Level 50 Progress Update
Quick Progress Update 2: Electric Boogaloo
Just wanted to let you guys know how things are going with the level 50 update. Here is my progress so far and what is left to do:
As you can see some things have changed from the previous plan. I ended up adding an extra boss and a crafting system (partly because I needed it for Easter). I've also added a week to implement the story as this has ended up being a lot more complex than I had previously thought.
Unfortunately I've decided to remove the new clothing from the plan because our character artist (Dobrin) has been sick with a heart condition recently and therefore he's had to slow down the pace of his work. The new clothing will be here eventually, but it won't be finished in time for the level 50 update unfortunately. We are adding a lot of new stuff though so when it finally drops it should be worth the wait :)
Right now I am 100% focused on getting the Easter events ready in both games (I'll be announcing them on Monday), but starting April 5th I'll be able to put all my energy into DF2 again and hopefully have the level 50 content out in early May.
I'll leave you with a screenshot of one of our new zombie variants. Hope you like it! :)
