Hello gamers!

We’re here with an update to show you guys what we’ve been working on.

[h3]Regarding Early-Access[/h3]
We’ve originally planned for our game’s Early Access to start on March 2021. But truth be told, we don’t think that this is feasible due to COVID-19 making it difficult for us to work together. We’ve also decided to be a bit more greedy and add more contents from the very start of Early-Access.


We also want to tell you guys that we have read every single one of your feedback and comments about the game and are hard at work to implement changes that are needed. Early-Access isn’t something that we consider lightly and we want to make absolutely sure that the game meets the quality that you gamers are expecting. Ultimately, we’ve decided to postpone our Early-Access launch to June, we hope that we’ll be able to deliver the gaming experience we want for you all to enjoy.

So what’s changing? We’re focusing on the game’s ‘combat system’ and ‘permanent upgrades.’

[h3]Improvements to Combat[/h3]
Our game’s three main pillars of combat are ‘Weapon Upgrades,’ ‘Gears,’ and ‘Cores.’
In the demo we’ve released, users only really got to utilize Cores, which can be tedious and stale and isn’t the full gameplay experience we wanted to deliver. We’re making overall improvements and completing ‘Weapon Upgrades’ & ‘Gears’ so that progress for each run feels more exciting.

• Weapon Upgrades
  Meet Honk during your runs and trade in ‘Roses’ to get powerful upgrades for your equipped weapon of choice.
  
  
  
  Weapon upgrades are extremely powerful and versatile. Each type of upgrade has upto 5 levels, the amount of ‘Roses’ needed to upgrade greatly increases per level.
  
  
  
  
• Gears
  Gears can be acquired during your runs by unlocking chests with ‘Red Gems.’ Most gears offer you a passive perk but we’re also creating active gears that you can use in addition to your skills and weapon attacks.
  
  
  
  
• Cores
  As most of you probably already know, Cores are powerful upgrades that grant elemental powers to you and your equipped weapon. We’re adding ‘hyper cores’ which are, as it sounds, hyper-powerful moves that can devastate your foes.
  
  
  
  Using ‘hyper cores’ use up tons of energy but also dishes out tons of damage. Use these cores wisely during combat.
  
  
  
  Other than the things we’ve mentioned above, we’re also creating a permanent passive skill system, a tutorial and additional difficulty settings.
  

[h3]Focus Group Testing[/h3]
We want all these new things to make it to our Early-Access launch. To do so, we need to make sure that we’re on the right track and that these new additions are fun to play! That’s why we need YOU to participate on our focus group test to try out the game in advance. Here’s how you can participate:

• FGT Application period: 2021.03.11 ~ 2021. 04.13
  
• How to join FGT: Apply for Steam Playtest on Blade Assault’s Steam page
  
• FGT period: 2021.04.14 ~ 2021.04.21

Hello gamers!


We wanted to write you guys a short announcement here to briefly talk about what’s been going on with us recently.

[h3][/h3]
We recently uploaded an UPDATED version of our demo build on our Steam page. We fixed many bugs (including the ones you guys reported) and made some gameplay changes/improvements as well. If you haven’t already checked out our newest build, please consider doing so! Plus, it’d be great if you could share your feedback with us. We also reached our Kickstarter campaign goal! We still have around 3 days left, so if you were planning to back our project, now’s the time! Here’s the link: www.kickstarter.com/projects/bladeassault/blade-assault. A special thank you to each and every one of our backers that’s helping us focus on developing the game and making it the best it can be.

After defeating Ratmothan in the Undercity, you’ll find an elevator that the was guarding that leads to the Forsaken City. We’re currently working extensively on this area of the game right now. The Forsaken City is ridden with all sorts of mutant creatures. There are agile bugs with sharp claws, ‘Hive’ creatures that continue to spew out bugs until you get rid of it and bugs that send out explosive little buglings among many others. With a completely different map layout and background, we’re trying to design the Forsaken City to feel totally different from the Undercity.

We’re always going to focus on developing the game as our number one priority. Expanding contents such as future maps, monster/NPC design and system related improvements/additions… we’re working hard to create a game we all envisioned when we started developing the game. Of course we are also keeping a close eye on your feedback. While we won’t be able to address each and every one of them, there have been sharp critiques and things that we haven’t even thought of ourselves being reported by you guys that we will definitely implement/change. So please keep the feedback coming and we’ll make sure that your voices are heard. Again, thank you so much for the support!- Team Suneat.
