Hello Dear Game Players!
2020 has just started, but we've been hard at work at RavenFist Studios planning out what this year will look like for Unicorn Tails.
For starters, we've already released a ninja fix for a bug that one of you, Dear Game Players, brought to our attention.
Also, our first patch will be released very shortly. This includes some refinement to a few characters dialog to make quests flow better as well as a handful of bug fixes.
This is the pattern that we feel is most appropriate. If there's something that is game breaking, we're going to fix it, test it, and release it. These are our ninja fixes. Then we'll release official patches that will coincide with a post in these forums with patch notes.
For our first major addition to the game, we've decided to take the Effects in the game (where you can make your unicorn sparkle, generate fire, etc.) and morph it into an Ability System. Once this is in place you will have the visual effects on the unicorn, but it will also grant limited powers. Want to gallop at twice speed? Select that ability from the menu. Want to jump twice as high? You get the idea. Each ability will be tied to a hotkey (1-4 on the keyboard, or the D-pad on a controller) and will function on a timed cool-down. Of course, your ability to ... er ... assign an ability will depend on if you have found, purchased, or unlocked said ability first. Post your thoughts in the feedback forum and let us know what other powers you'd like to see for your Unicorns. We have a huge list but are always looking for more.
Finally, we are putting together an official road map of improvements and additions we are planning to make to Unicorn Tails through the rest of 2020. Once we have that complete, we'll post it for all to see. In addition to enhancements like the Ability System we are also spending a lot of time and effort on new quests that will continue to unfold the greater story of Unicorn Tails. There is some exciting stuff coming up in Quests, but I can't share any more about that right now.
Thank you, Dear Game Players, for joining us on this unicorn journey. We've been very pleased at the reception Unicorn Tails has received so far and are committed to our promise of expanding and refining this game through its Early Access life.
Until next time,
RavenFist Studios
