Wild Assault Dev Log #31: Update on Recent R&D

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Hello Wild Ones, TGIF![/p][p]We'd like to take some time to talk more with you about the changes we implemented through this week's updates.[/p][p]First of all, a little background here:[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]As you've read, before deploying the weekly update, we conducted our balancing plan based on the following factors:[/p]

• [p]Community Survey Statistics[/p]
• [p]Internal Discussions[/p]
• [p]Feasibility Validations[/p]
• [p]Internal Tests[/p]

[p][/p][p]A lot of work has been done behind the scenes, and that's how we carried out the plan and made the announcement in previous Steam News posts. However, what's more important is how these adjustments truly perform in the live environment.[/p][p][/p][p]After announcing the adjustment plan, we continued further testing of its performance while collecting your feedback through multiple social media platforms. This allowed us to more clearly see that certain adjustments were not performing as expected in the actual game. Therefore, we modified the weekly update announcement accordingly, based on our live experience and data.[/p][p][/p][p]Once again, we believe that constant optimization and adjustment plans are crucial for this journey. In order to keep polishing the project while providing you with an entertaining gameplay experience, we plan to further advance the testing schedule for every round of optimizations in the future. Hopefully, by slightly adjusting the R&D process, your feedback can help us refine the adjustments more directly. By doing so, it will be easier for us to provide you with an overall satisfying game experience each new season. Thank you again for all your help. We truly appreciate it! ❤️[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]New Valiant (You Know Who 😉)[/p]
