I feel like writing a new blog post about recent progress on Parkside. But also does anyone have questions about the game, development, mechanics etc? I'd love to answer some questions

game dev FINALLY does proper capsule art, images etc nearly 3.5 years into development!!!!

YOU FEEL LIKE YOU MADE THE WRONG CHOICE....

WOW WOW WOW!!!

The response to this was thicc and swift. Applications are now closed, thank you so much to everyone who signed up to help make Parkside awesome!

IF YOU MISSED OUT but still want to hang out, chat, give feedback, check the OG post and join the Discord!!!

hey BETAS!!!

Do YOU want to help PARKSIDE's development and playtest a pre-release version of the game FOR FREE???

I am looking for people who can devote time to this and accurately record bugs.

Details are in the PARKSIDE Discord Server: discord.com/invite/8PUEs...

Computers can contain some wonderful things

Playing with weapon zoom and made a smooth transition for zooming out and back in after reloadi- oh no.. oh no..... oh no.......

I'm glad you enjoyed! There are a lot of aspects of the game that still aren't finished yet in the demo - the final game will have an extra layer of polish

YOU CAN STILL PLAY THE PARKSIDE DEMO RIGHT NOW!!!

Haven't tried it yet?

Kill, sneak, hack, cause chaos...
It's got unique mechanics, charm, doom & gloom...

PRIESTS ARE ALLERGIC TO FIRE

Genuinely spent hours fixing a bug with these stupid fat rail men, but now they are not breaking the whole game so that's great. KILLING HIM in celebration

HONK HONK LET ME INTO YOUR DUNGEON BITCHES

IN DYSTOPIAN CALIFORNIA it is actually a well-known occupational hazard of being a PSYCHOPATHIC MONK that if you stand under a chandelier, you run the risk of a cyber-assassin killing you with it....

Hope you have fun.

The game's gonna be out next year, I hope you have fun with all my cardboard

Hey thanks for playing, and for the shoutout, I hope you had fun!
I'm hoping for a 2026 release, I've been hard at work fixing bugs and broken shit. All the game's missions are 90-100% complete. Please watch this space!

I thought of this too, it would make sense if there were scenarios where so many explosions could occur in the game naturally, I don't think there is any level in the game with so many explosive barrels to begin with haha

I discovered the wonders of Physics.OverlapSphereNonAlloc

I could make it faster too, by putting the explosions into an Object Pool (many of the game's effects and frequently spawned objects already are done this way)

Remaining lag would then probably be caused by how objects get damaged

one HALF AN HOUR of OPTIMIZATION, please

If i can reduce the frame spikes by this much by just giving a shit for 30 minutes, then Big Gaming can Optimize the big games

I can get it smoother with more object pooling and tricks but this is a vast improvement. Optimize your shit

one HUNDRED exploding barrels, please

Gave the main menu scene a little spruce up as a treat after a day of bugfixing and polishing for Beta. sexy...

This is what you deserve

*SPOILERS*

Major milestone: I've finished making all of the main missions for PARKSIDE - most are pretty much final, some still need to be polished.

If you've been wondering just how long the game will be, have a look at the mission roster:

Don't play with nuclear bombs, kids...

The military rolled in to "keep the peace," but the people replied emphatically: WE'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY!

This is a sneak peek at one of two possible ending "chapters" in PARKSIDE, wherein Civil War engulfs the city of Abbotsford...

IN THE YEAR 2038, MILITARY TANKS HAVE DEVELOPED A NEW AND FRIGHTENING TACTIC EXPERTS ARE CALLING "BEANSTALKING"..........

We need to stop all war right now because this is only the beginning!
