During last month (september) we were fully dedicated to fixing all different sorts of issues, bugs and requests we received from all the incredible people who helped us playtest our alpha (act 1)! Here are some of the many changes we’ve implemented this month:
- Main Menu UI/UX Improvements: We hope that our latest changes will make it easier to handle save files and setting up your game. (There are still areas in the Main menu we are planning to improve/change)
- Dropdown option list for items in inventory: With these new options you can do standard actions such as drop, equip etc, but also mark items as “trash” or “favorite” to easier manage your inventory and sell the items you are not interested in keeping.
- Added a simple “Respec store”: If you’re not happy with your character upgrade choices, you can reset your character and place your points into new skill specializations for a cost. The cost, how much you can reset etc are still up for debate as this is in an early stage and not tested enough yet!
- Added possibility to choose dialogue answers with keyboard numbers (1,2,3,4)
- Updated Item compare function: So now all relevant stats are shown on both items always (Example: If you equip a armor with money picking +10% it will now tell you will lose 10% money picking when switching to a armor that doesn't have that effect)
- Added new VFX for charging weapons: To more clearly indicate when your weapon is fully charged to perform a stronger attack.
Charge ranged attack VFX
Charge melee attack VFX
Inventory dropdown options
Now we are going to focus on adding and fixing more content such as new areas, quests and items in preparation for the next playtest session!
Our original plan was to participate in the October Steam Next Fest, but as we got so much important feedback, we decided to wait until the next edition to be able to deliver an even better demo experience!
With this, we can also inform you that the game will not be released in 2023 but sometime in 2024. Hope you don’t mind waiting for a bit longer… If you’re itching to try it out earlier, join our playtest group to get access to alpha & beta testing!
