It's been a wild ride since we dropped Prologue 1 of “Unsung Empires: The Cholas” on January 15th, 2024, around midnight and wow the response has been incredible! With 5k+ downloads overnight and a massive 10k+ downloads within just 24 hours. It's been nothing short of amazing, and I wanted to take you behind the scenes to share the story of what went down.
Two weeks before the big day, it was all-nighters and loads of coffee. We were on a mission to shape "Unsung Empires: The Cholas" into the best gaming experience possible. We fixed bugs and glitches and tested the game a thousand times to ensure we were launching the best version for you.
And the hard work paid off; when we launched the game, the buzz around it was insane, and we were excited to hear about your experience. But you know what's even cooler? The mixed response that we had received from you guys. Both good ones and the constructive criticism we got we took it all in cause hey, we are in this together.
As soon as the feedback started pouring out, we immediately got to work on patches.
Patch 1.1 dropped on January 16th, fixing general bugs, player spawn issues, and even smoothing out the ocean introduction map’s performance. We added a cool feature where you can hit the spacebar to skip ocean cinematics – because we get it, sometimes you just want to dive into the action.
Patch 1.2 followed three days later January 19th. We enhanced tent and cloth materials, stabilized vision, and made the final cinematic performance even better.
Then came Patch 1.3 on January 20th, fixing things like Parry Indication Adjustment, Enemy Response, Save File Deletion Improvement, SFX and FX Playback Correction, and Combat Music Trigger Correction.
Fast forward to Patch 1.4 on January 24th – we addressed issues from players falling out of the gameplay area to fixing Chola's attack delays. We even added indicators for mini-boss attacks and adjusted the direction of the parrying visual effects. It's been a rollercoaster of patches, but we're committed to giving you the best experience.
In Patch 1.5, we've enhanced graphic optimization, allowing smooth gameplay even at low settings, we've also fixed general bugs such as fixing the UI consistency, the UI will now correctly display controls for the ‘Rock push’ action when using a controller. Now, you can enjoy the game with your preferred control setup. Your feedback matters, and we're committed to making your gaming experience even better!
As of now, we've got 400k+ impressions and 30k+ downloads! Engaging with you all has been our favorite part. The chats, the reviews, the discussions – you're not just players; you're part of the Unsung Empires family.
