Wild Assault News

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Hello Wild Ones![/p][p]It's time for Wild Assault Dev Log. Today, we're revealing a feature currently in development: Custom Lobby[/p][p][/p][p]Feature Introduction[/p]

• [p]The Custom Lobby feature allows players to create their own game rooms and customize a variety of settings for their matches.[/p]
• [p]This feature has two primary goals:[/p]
  • [p]To help players easily team up, chat, and compete with friends;[/p]
  • [p]To tailor matches to personal preferences.[/p]

[p]Design Details[/p]

• [p]Player-created rooms will appear in a room list. Players can browse this list and join rooms created by others.[/p]
• [p]When creating a room, players can select their preferred game mode and maps.[/p]
• [p]Beyond mode and map selection, additional detailed settings are available, such as:[/p]
  • [p]Number of players of the match[/p]
  • [p]Attributes and ability of the Valiant[/p]
  • [p]BOT parameters[/p]
  • [p]Mode rules parameters[/p]

[p]Through these settings, players can create their ideal gameplay experience. For example:[/p]

• [p]Matches that limit Valiant selection[/p]
• [p]Human vs. BOT matches[/p]
• [p]Matches with modified skill cooldowns for an "ULTRA SKILL" mode[/p]

[p]Current Development Progress[/p]

• [p]Our team is hard at work on this feature. Below are some sneak peeks from the design phase to give you an early look.[/p]

[p][/p][p]That's all about the Custom Lobby. Join us again next week! If you have suggestions or ideas for it, please share your feedback with us!

[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]
