Hello Community,
I'd like to address you briefly today, not with an update, but with a few thoughts about the game, its development, and the feedback from the community.
Since the beginning of 2021, I've been developing this game as a solo developer with passion, patience, and constant improvement. There are regular updates, on average every two to four weeks, with new content, bug fixes, improvements, and performance optimizations.
Community feedback also actively contributes to development, much of which has greatly improved the game. At this point, I'd like to thank everyone who has contributed constructively!
Review & Request to Previous Players
I know there have always been ups and downs over time, and yes, there are decisions I might have made differently in retrospect, but unfortunately, I can't undo. I can only look forward and move on.
What's going on with the reviews?
I've been observing the development of the reviews with mixed feelings for some time, especially because some statements contradict each other.
Opinions vary. But I find it difficult to objectively assess the review status.
I'm constantly thinking about how I can improve the game without deviating from my core idea. KeepUp Survival is intended to remain a simple survival sandbox base-building game, open and without fixed specifications.
There were no fundamental gameplay changes that could significantly impact perception, just improvements: content-wise, visually, and through bug fixes.
Since March 2023, however, the review ratio has significantly worsened, and honestly, I can't explain why. Don't get me wrong, it just feels like all the updates have done little to improve the game.
How do you currently perceive the game?
I'm interested in your opinion, honestly: What do you like and dislike? And what do you think about the current review trend?
Of course, there are still open areas to improve, such as the first-person mode or visual aspects; I'm aware of that, and I'm working on them. But none of that prevents you from actually playing or restricts important features.
Your honest feedback
Some of you may have written your review at a time when the game was in a completely different state.
If you like, feel free to take another look; a lot has changed. Maybe your impression is completely different today, maybe not.
But: Your honest feedback really helps me.
Thank you for your time, your interest, and for every piece of feedback that helps move KeepUp Survival forward.
In Discord you have the possibility to follow the development and ask questions. https://discord.gg/8zyKXj9SDr
