Hey there, Ben here,
As you might have heard we are currently selling Revita Kid plushies! But that campaign is running out in pretty much 5-6 days, at which point you won't be able to buy them anymore!!
So if you want a Revita Kid plush of your own or know someone who would like one, buy one now before its too late! =D
https://www.makeship.com/products/lost-child-revita-kid-plushI have also been working on some cool Refocused stuff the last week or so, in perticular, a rework/improvement of the journal you have access to in game.
As you know, up until now, you could only access the journal when talking to the Librarian at the station, but that is changing!
Now you'll be able to open the Journal whenever you want to, once unlocked, simply by selecting its option in the pause menu.
But not just that, it has also been expanded with multiple new categories, like the new potions, locations, npcs and many more!
And yes, I hear you say "But isn't that gonna make completing the journal a lot more annoying??".
Well, we are also adjusting that aspect. In Refocused you'll simply need to have seen, or collected something for its entry to count as completed. Meaning no more upgrade requirements for all the relics or defeat requirements for each enemy, in order to obtain the related secrets.
We are aware that the current version has quite a "bit" of grind towards the endgame in regards to fishing and the journal and we are aiming to address both of these as well as we can, in order to make every aspect of the game as enjoyable as possible!
Additionally, for those curious, I recently posted a list of all the things that I'd like us to accomplish with the release of Refocused this fall:
- Makeing the game/early hours even more accessible (without hurting the difficulty)
- Less endgame grind
- Less friction between run progression
- A Lot More early game variety
- Tons of new content and challenges to face
Hopefully we'll be able to pull all of those things off, it is certainly quite the challenge. =)
As always if you have feedback or questions regarding the game/update, you can always leave it either in the Steam Forums or on our
Discord. I make sure to try to read as much of it as I can in order to incorporate it into Refocused's development.
Until next time o/
