Cicada Status Report! [03-04-19]


Its Been a Busy Week!

Thank you everyone for all the fantastic support!

Since there has been a little break in new content, I wanted to let you all know whats been in the works! (Also, Ive been sick, bleh!)


Patch A0.9.02

Another bugfix patch is fast approaching, and will hopefully arrive in the next few days! This version contains a handful of bugfixes and a few balance improvements! If you've encountered any issues with the game, I would love to hear about them! (via comments, EmailTwitter, or the Discord Server!)


New Content!

New content is already in the works, and I hope to show off a small teaser for the next equip-able weapon soon! In the next content update I hope to include:

  • 2 new weapons
  • 2 new carts
  • 1 new arena
  • Arena Variants:  Choose from different takes on each arena that focus on certain aspects of the original!
  • Match Teams:  Partner up with other players or AI!
  • Match Timers:  Set time limits to keep matches snappy!



Expanding Platforms!

I've been working on an in-browser version of the demo, and it should be ready before too long! Also, a Steam version should be available around the end of the month! (Steam keys will be distributed to all Itch.io purchases as soon as they are available!)


Future Content!

Lots of additional content has already been thoroughly planned out, and is just waiting to be implemented! I also look forward to everyone's feedback! Let me know what you like or dislike, and just like that you are shaping the course of the game! (via comments, EmailTwitter, or the Discord Server!)


The Discord Server is now Officially Open!

Check out the Patreon!

Love the game and want to give more support? Here's a good way! For $1 a month get everything you get here, plus a special role on the Discord server, and preview builds of new content before its generally released! (As long as there is enough interest) I am always open to suggestions for other benefits, and I will likely add more of my own as time goes on!



Automaton Arena got Featured!

(At the time of writing, Youtube embedding seems to be broken, so try here!)

The Video Game Valley (Youtube, Twitter) was kind enough to feature Automaton Arena on their stream! It was a ton of fun, and you should check them out if you can! (Fixes for the bugs seen during the stream are included in A0.9.02!)


And I think that's about it! As always, I am extremely grateful to everyone who has, and continues to support this project! You all are amazing and I can't wait to bring you all the content and fun I have planned for this game! <3
