 yet, but Beta 1B is now available via Impulse.
