Afterparty Tech Demo 3.2.6 release!
New Afterparty 3.2.6, game launcher, and website are live!
A bunch of new things are dropping today.
Afterparty now has its own website: https://afterpartygame.com/.
On the site you'll find a link to the new game launcher, which is how I'll deliver updates going forward. The launcher is a central hub where you can see progress updates, jump to the game's folders, and manage settings. Most importantly: new updates no longer require re-downloading all game files.
Best parts about the new launcher:
New builds show up immediately and install in one click.
Updates are delta-only, not full size, so they're much faster for me to ship and for you to install
Shows news and milestone status.
Supports multiple release channels (Preview vs Stable)
On that note, patrons/backers get future updates on the Preview channel ahead of everyone else, who receive them on the Stable channel. I’ll still make Patreon and Discord posts for all major updates.
I have milestones better planned out and more visible. You can see a high-level plan on the Roadmap page, which is also the new home of my day-to-day work board (replacing ClickUp), available to patrons who want a more detailed view into what I'm working on.
Keep the feedback coming, please. The website and launcher are both brand new, and while I've spent the last few days testing them extensively on Windows 10 and 11, there's no way for me to cover every scenario on every piece of hardware. If you hit issues, please be patient and post them in our bug-fixing channel on Discord so I can address them.
v3.2.6 Patch Notes can be found on the new Changelog page :)
I'm really excited to hear your feedback on the website, the launcher, and the new release. Thank you again to all my backers for making it possible to keep building and sharing this game for free, for everyone.
