Besides the projects we also had some other insights this month. On January 17th we released our annual summary of the past year and an outlook of the future. Okay, annual might be too much as we did it the first time now. But we will make it an annual thing now. If you missed it, check out Past and future 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And the German games blog Gamerrepublic wrote an article about us and our way from being Gothic modders to becoming indie devs. You can read about it in our blog bost From modding to indie devs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This month’s maintenance update to Elemental War 1.4.0<\/a> was released around a week ago. We fixed some more bugs, mostly minor stuff and some usability\/optical issues like controller navigiation not working properly under certain circumstances, not completely refreshing all UI elements when restarting the game and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As requested by some of our players we also added the an automatic camera rotation so when you start a map, the entrance portal is always in the upper area of the screen and so directly visible. In case the map has multiple entrance portals at least one has to be on top. This should make it easier to not get confused directly on game start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We’re also still improving performance with every update. CPU performance though is almost at the end now. We will try to improve GPU performance as well now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another good news is that we ported all code to Xbox One and Universal Windows Platform (UWP) now. The second one is for the Microsoft Store. We had some trouble setting up the test environment so everything took longer than expected, but we will start testing UWP now and Xbox One soon as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And another good news: Elemental War also got approved for development for PlayStation 4. We will start to set up everything the next week and then work on that while testing and fixing UWP and Xbox One.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read more about Elemental War<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nElemental War<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
