January Update – Map Update and 2019
Hi all,
We hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year and are enjoying Deceit now that Halloween has finally finished. We wanted to provide you with an update with what’s going on in the studio at the moment and what’s coming up in the short- and longer-term for Deceit.
In the short term, the studio’s priorities are primarily focussed on other projects, primarily Mavericks: Proving Grounds. This won’t come as a surprise to many of you. Because of this, the game is not going to be heavily developed from a technical standpoint for the next 6+ months – this means no major updates, no substantial new changes.
However, you were promised a new map and we are working on this presently.
Many in the studio still want to help Deceit grow and develop and so, on their own time, teams are helping finalise the new map before we share it with you all. Exact timelines are unknown currently, but we expect to share this before the end of March.
This doesn’t mean Deceit is dead, far from it. With the new platform and technology going into Mavericks, the studio’s plan is to bring over some of these new capabilities into Deceit. This will however take time and we expect for these substantial changes to be incorporated towards the end of 2019.
So, with so little happening technically, and future plans a long way off, what are we doing in the interim? We plan on doing a number of community-focused activities and events including in-game tournaments, competitions (e.g. Fan Art, Cosplay), amongst some other initiatives which we’ll be sharing more information about in the coming weeks.
Let us know what you think about what’s coming up on our Discord, we’d appreciate the feedback and comments you have.
