Closed Beta: 71 Patches Later! (Patch 1.1.33)
Hey all! So it occurred to me over the weekend that I haven’t updated the Steam Community page in sometime. My previous post eluded to the fact that I’ll be weekly patching. However, that was a lie, as it very quickly turned into daily builds (sometimes multiple a day!).
With 97% of the users in Closed Beta currently in the Discord channel, it felt a little like double handling to be posting patch notes every day to Steam. Since my last post on Steam, I have posted exactly 71 updates to the game - some were quick hotfixes for silly mistakes, some major system overhauls, some included new content, and some were a little of all 3!
The bug and feedback reporting systems on Discord have been working really well, and it provides me a checklist to crunch through all day. So far, over 190 !bug and !feedback reports have been resolved!
In the near future I’ll be cycling back to lengthier build cycles, probably looking at every couple of days - so I should be able to start double handling patch notes and posting reports on both sides of the community (Discord and Steam).
Preparations are underway for the new class - cards are currently being tested by overall theme and mechanics are pretty much locked down. Some new UI work is going in to help make things look super smooth, and the updated framerate to support 144hz has been well received! Overall, there's been so much testing it’s been amazing to see, and the feedback keeps making the game better. Here's what the data currently looks like!
Still no final word on Early Access, although my goal still stands as sometime in the next few months! Once the 3rd class is set up and tested, I’ll start gearing things up for something more public!
Thanks all!
Josh
