Hello everyone!
It's been a few days Sandwalkers is out now, and we wanted to talk about it! We know not everyone's checking patchnotes, Steam forums and everything, so this is your place to get posted about the release!
First of all, we want to of course thank you all for playing the game, whether you just hopped on the caravan, or if you helped build it from EA and beyond. Creating a video game is always a challenge, and having feedback from people helps a lot, quite litteraly for the quality of the game, but also to make us give our everything
Bug issues
There's been some issues in the game for the release. A vast majority of them are due to save compatibility issues between some versions of the Early Access, and the Release version.
Some really bad ones were fixed already, and some other fixes are also coming along the way (we see you Yoz Larvae).
Thanks again for reporting them here in the Steam forums, or on the Discord. Some issues are passing through our nets, and your help have been precious to correct them. We're currently still investigating and fixing issues, as well as closely monitoring the situation, so you can expect some more patches coming
Balancing
Currently, the main problem we have is balancing. As it is right now, there's an issue with it, and we're working on it. Of course, balancing is always a touchy subject, as it is always complicated to get it just right. It would seem that on our quest to get it as fine tuned as possible, something went really wrong and detuned the balancing a lot. Still, we do not want to rush this one fix as this can be incredibly frustrating, for you, and for us too. We want to know what went wrong and make it right, obviously.
On this matter, we think we should be able to get a version live of this updated balancing, tomorrow (April 11th)
This is all we wanted to tell you for now, as we felt like it was important to keep you posted. Please stay tuned for patchnotes, and potential future Checkpoints!
Thanks for reading, and, most importantly, thanks for playing Sandwalkers
