Working On Your Playtest Feedback!

We want to say a big thank you to everyone who participated in the Tales of Seikyu playtest this month. We received a lot of great feedback from the community, so much so that we actually extended the playtest to give you more time with the game!

You shared all kinds of thoughts with us, including what you loved and what you felt needed a little work in order to make Seikyu a truly wonderful experience. Now that we’ve had some time to review your feedback, we wanted to go through some of the areas we’re aiming to show a little love to ahead of our Early Access launch (date TBA).

Please bear in mind that Tales of Seikyu is still under development and that the areas outlined below are intended to give you an idea of what we’re taking a look at as a result of the playtest feedback. These may be subject to change and are not the only parts of the game we’re working on.

[h3]Tour of the Town:[/h3]
It seems that the kind-hearted mayor of Seikyu, Yui Oda, needs to work on her tour-guide skills! We’re aiming to update the introductory tour of the town to make onboarding more enjoyable for players.

[h3]Days Last Longer:[/h3]
We get it, when every day is magical, you never want them to end! There’s plenty to do in Seikyu, so we agree that there could be a little more time allocated to each day.

[h3]Farming Updates:[/h3]
We’re looking into ways to ensure farming is straightforward and rewarding (without demanding too much time and attention).

[h3]Key Remapping and Updated Gamepad Keys:[/h3]
It’s important to us that our controls feel as natural and intuitive as possible.

[h3]Fox Shrine Portraits of Fox Ancestors:[/h3]
Meet the family! ≽ܫ≼

[h3]In-World Signs to Help You Navigate Seikyu:[/h3]
You’re new in town, after all.

[h3]Updated Map:[/h3]
You’ll have to wait and see on this one 👀

[h3]More Foraging Variety:[/h3]
Making Seikyu a treasure trove of plants, minerals, and more. Collectors, rejoice!

[h3]More Bag Storage:[/h3]
If we’re adding more foraging variety, you’re gonna need more space in your inventories, right?

[h3]Fishing Optimization:[/h3]
Polishing the fishing mini-game to make it reel-y fun (get it?). °‧ 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 ·。

[h3]More Sound Effects:[/h3]
The ASMR possibilities are endless.

[h3]Bug Fixes:[/h3]
Self-explanatory. We’re calling the exterminators!

[h3]Safer Waters:[/h3]
On second thought…maybe going into the water shouldn’t immediately kill you? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[h3]Crafting System Updates:[/h3]
Oh, the things you’ll make!

[h3]Lighting and Texture Optimization:[/h3]
It’s all about the aesthetic, after all!

We’re really excited to implement your playtest feedback into the game, and we’re so grateful to everybody who took the time to play and share their thoughts with us. We love our community and hope you’ll join the fun over on the official Tales of Seikyu Discord.
