Dysterra News

Hey guys, hope you guys are doing great!

We’re very excited to give you an update on what we have been working on regarding game display and character menu.

Based on various feedback's from our testers, we are in the process of changing some features as listed below.

[h3][Game Display Updates][/h3]
[h3]Optimized head up display [/h3]
Our head up display has been modified focusing more on survival and combat. Now, users can conveniently check out the essentials - character’s status and game progress - in a simple manner.

[h3]Party system added while unnecessary functions removed [/h3]
The screen configuration has been adjusted to fit various information related to party systems such as party members’ info and their locations. Chat system has also been changed accordingly.

Inconvenient short-keys have been unified and rearranged, and easy-to-expand switch quick slots have been added.



[h3][Basic Layout Revision][/h3]
[h3]Layout divided but more information[/h3]
In-game inventory now focuses more on character status and information about possessed items. Also, the crafting menu can be accessed separately due to its importance and usage frequency.

[h3]Better and easier user experience[/h3]
Mouse overlay pop-up function has been added to provide convenience in selecting, comparing, and wearing a variety of different items according to user actions.

In addition, the inventory is divided into three zones when looting items; Some great facets have been added to help you play Dysterra in a better gaming environment.



Finally, the information window conveying Landmarks and Diagrams are currently also undergoing some changes in contents and visuals to provide better game play for you.

Thank you, survivors!

Hope you guys are doing great!

It's already been 3 weeks we ran our alpha testing and had a chance to meet you guys. We'd like to let you know that our dev team has started working on the next test based on the feedback we gathered from you. We do really appreciate your opinions towards our alpha testing 😄

Apparently bears scared everyone day and night. Go easy on them next time. 🐻

Alpha testing brought us such a great opportunity for us to have a direction on development and made us realize how Dysterra pleased players as a survival game. For the next test, we are planning to shape it up more close to a finished build and of course to provide you an enormous fun.

We were very touched by your creativity and adventurous endeavor to construct amazing buildings that no one has ever imagined. 🔨

With this posting as a start, we are going to bring some topics to talk about in our community every week - topics could be our development plan, what our team has been up to or anything else. However, any dev plan we'll bring into our community might not be set in stone yet but at least it's something we could talk about and hear your opinions.

We know how much you guys want to hear news from us and also we'd love to keep our community alive and bright.

Anything you'd like to hear from us or any questions, please feel free to leave a comment on our Discord channel.

Thank you, survivors!

Greetings, alpha testers.

It’s a pleasure to meet you here and we’d like to express my gratitude towards your interest and participation in Dysterra Alpha testing. Dysterra is a sci-fi survival action game that allows you to roam the prison planet and offers a lot of exciting shooting battles and gaming experience.



We believe that communicating with players and taking their opinions seriously would help shape up the game. As Dysterra is still in an early stage of development, we have decided to present it to you as an Alpha testing instead of Beta. Every tester’s feedback is highly valuable to us and we’ll make sure to bring you an extreme survival gaming experience



Thank you again and I hope you enjoy Dysterra.

Best regards,
Kim Sung-Kyun, CEO of Reality MagiQ
