Hey everyone!
It's been a crazy month since launch, and the team is so thankful for all of your passion and support since we released Windblown into Steam Early Access. Your feedback has been paramount to what we've been working on next!
Speaking of which, we'll be releasing Windblown's first feature patch this month, which we're calling the Revenge Update!
It'll include new weapons, skins, trinkets, and huge updates of some major enemies and level design reworks, along with the long awaited Sudden Death rework - replaced by The Revenge Mode! Stay tuned for updates on this patch soon.
What's happened since launch
It's been non-stop for the team since launch, as we've worked through countless pieces of feedback and watched closely as you tackled the Vortex and its minions head on!
On top of this, it's been amazing to see how you've experienced Windblown with friends and found inspiration in things like fan art and videos.
So let's take a look at what's happened since launch:
Lots of small Updates
- Mouse Aiming - this was a hotly requested feature since launch, which was something we implemented fairly quickly. It became clear early on that keyboard and mouse users wanted more control over their character and it's targeting. So we added a new way to aim using the mouse, but also allowed players who preferred the existing method to continue using it.
- Bug fixes & QoL - plus a buuuunch of smaller fixes and tweaks to the game to improve everyone's experience. For example, weapon fixes, gift changes, and enemy tweaks.
- Balancing - tweaking things that were just too strong, and buffing things that needed a bit of love. Balance is super important and something we will continuously monitor.
AMA
We hosted our very first AMA over in the Windblown Discord, where we took questions from the community and answered as many as we could, focusing on the most important topics to our players. Check out the VoD below!
Creator Reactions
Sodapoppin took Windblown for a spin shortly after the games launch! It was great to see his community enjoying the content and getting involved with the stream!
The Co-Op Bros dove into multiplayer and gave their thoughts and impressions on the game! We loved seeing them tackle the Sentinels together!
