Urban Strife - Autumn 2024 Dev Blog

Couchpotato spotted a new devblog for Urban Strife:

Autumn 2024 Dev Blog: It's been a long time coming...

The big news is here, folks! Urban Strife will be released on December 10th in Early Access!

Yes, it's been a long journey. But we came far and it was worth it. For those wandering how long this game was in development and how it looked back then, we've prepared a few before/after shots, a short comparison between our first ever public demo (2017) and the current game.

We are aware some of you expected a full release, considering how long it took us to reach this point. But we felt we had to own up to the “TBS Survival RPG” tag we have chosen to define our game. So when we had the turn-based strategy part dialed in, we looked at our RPG and felt it needed more. We added dialogue skill checks, character development and perks and we rewrote the story to give the player as much agency as possible. As soon as we had a good Strategy RPG, the survival part was crying for attention.

Thanks Couchpotato!

We added dialogue skill checks

Nice. That isn't something I was expecting.

I hope they're not biting off more than they can chew with the additional RPG elements on top of the strategy and base management layers.

Like I've read on other sites remind me in two years as this game has a very slow and troubled development. They were even late updating the Early Access info on Steam.

Looks like the publisher is better with PR then the developer.

Well well well, looks like there's lots of good work going on here. Skill checks are nice to see, I'm truly looking forward to this one!

AI portraits are quite bad i can agree with that but calling a "red flag" some answers on steam about ea pricing isn't stretching it?

 

[Couchpotato]

No one is red flagging shit.

Development is slow and they are terrible at updates.

Those are facts not opinions.

Now despite my grumbling and displeasure over Early Access, I hope the game is successful. As there aren't to many zombie base building Isometric RPGs to play.

Last one was Dead State and it was average at best.
