Gameplay Re-Vamp | Planetary Battles
Last month we published our “Gameplay design plans,” this month we’ve been rigorously implementing and testing them. The “June 4th “Meet & Test” event produced a lot of valuable feedback, so a big thank you to everyone that provided comment, critique and criticism.
Up next, the Planetary Base assault loop will be re-introduced to the game. (It was temporarily removed so we could focus on Station Assault). We’ll be looking to receive more player feedback on the new gameplay loop, and further, on the state of the game.
Community Event and Testing
We'll be hosting a livestream to cover the changes, and discuss the new gameplay. Including match progression, objectives for attacking / defending planetary bases, changes to player progression, unlocks, loadouts, missions and more.
Your feedback is important to us. We'll continue to track how the game plays, and how intuitive objectives are for new players. We're interested in hearing your thoughts on refining the Station Assault loop, Planetary Base assault loop, and team play mechanics. Let us know on the Discord Server #feedback channels - Discord Server Invite Link Here
