Launch Week Recap
[h2]How Launch Week Went[/h2][p]This past week since launch has been crazy in the best and most eye-opening way. Releasing Echoes of Elysium has been a huge milestone for us and finally seeing it live feels incredibly rewarding. We want to thank everyone who has taken the time to try out our game and share their thoughts with us whether through Steam reviews, discussion posts, our Discord, or on social media. [/p][p][/p][p]Early Access is about learning in the open, and launch week delivered exactly that. We’ve learned a lot from seeing players jump in, experiment, and share their experiences. That feedback is helping us spot what to double down on and what needs more love as we keep iterating.[/p][p][/p][p]Thanks to everyone who’s been playing, sharing thoughts, and helping shape Echoes of Elysium as it grows.[/p][p][/p][h2]Feedback: The Good, the Bad, and the Takeaways[/h2][p]We’ve seen a lot of feedback come in since launch, and honestly, we really appreciate how open and passionate everyone’s been.[/p][p][/p][p]The good stuff tells us what’s working. The tougher feedback shows us where things aren’t quite clicking yet. Both matter, and both help us make the game better. A lot of what you’ve shared has already helped us spot issues faster and rethink priorities in ways we might not have caught on our own.[/p][p][/p][p]At the end of the day, we’re here to build Echoes of Elysium with you. We want to learn, improve, and keep pushing the game toward the experience you believed in when you picked it up. We’re listening, we’re iterating, and we’re committed to making this journey worth it.[/p][p][/p][h2]What’s New?[/h2][p]In just one week, we’ve pushed out five (okay… six 😅) solid patches, and most of that progress came directly from community feedback.[/p][p][/p][p]Since launch, we’ve already improved core feel and usability in some meaningful ways. Mouse sensitivity settings are now live, movement and gliding are smoother, early-game friction has been reduced, crafting and repair issues have been fixed, and a bunch of annoying bugs and edge cases have been cleaned up. These were things players flagged quickly, and we made it a priority to get them addressed fast.[/p][p][/p][p]Every update so far has been guided by player reports, suggestions, Steam reviews, and conversations happening in the community. It's been incredibly motivating and has helped us move faster and smarter than we could have on our own. Seeing how people actually play and where things slow down or click helps us focus on what matters most. If something feels off, even if it seems small, we want to hear about it. That feedback genuinely shapes what we tackle next so keep them coming!
