Hello Steam folks and wandmakers!
Thank you for checking out our first Steam Announcement! I'm Mori, the community manager at Mushroomallow, and I'll be keeping you posted on Wonder Wandelier's development.
Let's dive into what you're eager to know:
The Playtest Build
Following playtest sessions with our QAs, we've identified the primary issue in our current build—UI clarity. Some of these concerns include:
- Insufficient contrast between the UI background and white-colored text.
- Font size being too small.
- The need for an additional dark-colored background behind text pop-ups.
We've also recognized issues with the tutorial delivery. Given our current team size (just 5 of us) and resources, for the present build we're opting for text and dialogues to deliver the tutorial. The UI clarity concerns have impacted the tutorial delivery and thus, impacted the overall gameplay experience. These issues are on our radar for resolution this week (Nov 13-17) as we aiming to launch the playtest by the weekend.
We're also simultaneously setting up a Discord server for community gathering, bug reporting, and direct feedback. Stay tuned for another announcement once the Discord server and the playtest build are ready!
Afterwords
We want to express our sincere gratitude for everyone's interest in Wonder Wandelier. As our first commercial title, there's a lot for us to learn in the journey to release this game. Your support is what keeps us fueled and motivated. Truly, thank you so much!
