Development Digest January 11th - 20th
Happy Friday, Friends!
A little late today, but it's still Friday here. At the start of the week, I made a poll that we posted on our social media accounts and our Discord. We listed a few features that are on our road map and asked what feature you wanted to see go in next. While we thought fishing would be the clear winner (as everyone always comments on when it's coming and if the game will have it), as of right now dungeons is leading by a long shot. Head over to our poll before it closes and add your vote. You can also comment on the poll (no account necessary): https://strawpoll.com/polls/eNg696D84nA
With the results so far, I started doing a thing:
I don't have all the details yet, but it's a work in progress.
Michael has been working away at all kinds of different things. First off he has been doing some refactoring for the experience system as it pertains to healing and status effects. He added an aggro system for shields that generate threat when you block and deal damage to enemies.
A lot of people have been asking for more chaos magic and so Michael added a new chaos spell. Then he jumped over to Ironwind Pass to do some terrain work and get the last bit of this area fleshed out. Lastly, he added a new puzzle to the Farmlands for a fun reward. There's a few other things he has been working on along with the above, but we've only released that information to our Patreon Patrons.
While I'd love to get these updates out soon, they'll be going through testing first. We are within the final month of baby's expected arrival, so planning on when we can get an update out is easier said than done. But we are working on a lot of new and exciting things. I'm hoping to get a new roadmap out before the baby gets here, but I can't make any promises.
Our next Community Event will be hosted through Discord and the Kindred Games US official sever on Saturday February 18th at 11am PST. One of our moderators (whom you've probably seen answering questions all over the Steam forums) will be hosting and has some fun things planned for the event! Make sure you join the Discord to get informed on when we do these events and any other community things.
Well that's it for this week! See you all next week (if baby doesn't come!)
