So does anything newer than 006 not have all the missions?

Hello Ondrej! I've been supporting this game through your Patreon for a few months now and it's been really interesting seeing the progress of the development! I cannot wait for the full release as I'm sure it will be quite spectacular. That being said, I'll have to end my subscription for at least a while as I'm trying to save money as a student. It's been a pleasure supporting this game and I look forward to more improvements and polishments later down the line! I wish you all the best and good luck developing this amazing unique game! Greetings from Finland!

Hey, I am interested in versions 0.12 and 0.11 but the download links are broken. Is there any other way to download it?

Crayleb !

Hi. I uploaded an unofficial mod version for 014c. It's basically a graphics optimization mod, but it also includes "Exit Game" and "Restart Map" buttons. If you want to try it, just search for my YouTube channel, with the same name as the one I use on Patreon. There, in the latest Beware video, you'll find a link to the mod in the description. Btw, in the default version, you can exit with Alt + F4.

Hello, I've been keeping an eye to this game for some years, and recently (with a new pc and some money in my pocket) I decided to join patreon and try the game myself. I love the atmosphere and the gameplay. It's great! I have a possibly dumb question. How can I exit the game?? I press P and I only see game options, but not an Exit to menu or Exit game button ¿? Thanks for your hard work Ondrej!

Hello. I am returning to this game after a couple of months, will there be a comprehensive guide on what is in each version of the game (as one of the comments above describes), or am I fine with v013St and don't have to download any other version bc it contains everything I'd wish for (full map, death, etc.)?

David_Newman

Thanks for the detailed explanation, it's all very clear now :)

Andrea Orioli

This might be a bit confusing for a newbie at first, but I'll explain. The older versions (those released before v011) were made on a much older version of Unity, and these older individual versions did indeed contain gameplay elements and missions. In fact, v007 is the one that contains the most gameplay elements in a single version. This version contains a more expanded version of the map that was also available in the demo version, but it's still not the full map, which is only available from v011. The point is, if you really want to experience most of the gameplay elements, then it's worth starting with v007. After that, there are separate editions that contain only a small part of the full map, like v008, or the two separate editions after that, like the Refinery Region (which is basically a maze-like level), or the Last Region (which will probably be the final region in the full version of the game). Unfortunately, I don't know if all of these older versions are still available (i.e. if the links still work), but if you want to test the latest graphics and physics, v013d is definitely recommended. Yes, it is indeed still a test version, because starting with v011 Ondrej completely ported the game to a newer Unity version, and there was a huge break in the game's development, because he had to re-implement or improve a lot of things. What you see in the versions after v011 already demonstrate the appearance of the final game (like the graphics, atmosphere, enemy car models, etc.). But remember that v013d is still very much a test version, there are only two enemy cars that follow you, and there is still no death in the game. In v014 (which was originally supposed to be released in December, but is delayed as usual) hopefully many old game elements will return, and maybe even a few extras.

Pixintendo

Hello, is this post still relevant? What i mean is, is v006 still the most complete in terms of gameplay features? or does v013 also includes all the current gameplay features? Yesterday i've tried both v013VR and v006VR but i can't tell which one is more feature complete, in 006 i've found multiple car chases and a bus, while 013 felt a bit emptier after the first car chase.

Andrea Orioli

The Guardian did a profile on him about 8 years ago. The article is old, but he does talk about his inspiration, though I'm sure a lot has changed since. It's linked in his twitter bio.

Konrad Fletcher

In the second paragraph of the "About" tab, he briefly mentioned where his basic motivation came from. Btw, he doesn't often respond here these days, it would be better to try the new Community -> Chats tab.

Pixintendo

Ondrej I was wondering what made you want to make this game? did you have like a dream about being chased by people in cars, or was it something else, like from a movie scene, or do you like night time driving in a creepy environment with something following? I would love to know!

BelievingEye

All in due time. He will most definitely be adding music chases into a later version, but for now, he is focusing on other things. So yeah, the wait will be painful, but when the time comes, the game will absolutely amazing, even compared to the most exciting version 007.

Holden Cross

Ondrej if your not going to add music to the car chases please add music to the car chases

Emineh

yes

GalaticFIre

Yo Buddy... Still alive?

Kei Sigsegv

It would really be nice to hear something. At least one informative post about the current phase of the development and what caused the interruption or slowdown. :)

Pixintendo

Hi, Ondrej. Any update? Would be nice to see something new or at least some info. :-)

Sven

Thanks I’ll try to fix that

Woodywaggoner

same thing happened to me with a failed PSU. Stopped happening after.

sol

you dont have enough power to your GPU.

sol

i got the wheel to work, but my screen blacks out and my fans go full speed, ima try to clean it out and apply some more thermal paste, ill update soon.

Woodywaggoner

Is there any way to get a Thrust master t128p to work with the game? I tried but I couldnt figure out how to get it to work.

Woodywaggoner

It feels impossible to lose the goons. They are always following me

SilentOutcastNY

Hey bro! Another driving game called Pacific North released and I'm trying to use it to get people to check out BEWARE! What's the progress?

Jay

Hello Ondrej, an end-of-year update would be great, if possible. Take care.

therickman

Hi Ondrej , I recently sub into your patreon and tried the most recent game and it's really fun and spooky at the same time

Aluaaa39

Hello Ondrej, I hope everything is fine! So towards the end of the year, when the weather gets colder and foggier, I think about Beware too much. :D Just thought I'd ask what are the main things currently in development? I've seen these little animations on Twitter showing birds flying up, but I assume something else is developing in the background.

Pixintendo

You should definitely make the next update have more basic features like the chase music working, and also a map of the whole world would be really awesome that would give me a lot more incentive to get in the game and explore. Not gonna stop funding, keep up the work I love the game!!!

Bryson C Greene

I have to say farewell as well i mean im going to have to go cheaper on the funding side im not going to stop because you seem to be an amazing dev and are doing an amazing job... i cant wait to see this in full release

Salty, the Salt Shaker

No worries :) You already supported with > 30$, so in any case you'll get the full game upon release and you still can access the upcoming patreon updates - just send me a private message and I'll send you the liks. O)

Ondrej Svadlena

Hey Nigel, no worries at all! You've already supported BEWARE a ton :) And yes, life got expensive here too - food & petrol almost double here... Best wishes to you, Ondrej

Ondrej Svadlena

Hi. I also stop funding you at the moment. until I see some updates again I will come back to support your work.

bjorn van de walle

Unfortunately, I will have to do the same thing. I hope you will relaese this game soon, considering how much work and time effort you have put in it. I also started following you from 2018. But joined quite late in the terms of a patreon membership. Once again, I hope everything goes well, and I hope to see this great game come out one day. Until then, goodbye.

frajerc1na XD

if you get this i need to pull out for the time being things are getting so expensive here for now but i hope the game works out ok..if things get cheaper ill re support you but for the time being i have to move out ( been its fun been around here since 2018 hope all goes well) love you man hope all goes well.

Nigel Russell

yea im sorry to do this to you i need to remove myself from patreon having money issues here things are way to expensive at the min but i hope the game works out ok ill keep and eye out im what's going but i need to revoke money on patreon sorry man. if thing get better ill re support you ok

Nigel Russell

i think he is updating them

GalaticFIre

i think he is updateing it

GalaticFIre

why there is no music in chases?

Serge Nikolaev

For some reason it won't update each month I'm stuck on v001 and I want v002 and 3 and 4 and so on.

Tanner Hepp

I used to play a lot with v007 as it has the biggest map and events before v011. Although, as I saw in some posts, Ondrej used to recommend v006 as well.

Pixintendo

what is the best version to play on with the most gameplay but still car chases

Lunaberry

V011 has no enemies and no chase music. In v012, two enemy cars are chasing you, but there is still no music.

Pixintendo

Either i'm an idiot or i just cant download things, but when i do i get no chases or music at all.

Joseph Coffey

Hello! I had an idea. for your earlier concept drawings of farm equipment and AI, maybe you could have them spewing a large effect polluting black smoke as they chase you. It could add to the intense polluted feel of the game.

jackson karam

Question - I know its hard to say as of right now. But what is your goal year to release the game?

frajerc1na XD

"Last Region" is included in v011 & v012

Ondrej Svadlena

There is not Prague? (Last Region)

Roman Vařeka

Content-wise, I'd recommend v006, v008 Preview & region 7/9. v012 has the complete map and now enemies too.

Ondrej Svadlena

Question is this current update encompass all of the other map aspects from previous updates? Or would i need to get all the parts.

Rune

I understand the current driving-related progress may feel somewhat boring but these are necessary basic building blocks. Even in my most surreal short films, I always started by building the world and overcoming animation-related technical issues before populating it with content and story. It's similar here - so yes, the rabbits and other surreal elements will be back. Right now, with the full map and basic enemy behavior done I can finally start imagining how everything will fit together and how to convey the story using additional metaphors and symbols.

Ondrej Svadlena

Weeeeeeee! :-)

Sven

What's the vision for this game. I loved the surrealistic vibe of the early demos - with the rabbits and all the crazy stuff. Where is this going? The last year's been much about driving mechanics and all that kind of stuff. I don't care about that. If i want a rally game there are plenty already. I want the surreal insane scary stuff. The disturbing drive-in movie was the reason i started supporting this project. It's been several years now. Should i be continuing my support?

Matti Jokipii

I was aiming at releasing v012 today. Almost there - it's a matter of days now :)

Ondrej Svadlena

Hi. Any update? Would bei nice.

Sven

don't know if it's possible but could you make a version that runs on chrome os, because i have a acer gaming chromebook and i would like to play on here.

jackson

any chance this get on steam (under early access?) anytime with in next year or so? thanks!

Adam Lovelace

wish we could add real cars in game (licensing i know ;( butstill love this

Adam Lovelace

It might be unusual at first because it was different in older versions, but after playing for a long time, I easily adapted to the new physics. Now when I rarely go back to older versions it's very unusual and frustrating, both the harsh sounds and the physics, so there's nothing wrong with that new engine. What I have noticed is that if I want a similar experience as in the older versions, I have to set the Steer Assist to the maximum value, 1 . Oh, and if you don't have a lot of FPS, it's worth turning on the Low Latency Mode to the ultra value, NVIDIA has this, I don't know if it exists for AMD and Intel. It will be much easier to steer, because the game reacts earlier to pressing the key.

Pixintendo

John Romaine

Hello, thank you for asking. All good here and I shouldn't have written July... I'll be posting info about what I've been working on shortly :)

Ondrej Svadlena

Hali, jó látni hogy magyar is van itt. :) A projekt szerintem nem halott, csak ha jól tudom (akkor még nem voltam patreon tag), a közelmúltban voltak magánéleti/megélhetési nehézségei, ezt visszamenőleg egy posztban láttam, de nem akarok hülyeséget mondani. Másrészt, egy hatalmas projekt ez egy embernek, és újabban pangás van, viszont ha feladta volna, akkor a 011 -es verziót nem portolta volna át újabb Unity engine -re. Mivel itt már egy 144km2 -es scene -ről van szó (valamennyire próbálgattam már az Unity -t, de csak annyit, hogy átlássam, hogy mennyire komplex lehet az ő projektje kb.), ezt brutálisan lassú lehet fejleszteni.

Pixintendo

Norbert Szabó

Hi Ondrej, how are you? How is version 012 going? Now I think that something more serious has happened, because July has long passed.

Pixintendo

Do you have an ETA on that build or is it still a way out?

Zane

Yes, they're all individual, so you can play one after another. Currently stitching everything together into one big build.

Ondrej Svadlena

You have to manage each version separately, so in a separate folder.

Pixintendo

Hello, is there some kind of installation guide I could use? I don't know if I should play 006, 007, etc. individually or if I put them together in one folder...

ShadowLegionnaire

yea i have no idea were he is at the min

Nigel Russell

Glad that IGP featured this! Needs more visibility.

Jay

seen igp play this.. you've peaked my interest sir

Typong Elameto

Yeah just joined myself looking for a download link as well

Rune

Hello, Just sucribed, can you upload the download link again ? please ? Or maybe someone have it ?

Kevin Lewis

just an update he is ok..had an email from him not to long ago. man i wish this crap would end with Ukraine its unfair.

Nigel Russell

Hey boss, links expired again

Conner Earl Williams

i did send you an email but i dont know if its the right one

Nigel Russell

with all the crap that is going on in the world i hope you are ok

Nigel Russell

Happy to see that you are okay. Hope your sense of smell returns back soon.

Sven

why does your game have to be so addictive

Nigel Russell

hopefully you'll get your smell back

Nigel Russell

nice one man

Nigel Russell

nice one

Nigel Russell

Thanks, all good now! Fully recovered, except sense of smell... Now finishing work on v011 :)

Ondrej Svadlena

hope all is well man

Nigel Russell

Can you find an alternative to Wetransfer, they are unreliable.

Jean-Luc Picard

Thank you very much

JustSomeSlugcat

Have been thinking about alternatives - possibly soon as the new updates will be > 2Gb. If you want to re-visit older versions I've refreshed links for v002, v003c, v004 and v005 :)

Ondrej Svadlena

Hi, I noticed alot of your old files tend to expire after a while, and people keep asking you to refresh the links everytime. I was wondering if you had considered putting them on Google Drive? I've seen a lot of projects made available through that and I don't think they've had any trouble with expired files. It's possible you already decided against doing that so sorry if thats the case. Also I'm not entirely sure but I think there's ways to limit who can access the files if that was the biggest problem. Main reason I ask is because I was interested to play each release one after the other to see how the development progressed, and I felt bad asking you to refresh each upload separately :|

JustSomeSlugcat

Thank you!

greg

Sorry about that. Links refreshed! :)

Ondrej Svadlena

Hey i hope you are doing well, the download links in previous posts do not seem to be working for me. It says "Sorry, this transfer has expired and is not available any more". Could you please check them? Thanks

greg

if you are talking about me ..im in the UK

Nigel Russell

you better not die on me lol

Nigel Russell

Just published a post with info - also some specific to VR :)

Ondrej Svadlena

Thanks Nigel, I ok and hope you too. Just posted some info about the upcoming v011 :)

Ondrej Svadlena

where are you ?

Goulevitch

any updates dude ? hope you are still ok man

Nigel Russell

Heya. Any updates on the progress and the vr part? :)

Hoshi82

Thanks a lot for this explanation!

therickman

You can't because currently each map is like a separate game.

Alberto Kohrs

Hello I have just joined. If I understand correctly, we can test maps separately but for the moment we cannot move from one map ( ex : v006 ) to another one within the same run ? If I misunderstood please help, thanks !

therickman

yay

Nigel Russell

do dalsi verze dej jednoduchy rezim ktery by sel nastavit, myslim to tak aby jim bylo jednodusi utect, nebo rezim ktery by ty lidi co te honi vypnul, neumim to napsat anglicky

Roman Vařeka

Sure thing, I sent you a DM with a bit of info.

Matt K

I feel honored Mathieu! Where do you teach, if you don't mind me asking?

Ondrej Svadlena

Had an old BEWARE_v000 download from 2018. Sub for one month $7 to get your recent work. Can't wait for the finished product.

Codee Cantin

Dear Sir, can you update the dead links ? Best regards.

Hebusletroll

I've been using Beware as an example of a 1 person indie team development for my video game classes. Also as a reference for its quite specific artistic direction. The initial image of headlights reflecting off wet pavement through your rear view mirror is quite striking and unique.

Matt K

Played the first versions months (years?) ago and really loved the atmosphere as well as the challenging driving (which of course contributes to the tense atmo). Then the game slipped off my radar, so I am really glad to have read about the recent update and its accompanying teaser trailer, leading me to this Patreon. The automated vehicles shown in the teaser look and sound really awesome, neat design :-) Read through all the posts and must say it's great to see you always kept at it despite various challenges! Now, I am looking forward to diving into this dark and grim world again. I just hope I can re-adapt to not having a co-driver giving me directions all the time ;-)

Mr. Metzger

i think i have more then 500 hours playing beware up to yet.

Nigel Russell

thanks man

Nigel Russell

this is really helpful, thank u! :)
