Greetings Defenders,
Development on Trials: The Endgame Update is coming along smoothly! Our community playtesters are in their second week of playing the latest builds. We’re using their feedback to iterate on features, quality of life and balance changes -- lots and lots of balance changes! Thanks to the nearly 100 volunteer community members who are making this our best update yet. If you’d like to help us out, send an email to dani.moore[at]trendyent[dot]com!
Speaking of our community, the number one question you’ve been asking us is, “When is the update coming out, Trondo?” We’re not sure who this Trondo person is. Sounds like an off-brand thirst quencher. Or a plant fertilizer of some sort. Either way, you’ve been craving a release date -- a craving we can’t sate just yet. We shook our Magic 8-Ball of Development Precognition to help us divine a date, and it said, “Most likely.” Then we shook it again, and it said, “Signs point to yes.” So there you have it! Most likely, all signs point to us revealing a release date soon. Thanks, Magic 8-Ball! We totally don’t regret purchasing you from that vagabond salesman!
In the meantime, our enemy scouting reports are coming in one by one. We heard from the late Prime Scout Andrelian last week about the Cybork. Over the course of the coming week, the rest of our Etherian scouts will share their findings on the new enemies coming your way.
Today’s report comes from Prime Scout Xavier, who coincidentally seems to have the exact same artistic style and skill as Prime Scout Andrelian:
Geodes
“What an unusual creature. Or is it a device? I can’t really tell. The little guy doesn’t eat. Doesn’t drink. Just follows orders. But it gets angry if you poke it with a spear as one of our scouts discovered. RIP Eddie. You were an idiot, but the kind of idiot everyone needs in a group. You completed us!
We saw the Orcs testing the Geode in their training exercises. It emits some sort of shield when activated. I wonder if the Geode itself is vulnerable to attack. Hmm, maybe it wasn’t angry when Eddie hit it with the spear. Maybe it was scared.”
