These Doomed Isles: The First God prologue is coming to Steam on May 5th
Hey everyone!
It is official, the prologue is coming to Steam on May 5th! Just over 2 weeks so go! In order to focus on the prologue we will be taking down the demo tomorrow on April 21st but then it is only 2 weeks to wait until the prologue!
The prologue will have a few differences to the most recent demo aimed particularly at balance, onboarding and polish:
We're going to be putting more of a focus on the onboarding part of the game, as well as looking to give you more reliable options to deal with the various difficulty spikes in the game.
The first thing is the addition of new ascension levels; a new level 1 and 2, which will be available from the start. These levels will be easier than the current level 1, and designed to help you learn the game more smoothly, experiment with different options and not get absolutely crushed because you didn't have any workers on your farm at harvest time (I have done this too many times...)
Next we're adding in some additional cards for each of the Gods that can be used as basic defence cards. These will be weaker and cheap to buy and use than the other options, but you will start with one in your deck and they will have an infinite number of uses.
We're also looking again at the card weighting in the harvest, to try and make sure it's offering you the more broadly useful cards more often, rather than the cards that are particularly context dependent.
Finally, there's been a lot of feedback about how rubbish some of the God Power cards are (particularly "Bloody Roots"). We're going to fix that too. I was worried about making them too strong, but you don't get them very often so I think it's probably fairer if they're a little bit OP!
All of the above have come from suggestions from the Steam community, which has been awesome! So PLEASE keep leaving me feedback there because it will make a HUGE difference to how good the game can become 🙂
As well as the balance tweaks, we've also been working on some little additions, such as the ability to continue your run peacefully after defeating Balor. There's also a little visual update that I'll leave you to find out about when you download the prologue 😉
