You deserve to know the truth about Quadro Delta and Alexander Poysky.
You deserve to know the whats going on with Quadro Delta and Alexander Poysky. Hello, fans! I am Vitali Kirpu, the creator of Pixel Piracy and ex-CEO of the Quadro Delta, some of you probably know already, but the Quadro Delta went bankrupt, and nobody told you why. I am here to tell you why it went bankrupt and why it took over six months to tell you this. There are two reasons why Quadro Delta went bankrupt first of the reasons is that the sales of the Pixel Privateers were not what we expected. And the second reason involves a public figure Alexander Poysky selling generated CD-KEYs in secret. I will not go into the specifics here for the time being, and this is the main reason for the silence. My STEAM representative is however aware of the issue that happened. I also believe what happened to Quadro Delta partially caused STEAM to limit how many CD-KEYS can be generated. https://www.polygon.com/2017/8/18/16167462/valve-steam-keys-limiting-developers It seems that the person who Alexander Poysky worked with and probably still works with is now trying to spread the false rumors like this. ------------------ http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/11687896/d7b85cdd89a2d1f4257a822a3a1376ec634dabbd.png ------------------ I want to say that SquareZack in this instance is a catalyst for this announcement. I will be contacting Steam regarding SquareZacks false accusations. In retrospective when you will look at this post and cross-reference what I will say in the future regarding this matter you will understand what happened to Pixel Piracy and Quadro Delta in detail. If you want, you can ask Alex on Twitter what he thinks about this announcement. He will probably fight my statement, or he will block you. You, however, want to do it publicly. You as fans deserve to know at least something. Take care guys, and I see you later.
Public Test Now Live, Includes Auto-combat and U5!

Today we’re bringing you a very long awaited piece of news: The ability to preview and test the widely-requested solution to automating combat a bit more than the manual-only approach at launch. What we are rolling out here allows the user to control whether or not to activate the “Stand Your Ground” feature. How does this work? Read on to find out! When in Stand Your Ground mode, you can command specific privateers to automatically attack anything within the immediate area of that squad member. Selecting another crew member lets you set a different area, allowing you to cover more than one area with automated defense. This feature brings in a way for you to direct your attention elsewhere while combat is ongoing - all while interacting with other crew members - without sacrificing player interaction and control of combat. In situations where you need tighter control, you can toggle Stand Your Ground off, and take full manual control of your crew. When active, the field you defend will be placed again each time you click to move your crew or attack. Using this method, we are able to prevent crew members from pulling aggro on chains of enemy groups before the player wishes to engage with them. We are initially introducing this feature onto the public test branch. This will allow us to gather feedback and ensure that it is working smoothly for everyone and address the issues the community has stressed/raised to us. We hope to see plenty of players opt in and engage with this beta in order to improve the game and take it in the direction you want to see. Along with the auto-attack feature, we have made significant performance increases with the change to Unity 5 and resultant changes throughout the game, and are excited to see how those changes function outside of our testing environment. This should make a very noticeable difference to those who were seeing crashes due to being out of memory, as well as slow-downs, lag, or stuttering due to low frame rate. The team is anxious to hear from those who were seeing these issues, and hope you will let us know if this resolves those problems for you. Once these features are tested with the community, we will be making any necessary changes and then rolling them out to the main branch. We will be reading feedback as it comes in, so please be sure to let us know your thoughts. We couldn’t have made Privateers the game it is today without our community, thanks for being part of our journey! To opt into the public beta: -Go to Pixel Privateers in your Steam library, and right click on the title. -Click on Properties -Select Betas -Select the Gamma Testing/Public Test branch -The game will update to the public test build -Start game and enjoy! Please note: Saves that are used while in the test build may not be compatible with the main branch any longer. Be sure to back up any saves you use for public test, or use new ones! You can access your saves from the options menu, by clicking “Open Save Folder.” Additionally we would like to note that there is a known issue/glitch with the character screen after confirming your stat points. This will be resolved as soon as possible through a patch to the test branch. Here are the patch notes for the public test branch update today: New features: - New Defend Area feature which will toggle crew member to auto attack enemies inside a specific area. You can resize the area by holding left-mouse button on the shield icon on the area and dragging mouse right and left. You can have multiple areas active at the same time.

Optimizations: - Engine upgrade to Unity 5.6 from Unity 4.6. - Rebuilt UI for Unity 5. - Better texture handling decreasing overall memory consumption. - Numerous miscellaneous optimizations to code decreasing memory consumption and improving performance. - Space backgrounds rebuilt (improved performance on non-combat scenes). - Multiplayer code optimization: better handling of packets. - Creation and destruction of synced objects batched in network code. - Pathfinding moved to a separate thread decreasing its impact on performance. - Better handling of extreme packet loss in multiplayer. Bug Fixes: - Fixed various buggy status effects (bad serialization). - Fixed threat system failing sometimes when leaving combat. - Fixed health sync in multiplayer. - Fixed quick use icons being offset in relative UI scaling. - Vanity wings now also animate for jetpack engineers. - Fixed cases where the game tried to sync parentless status effects. - Imperium bomb dismantler no longer tries to dismantle other kinds of traps than mines (for example toxic glue). - Fixed multiplayer sync issues with dismantle ability. - Fixed issue with multiplayer color picker not working when UI scaling is set to relative. - Fixed bugs which allowed you to exploit vanity inventory for infinite inventory space. - Fixed multiplayer desync issue related to rescue prisoners mission. - Fixed request mission failing when using it at the edge of the galaxy map. - Fixed bugs with using distress signals in multiplayer. - Fixed a bug with events which close doors of the room getting stuck in closed mode in multiplayer when only one player's characters all died in the trap room. - Fixed player "ready to teleport" states being out of sync in multiplayer sometimes. - Healing chains no longer target pets (for example Trajectory Adjusting Prisms tech). - Fixed elevator shadow bugging out on short distance movements. - Fixed tractor beam effect sometimes getting stuck for clients in multiplayer games. - Fixed bug which prevented vanguards charging through doors if they were too close to the door. - Fixed selection box being the wrong size if UI wasn’t set to pixel perfect mode. - Fixed characters using grenades not being able to shoot sometimes. - Fixed a bug where you could access black market even though the market station didn't have one. - Fixed a bug where you could aggro president earlier than intended. - Friendly tumors will now teleport to owner if left behind. Known Issues: - After assigning stat points to a character multiple windows will appear simultaneously on the same screen. - Cosmetic CRISPR UI color picker is offset in some cases and the UI shows crew gear which isn’t intended. - Door buttons near stairs are sometimes out of sync.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« It’s mostly a numbers-heavy realtime party-based dungeon crawl combat extravaganza. Sci fi, to boot. You’d think the developers at Quadro Delta would come up with a more thematic title to distinguish it from their previous game, Pixel Piracy. That one wasn’t sci-fi. It was your garden variety Caribbean pirates, but in pixels. »
« After spending a dozen of hours with Pixel Privateers, I realized that its true kinsman is Cookie Clicker because they both boil down to the same idea: you repeat the same few actions ad nauseum in order to increase pointless numbers. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« What a fantastic Game! If you are looking for something that is well developed and has a team behind it that will openly talk to you about any issues you have, look no further. The comedy that is hidden within the dialogue as well as the references to so many different classics makes this game a gem even before you get to the actually game play! The seamless ability to add someone to a multiplayer game has made me go from a hesitant online player to a willing participant in the MP action this game has to offer. I really look forward to seeing the future updates and content this game will offer as the team is definitely learning from the past and making a great experience for the community at large! Having the ability to play this game in so many different ways is also excellent. You don't have to choose a "cookie-cutter" team and try it that way because "that's the way the game has to be played" the possibilities are so numerous and it is exciting to think of all the future ways I will discover to conquer the content! Do yourselves a favor and pick up this game now! »
« Excellent game! It is funny; you can choose to destroy mobs and get some loots without thinking about strategy if you want to relax, but you can also get a more challenging experience with the possibility of increasing the difficulty for better loot. You can travel through the galaxy to find stores, or new planets with new missions. You can customize every privateer with 4 slots of equipment, and stats. You can also research tech, in order to increase your damages, heal; or get new effects on the abilities and new possibilities. What I really like is the tactical mode. When you are in combat and press the space bar; the game will pause, and you can use every skill you want, attack 1 or more enemies at the same time; or dodge incoming attacks. The game was just released, so it still has some flaws, but you should buy it; it's definitely worth the 15$! »
« Hello, Pixel Privateers is an amazing games wich defenitly worth the 15$. How many of us already spend hundred if not thousand of money in AAA games with the feeling that it defenitly not worth the price?
