Hello friends! Just one week left until the game's launch!
As the release date approaches, everyone in the studio is feeling exceptionally nervous and excited. We can't wait to meet our players!
In the time since our last update, we've completed a ton of content (limited by space, only some are listed below), let me give a work report:
- Added over 100 new talents
- Perfected over 20 new characters yet to debut
- Completed Endless Mode/Hell Mode, and subsequent chapter difficulty adjustments
- Continuously tested/optimized online experience (including 3-player co-op)
- Leaderboard feature
- Map Easter Egg system
- Based on player data, did an extra round of numerical balancing (including talent strength, divine weapon strength, characters, Bosses, etc.)
- Dynamic loading + baking for the large map (significantly optimized scene performance)
- Improved controller support
- Story Fragment System (nearly 30,000 words of storyline), character dialogue, subsequent cutscenes/comics
- Added some UI (related to online play, all weapon ICONs, character skills, etc.)
- Perfected localization (English/Traditional Chinese/Korean)
- Improved cloud save feature
- Fixed a bunch of BUGs
After the game goes live, we will continue to share development logs. Please pay close attention to us to stay updated on the game's changes!
Additionally,
this weekend (November 25th - November 27th Eastern Time) the final Playtest for "Apocalypse Party" will begin:
- Players who applied but were not selected in the last test will remain in the draw pool for this test, no need to reapply.
- First-time applicants, please go to the "Apocalypse Party" store page and click the "Request Access" button before 7 AM on Saturday, November 25th Eastern Time, for a chance to receive Playtest eligibility randomly distributed by Steam! (Check your email for a "Test Acceptance" email from Steam, or directly go to your game library after 7 AM on November 25th Eastern Time to see if the option for the "Apocalypse Party" test version is available)
- Players who were selected in the last test can still participate this time (as spots are randomly distributed by Steam)
This test will be a wipe test (will not affect existing saves)
Registration deadline: 7 AM on Saturday, November 25th Eastern Time
Test duration: From the evening of November 25th to the evening of November 27th Eastern Time
Thank you to all the players for your support along the way. Having you with us on this development journey has been a joyous experience.
