Bioasshard Arena V0.0.3 & FAQ
🕑 Added 2018-05-10 15:47:47 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
A new version of the Bioasshard Arena is ready for release. This time is the first patch. So it's a smaller size. To install it, you just have to open the .rar file and uncompress both files to the same exact place where you have the 0.0.2 version as stated in the Readme! file. (One of the two files in the .rar is the Readme! file so just select 'yes' when prompted to override the older 0.0.2 version Readme! one). Then execute the Patch Installer and it will auto-update the game for you.
Here are the release dates for the V 0.0.3:
- Fox Patrons - 5-10-2018 (Today!)
- Hound Patrons - 5-12-2018
- Eagles Patrons - 5-15-2018
- Pigeon Patrons - 5-19-2018
- Public Release - 5-24-2018
You can see the release dates aren't exactly as described in the tiers section. This is because it's just a small patch with a few bugfixes, a few changes and the add of an easter-egg. So we don't want to make everyone wait too much for it.
The reason for this small patch? Well basically the main reason is to see if we finally managed to fix one of the main bugs: the "exploding" Jill model. This bug should be fixed with this patch (hopefully).
With this said, the next version will be a bigger and important one. So it will take some time to have it. The work on this version will begin as soon as we start getting feedback about this patch to see if the bug is finally solved.
And now, we've seen a few question asked many times, so we decided to make a FAQ for Bioasshard for the newcomers ^^:
FAQ
-Will it feature voices?
This is a feature we'd like to have. But currently we can't afford it. If you look at the goals here in Patreon, you'll see the priorities. Hopefully, we'll be able to have voices in the future, thanks to your support!
-Will it feature Pregnancy?
Currently the Arena features inflation. This affects to the movement speed and the visibility.
-Will it feature a Corruption system?
With the Sexttack system being reworked, something along those lines will be in place. Not too deep though, meaning no story related changes based on that 'param' but game-play.
-Release dates
We cannot guarantee any release date. Because there are many factors affecting them:
1-It depends on how big the update is. It's not the same an update based on bugfixing than one based on adding new content, gameplay, mechanics, etc.
2-We have other projects in the work.
3-(This one was unexpected, right?) The PC. This one is really important in changing every plan...
-What's with the version numbers?
This one is easy: The version numbers are like this: XX.YY.ZZ
Where XX marks that the project is now fully complete. Playable from beggining to end.
YY grows whenenver a big update is made. To put it simple, an example in Bioasshard (the game, not the Arena) would be whenever a new chapter/mission is added, this number will grow in one.
ZZ grows per small update, tweaking stuff, bugfixing, etc. Mainly bugfixing. And it'll probably change to reflect how many changes were made instead of just adding +1. So if we add 5 fixes to the current 0.0.3, the number would be 0.0.8 and so on.
-The current PCs and the support
Ok, let me first remind you that the game was, is and will forever be FREE. That will not change. But that doesn't mean we don't need support. We need it a lot. Not only for Bioasshard but for all of our other projects.
This said, I must admit that we maybe mislead people to think that all we need to complete Bioasshard is just new hardware. And that's not true. Of course, new hardwares are a very important step to it but not the only one. These are our current "workstations":
This one is the where the development takes place:
- AMD FX-4100 Quad-core @3.59 GHz
- 8Gb RAM
- AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series (6738) 1024 Mb GDDR5
And this one is the other one. This one can't even install/run UE4 (let alone testing the game):
- Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 @2.40GHz
- 4Gb RAM
- nVidia GeForce GT 610
You can see why we focused so much on the PC problems. But just wanted to clarify that we need your support for much more than just that.
-The current Sexttacks are videos?
No, they are not. The current Sexttacks are all in real-time but using cinematic cameras instead of a free one to avoid at much as possible clipping problems.
-Will the game feature male protagonist too?
Yes. There will be Male and Female protagonists. One is already "spoilered" confirmed: Chris.
-Will XXX creature be added to the game?
We plan to add a lot of the RE fauna. But obviously they won't be a 1:1 copy but more like based on it and adapted to the lore of Bioasshard.
-Why do I need 3 headshots to kill an Infected?
There will be a weapon upgrade system just like in RE5. In the Arena the pistol is at its lowest level and is pretty similar to the M92F from RE5.
-Help! The knife is useless!
Actually the survival knife is not very powerful. But to inflict more damage you have to use as if it was a fire weapon, i.e. aim for critical parts. Hitting the legs is not the same as hitting the chest or the head
-Infected or Zombies?
Even when so many people are calling them zombies, they are not. They are infected. Main difference is, zombies are undead while Infected are still living beings.
-Movement is not fluid?!
One thing we wanted to mimic the most was the movement mechanics from RE5. This may cause Bioasshard to look not as fluid as other modern games, but that's the reason. Giving more fluid movement to the player would reduce difficulty to zero with those dumb enemies lol.
Improvements will be made without losing the scope but trying to make it as fun to play as possible. The RE5 spirit will remain in there.
And that's all for now.
If you have any more questions (not included on this FAQ) don't hesitate to ask us.

I was looking forward to getting pregnant.

Hey, sorry it took so long to get back to you. The camera control is what it is. It works the same as the RE5 one. If there's enough interest we maybe add a free-cam mode where you can rotate freely to take a look at Jill's charms ;D
Doctor
Just a quick question, will there be better camera control or just a free camera button? Every now and then I sorta wanted to look around or at the MC, asking for a friend ;)
