As we intend to make continuous improvements throughout future updates, we would like to take this opportunity to show you ongoing work and later plans in response to the valuable feedback we have received thus far:

• We heard your voice! game's control scheme and combat logic - As controls and movement touch upon some of the game's most basic logic, we are proceeding with caution when optimizing controls to avoid an unintended "butterfly effect" that would negatively impact other aspects of gameplay. While the update released on July 20 already included some of these optimizations, we will continue to make further progress on the control and movement user experience in Sands of Salzaar.
  

• Gamepad or controller support, We do remember this must-done target and sorry for sharing the progress so late: most of the functions have been well developed. and now the team's currently working on the UI design and controller interaction polishments. Always hope to deliver well-tuned control and game experience instead of using certain basic control template
  

• Regarding game performance - While we have attempted to improve game performance with each update over the past two years, the main priority has always been to release new content. This has resulted in some unintended issues. Our short-term focus will be to resolve game stuttering and other performance problems some players are experiencing.
  

• Regarding development plans - Our goal has always been to be as Open as possible with our development pursue. While we plan to incrementally expand the desert with fresh content, we are excited to announce a new direction for Sands of Salzaar. We will enrich the existing world and stories of Salzaar by building on and deepening their current lore.
  New weapons, gear, legacy selections, dungeons, bosses, troops, and more will be added to the characters already available.
  

New updates will bring polish and change to Sands of Salzaar, be they visual or historical, as well as new types of gameplay. Preparations are already underway! We will continue to actively seek conversations with players in our community, gather your feedback, and openly publish our plans so everyone knows what to look forward to!

Hi Travellers,

Hope you enjoy your Desert of Salzaar! Today we come with a new update V.1.0.8!

In this patch, in addition to fixing bugs, we also made some tweaks based on the weapon's attack speed and melee attack, which is the most topic the community might pay attention to. For example, in this update we slightly increased the attack speed of some heavy weapons, and the attack effect of wooden wands has been adjusted.

Compared with before, the rhythm of basic attacks when you use these weapons should be not that clunky and smoother than before and hope it can better meet some real-time positioning needs. However, It is recommended that you choose to turn off this function in the "Settings" before try the new changes. The team's looking forward to your feedback, we will make continuous adjustments based on later feedback.
