Weekly Dev Update #67
Week of Jan 17, 2022
Did ya miss us? We’re back. We’ve actually been back in the metaphorical office for a few weeks now, but we were preoccupied with a nice little opportunity. We’ll talk more about that in the near future, but we think it’ll be worth our attention.
This week, we’re finally ready for the next phase of testing!
DISCORD TESTING: CRAFTING and BAITS
It’s been a long time coming but we’re finally ready to test our next major feature and we need YOUR help! First, a quick “what” and then we’ll give you the easy “how.” And this time around, we have a rewarding “why” too.
Kaiju Fishing is going to feature some basic crafting to make unique baits. These baits will give you small bonuses for your fishing endeavors and help you get rarer bites. This first wave of testing is adding all four crafting materials and a selection of our early-game baits. We want you to get them in your hand and see which ones feel good and where we can improve ‘em.
So now you’re thinkin’: “How can I help?” First, thanks for your interest! This process should be very simple.
Step 1) Join our Mutant Entertainment Studios Discord (links on our Twitter profile @MutantStudios) and get yourself an “Alpha Tester” role. Just ask!
Step 2) Watch for the Build 0.0.4.1 post to go live on FRIDAY, JANUARY 21ST, 2022. This Friday!
Step 3) Play the exclusive build before anyone else.
Step 4) Fill out a quick and easy feedback form about the feature.
That’s it! You just gotta play the game and tell us what you think. As we test, we'll be rolling out to Discord first, then Itch, and then finally a bigger update to Steam with some of the feedback along with some other fixes after.
You’d be an integral part of our process but we know what you’re about: games. *Free games, to be exact! So as part of this process, we’re offering free Mutant Studios game keys to everyone who gives us Feedback. At the end of the form, you’ll be asked which Key you want from us and we’ll send it over ASAP!
The options will include any of our current Steam line-up, including: I Can’t Believe It’s Not Gambling, Questr, and Astro Joust!
