Preview: Visual building upgrades!

Dear Gauls!
Some months ago, we announced that we’re working on new features for the release of the Remaster of Asterix & Friends!
Finally, we are able to show you how the features will look like!

First, we’d like to present the “visual building upgrades”: they are unlocked when upgrading a building to certain levels!
The added details will not only make your buildings look nicer and reflect their functionality better but also highlight your progress at rebuilding your village.

Stay tuned for more previews, which will not only showcase the visual building upgrades, but also the other exciting features which will be included in the Remaster update!

If you want to find out more about the upcoming changes including bug fixes, updates of the mobile version, and more, make sure to read this post: https://www.asterix-friends.com/en/current-situation-next-updates-bug-fixing-and-new-game-content/

Current situation – next updates, bug fixing and new game content

Dear Gauls!

It has been a while since you heard some news from us, so we would like to inform you about the current state of the game and upcoming changes and fixes.

As you might know, we had to recreate the whole game with new technology (the Unity engine) because of the end of the lifetime of the Adobe Flash Player. This huge task is almost finished. The remake, already on Web (asterix-friends.com) and FB, contains all relevant features of the Flash version, but some bugs and issues remain to be solved.

In order to implement exciting new features, we also need to release the new game version on Android and iOS, so that we have the same code base on all platforms. Once the mobile versions are released, all players will be able to be in the same chat again.

Several teams are working on different aspects of the game, so you can expect the following things in the next weeks:

1. Bugs fixing: a team is dedicated to fixing the remaining bugs: refresh errors, UI improvements, and Centurion Punch as well as other bugs.

2. Mobile versions: apart from the iOS and Android versions, we are working on a version running on Amazon devices.

3. New features: in the next days we will give you a glimpse of the exciting new content in a series of posts. Your feedback from the test server has been invaluable, so once these features are ready, we will put them on the test server, so you can give us your feedback.

When will all this happen? The bug fixing is coming along, so we hope to release a new version for web and FB within the next two weeks. With the mobile builds, we still need to resolve two major issues before we can go into an open beta test, hopefully within 3 weeks.
The new features will take a little longer. We are still working on the code and graphic assets as well as getting the approvals from the licensor, so we tentatively project these for July.

Thank you again for your patience. We know that it wasn’t easy for you, but we believe that you will really enjoy the game and the new features.

Centurion Punch available!

Hello Gauls,

Centurion Punch is finally available to players of the Unity version!

Unfortunately, Centurion Punch isn’t bug-free: For example, the flight of centurions is slower and doesn’t behave as intended, while boost items also work differently, since they don’t lift the centurion, and only add more momentum. The quest “Centurion Punch Tournament” can’t be completed either. But we decided that it’s better to release this version of Centurion Punch than letting the players wait any longer.

Bugs and issues of the Unity version, including the imperfections of Centurion Punch, will be fixed as soon as possible.
More information about future updates, like an update of the mobile app, which will resolve the chat issues between all platforms, and the new features we are working on, will follow soon. Thank you for your patience!

New build version (Remaster_Minigame_V4.4)!

Dear Gauls,

we have installed a new build on the test server! This build contains bug fixes that were necessary for an update of the LIVE server (correction of an incorrect display of the market
and creating guilds/visiting guilds).
We ask you to test Centurion Punch intensively! Please inform us about errors and problems that occurred while playing!
Please use the form provided for error reports: https://forms.gle/dYHoZWsyBAAr4Hmm6
You can share your reports that include screenshots on Discord under #beta.
