Gatewalkers News

Hey there, Gatewalkers! 😄

Today, we'd like to tell you more about the upcoming patch, 1.2.0. But first, let us remind you what we are adding in this BIG UPDATE:

• Multiple character slots
  
• Offline mode
  
• Matchmaking
  
• In-game chat
  
• Combat flow changes
  
• Character progression reset
  

Today we will focus more on the character progression reset system as well as we will discuss online and offline characters feature.

First and foremost, thank you all for your support and feedback 💜. Now let us dive into the specifics.

[h3]Character progression reset[/h3]
We know that some of you play Gatewalkers for a while and, after making some choices are not fully satisfied with the builds. Therefore we believe it would be good if you have a choice to reset your character progress points.



In order to do so, you need to go to Ursula Tragar (Librarian) and ask her to reset your progress. Please take into account that the cost is higher if you have more progress points to reset. This will allow us to scale the reset cost based on the place where you are in the storyline.



After confirming the reset, the game will log your character out (some systems need to reload to make it all possible). After it, you will not have previously unlocked progress nodes.



,and it all! You can reallocate all previously spent progress points again! We hope you will like this feature!



[h3]Characters for online and offline mode[/h3]
Based on your feedback and also to prepare the game for console ports, we think that offline mode is just a MUST-HAVE. So we have made some changes to the character creation screen, and also we are incrementing the number of CHARACTER SLOTS TO THREE:

• we have increased the number of character slots to 3 for online mode - so you can create three characters and therefore be in different places in the storyline (e.g. when you are playing with your friends)
  
  
  
  
• we have added extra three character slots for offline mode - so in total, you can have six characters. Be aware that offline characters are not stored on servers, so you can only play solo with them, but still, we know that some of you just wish to be able to play alone without an internet connection, so this makes it possible.
  

Thank you once more for reading our news feed, and remember its still work-in-progress.

Also, if you like playing Gatewalkers, please consider leaving a positive review on Steam.Have fun!

Hey there, Gatewalkers! 😄

Today, we'd like to tell you a little bit about what we've been working on recently and what you can expect in the coming weeks.

First and foremost, thank you all for your encouragement and feedback 💜 We have read everything you posted on Discord, Steam, and other social media platforms. Your insights were valuable and gave us another perspective on things. In response to your messages, we'd like to talk about the future Patch 1.2 modifications.

Note, when you read the ideas and see the screenshots, that the changes are still in the works, so a lot can change. However, we want to give you an idea of what we're working on and what you can expect! ⚔️

1. Multiple character slots
   We absolutely understand that some of you want to start the game from scratch or be able to play with your friends regardless of your solo adventure. That is why we are adding more character slots. As a result, each player will be able to create up to three characters on the server as well as three characters offline (more on that later). So you can create 6 characters in total!
   
   Below we present you the character selection carousel.
   
   
   
2. Offline mode
   We hear you guys. We realized that offline mode is very important to you, so we are working on it! How will it work? When selecting a character, you will be able to toggle between Online and Offline mode. You can create up to three characters in each of the modes you choose. It is possible to play without connecting to a server in offline mode, however you should be aware that offline characters are saved locally. As a result, you can only play these characters by yourself (it is not possible to join a party).
   
   It is worth mentioning that offline characters will be saved in STEAM CLOUD, so even if you change your computer or switch to the STEAM DECK, the character will be saved on your STEAM account (unless you disable synchronization).
   
   
3. Matchmaking
   Gatewalkers is a game that provides an enjoyable experience when played in a team. As a result, we want to add the functionality of automatic pairing of players to the party to make it easier for you to play with other people. The mechanism operates by comparing the character's number of progress points (so people with similar character development parameters are paired first). As a result, when fighting together in the game, individuals who join you should have similar strength.
   
   The system allows you to select the "Matchmaking" option in the friend invitation window. Then you choose the pairing mode (“Find players”) with other players:
   
   
   Join - Searches for open games to join others storyline
   Host - Allows other players to join your storyline
   
   
   
   Once you have selected the option that suits you, you either have to wait for new players to join your game, or you are taken to join someone else's game.
   
   
   
   
4. In-game chat
   We understand that not everyone wants to join a Discord server to communicate with friends. As a result, we are going to incorporate in-game text chat for the party players. So you should find it easier to coordinate your actions, such as when everyone is ready to embark on the expedition during crafting etc.
   
   
   
   We're also considering starting a global chat, but we haven't made a final decision yet.
   
   
5. Combat flow changes
   We realize that some of you find fighting to be a little clunky. This is a complex area, but measures will be taken to make it more fluent. In fact, we intend to add two features that will assist you while playing:
   
   • auto-attack - when you hold the main attack button, your character will continue to attack (no more neverending clicking)
     
   • skill queue - some of you may have encountered issues while casting your abilities too fast one after another (casting second spell before the first one finished). This usually results in no second spell being executed at all. Typically, in games such as MOBAs and/or aRPGs, the game remembers what you clicked in the short period of time and attempts to fluently replay the sequence of casted skills to fit your pattern. We've added this now, and we think it will significantly improve the game flow.
     

We hope the changes we are working on are making your game experience better! Let us know what you think!
