Lord of Rigel - Roundup #11
Hello Lords of Rigel,
Happy holidays to everyone and we hope you all are enjoying or will be enjoying some time to rest and relax with family and friends as we approach the new year. This past week saw a hotfix focused on bug fixes and another that fixed a bug that we missed in development/testing. Thanks to the users that quickly reported this, we were able to fix it and get an update on Steam within a couple hours. We have several fixes that should be coming before this update is released or shortly after. We are continuing to work down the ticket queue and focus on bugs. The goal is to clear things up enough so that as we focus on extensive refactors or core systems, we have the ticket queue in a manageable state. Our upcoming hotfix should address random event frequency, buying production, tooltips, research filtering for EA techs, and a variety of other bugs.
We have had another lively week in the forums with lots of great conversation around ideas for research. Users seem to have conflicting views on whether a great research system is more randomized, unknown or well-known and queueable. We would like to hear from more users about this as this is something for us to think about and plan for upcoming EA releases. One thing that users can be expecting in Lord of Rigel’s future is a quest system. While it may not be there on full release day, it is something that should come not long after. We believe, as many of you do, that this will add depth to the game and as developers, we want to make sure that we do something different and more meaningful than we have seen in the past.
This coming week we will be focusing our efforts around continuing to refactor ship designer and the automated design system. Once this is completed, we will start to look more at getting the turn/economy system refactored and optimized. We believe that many of the issues users are experiencing are stemming from order of operations issues between different parts of turn that are being processed.
We'll be taking a short break from these roundups for the holiday season, but we'll be back in 2023 with more news!
As always, we really appreciate the feedback and support from all of you. Until next time!
