Greetings, Descendants! This is The First Descendant Dev team.

In this Dev Note, as mentioned in Dev Note vol. 8, we'd like to tell you about our progress with the mission gameplay content improvements. As previously announced, in preparation for the launch, the Dev team has changed the structures and rules of the fields. To accommodate these changes, the Dev Team is in the process of redeveloping missions, contents, and monster placements. Given that missions are the most integral part of The First Descendant's co-op PvE experience, various improvements are in development to bring tangible change and more fun gameplay.

To this end, we are working diligently on noticeable improvements, from meticulously enhancing the Mission UI and UX to introducing new features such as Instance Dungeons. In this Dev Note, we want to share our current progress in as much detail as possible.

(All images included in this document were captured directly from the build in development.)

[Dev Note vol.10]

Greetings, Descendants! This is The First Descendant Dev team.

We will be covering the topic of UI/UX in detail in this Dev Note. As such, in a gesture of full disclosure, during the 2022 Steam Beta Test, the UI had received a satisfaction score of 3 out of 5 points, leaving things much to be desired. In order to improve the issues brought up in feedback, the Dev Team had revamped and modified most of the UI, improving the score to 4 points during the Crossplay Open Beta Test.

Despite such efforts, even during the Crossplay Open Beta Test, we still received a wide variety of feedback when it came to the UI/UX. Considering how closely tied the UI/UX is to the convenience of gameplay, the Dev Team has been working on improvements to increase satisfaction when the official service starts by implementing the feedback as much as possible. Therefore, today, we would like to introduce the ongoing improvements and the new features when it comes to UI/UX.

[Dev Note vol.9]

Greetings, Descendants! This is The First Descendant Dev team.

We were a bit worried with the previous Dev Note vol. 7, having the thought that we might have covered too much ground in our attempt to go over everything we were working on instead of going into the details of each topic. It was a relief, though, to see through the community's reaction that many of our Descendants could see the big picture of the direction the development is going.

So, while we painted a broad picture last time, we'd like to delve more into several topics in detail from now on, depending on development progress. In this Dev Note, we'll tackle one of the most hotly debated topics among the development team since the last Crossplay Open Beta Test: Field enhancements.
