We all know about Area 51
Would you believe that there is even more such places?
We just acknowledged that there is Area 86
Sources say it contains artificial intelligence research facility with
stuff that is not explainable to us!
We receive signals from it, but we have hard times figuring out how to use them.
And we don't know from what part of space it's coming from!
But we made a progress and now we can transfer your input back to the sender!
Here is some feedback on what did we discover by sending our input:
We get to control a robot.
Robot movement is very destructible and we broke many items in our path.
There is also a possibility to pick, throw & activate items while using the robot.
An unknown source that gives our robot tasks with hints on how to progress further!
That's what we did discover.
Possible that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Further discoveries are in your hands!

Area 86 Features:

Smooth physics-based gameplay
Destructible environment and items
Tasks with hints that give you more confusion
Secret places and hidden objects
Unexplainable events
Controller friendly

Development of Area 86 has slowed down a bit in March, but I'm back and pushing forward!

The release day is coming closer and closer, uhh!
Not sure if ready for release, panic!
But I have promised to deliver on April 15th and let's keep it that way! steamhappy

So what's done for the release:

Localization

Area 86 is available in 12 different languages including Latvian.
Big thanks to people who helped localize Area 86 to different languages.

Steam Features

Thanks to the Facepunch Steamwork plugin, the implementation of Steam features did not create much trouble.
Added achievements ( still adding right now ), Implemented cloud saves and tested how controllers behave ( so far so good )
Still have plans of implementing other features, but that's after release!
P.S. Achievements are localized too!

Levels

The 1st chapter is almost done!
Almost because the last 6th level is still in development. steamsad
It has missing visuals, but the functional part is 90% completed.
Considering that it should not take too much time to add the visual part, because the 6th level is at the same size as the 1st level! Fingers crossed! Game Description Image

Press

Started reaching out to media ( Youtubers, Twitch & Mixer streamers )
Not sure what to expect from this as it's my 1st experience reaching them.
But I think it's better to try than not try at all - right?
P.S.S. If you know anybody who would like to write, stream or make a video about Area 86 - let me know!

Thanks for reading and see you soon in Area 86! steamhappy
