Every Day We Fight News

[p]Manually saving has been a major ask in reviews, and we have been dedicating a lot of time to making sure it interacts well with the game. We've taken longer to implement this as it is heavily involved in the game's architecture, and we don't want to cut corners with you. If you haven't already, we'd love it if you could share your thoughts about Every Day We Fight in a Steam review. Not only would it help us a lot. It's also a powerful way to implement the changes and additions you want to see.[/p][p][/p][h3]Every Day We Debug![/h3][p]In an effort to address all the bugs that you wonderful Thorns have been submitting, we've created a public bug tracker. We will be updating it frequently to reflect which bugs are being worked on, in order to avoid dedicating too much time to duplicate issues. We humbly request that if you're curious and looking to support us that you take a look at this board and relay any information pertaining to specific issues to your fellow Thorns.[/p][p]Here is the link, issues are listed from highest priority to least, with the addition of those lacking a classification at the end: https://trello.com/b/1zPqyafM/edwf-bugs[/p][p]

[p]We continue to focus our efforts on increased stability. We’re beginning to look closely at the difficulty curve throughout the experience. These changes should start to give players more resources at key moments. Additionally we are looking at toning down the lethality of Rifters on the first turn when they enter the fight.[/p][p][/p][h3]Every Day We Read Reviews![/h3][p]Reviews have been incredibly helpful for our team, from crash reports to missing walls. Every bug you fight and take the time to share with us goes a super long way towards us fixing it in a timely manner. We're also focusing in on some quality of life changes that some of you have mentioned in your forum posts and reviews. [/p][h3]
