Fractured Core News

[p]Hey peeps, thank you for another month of support! The development for last month and this month went smoothly. And along the way, we have made videos showcasing features and mechanics of Fractured Core. Have you watched some of them?[/p][h2]Features and Mechanics Videos[/h2][p]With the development of Fractured Core nearing the end, we thought it would be a good time to start introducing more about the game. We want more people to know about the exciting features and mechanics we developed in the game, and what's better way than to approach you guys in platforms you usually go to, such as YouTube and Twitter.[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][h3]The right skill for the right target[/h3][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][h3]Push the advantage![/h3][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][h3]Managing your skills inventory[/h3][p]Which one you're excited about?

We would like to ensure you'll get the best experience from our game and these are the steps toward that goal. Most of them are small, such as door opening and closing sounds being different than what you'd expect from the visual, inconsistent visuals in places players won't expect, and places where you might get stuck in. We're doing our best.[/p][p]We're also currently developing more on the endgame content, whether it's helping players getting stronger before the final boss fight, or enabling players to explore and modify more of their character builds.[/p][h2]What's Next?[/h2][p]Next month, we will be focusing on the endgame content development and, in the best case scenario, have it tested and polished within the same month. And of course, more testing means more bug-fixing, whether it's from the newly developed content or otherwise. We're very excited to see how you guys will play the game, and for that, we'll do our best to deliver the game.

Hey peeps, thank you for your support over these past few months. We went to the Jakarta GameFest event last month, and it was a blast! We got some constructive feedback from you and saw for ourselves how you would play the game!

[h2]April Event: Jakarta GameFest[/h2]

On the day of the event, we showcased our demo for players to play. We provided two choices for players to pick. The first one was to go to the Asgard laboratory and clean up some zombies. And the second one was to assemble an A-team from 5 playable characters and fight 3 bosses in a row.

On the zombie cleaning part, we're amazed how eager players were to explore the outside world. Fair play to them, because we unlocked the door for the curious players to go out. You tried to interact with every nook and cranny you could find, both inside and outside. Some of you are really eager to explore everything, and that's something we'd like to see. We can't wait for you to explore everything in the full game later!

On the Boss Rush side, we're glad that there are players who liked the challenge of fighting bosses 3 times in a row, and most of them won! We have 5 playable characters, which are Michael, Alice, Lucas, Maya, and Yogie.

• Maya saw the most action; every Boss Rush player picked her on every attempt.
  
• Alice was a close second, with around 87% of players picking her.
  
• Meanwhile, Yogie and Michael the MC share the third place; most players picked them alternately after they picked Maya and Alice.
  
• Lucas came last; players only picked him a few times. However, Lucas is the only one with a 100% win rate. The players who picked Lucas utilized his taunt and his tankiness correctly, just like in an MMORPG raid.
  

These 5 characters have different strengths and weaknesses, and skillful players could find a way to make them work with each other. We saw that a lot of you loved the boss rush challenge. What do you think if we put it in the full game later?

[h2]What's Next?[/h2]

For this month and the next, we'll be working through more bugs, balancing, and polishing.

We're currently doing some internal playtests. Along the way, we found small bugs that are not game-breaking. These bugs, however, show strange interactions with the game. We will take steps to fix these bugs.

We also found out that some of you see the random encounter as a hindrance as opposed to fun gameplay. We'd like to make your battle experience feel more engaging. We'll balance out some enemies' rate and HP to be more suitable, and balancing each area might be one of the trickier parts of our development progress.

Lastly, we'll also be polishing out the game, making sure inconsistencies are ironed out and all ropes tied up for better gameplay experiences.

Hey peeps! Apologies for being radio silent for a long time. We’ve been fighting a lot of bugs for the last few years, fixing some parts of the game code while simultaneously proofreading and editing the game story.

Today we bring an exciting news:

[h2]Fractured Core is officially partnering with indie.io![/h2] Wooohooo!!

For those of you who may not know, working with a game publishing platform like indie.io greatly helps indie developers focus on game development while they handle all the behind-the-scenes magic. From helping manage store pages to crafting marketing campaigns and even helping the game shine at both digital and live events, indie.io helps in all the aspects that indie developers often struggle with alone.

After a lengthy discussion between our team, we believe that partnering with indie.io will help our game reach more RPG enthusiasts, especially gamers who look out for indie gems. We’ve seen and talked with other developers who have worked with indie.io and they have said great things about them, including bringing a lot of indie games to reach more players.
[h3]You can check them out right here on indie.io page.[/h3]
