Hello supporters, gamers & Phans,
Thank you for all your comments so far. The Phantom isn’t just a game for us, it is a passion project. We grew up with The Phantom and this our way of continuing the legacy.
Art Of Play is the two of us: Ash & Billy. We want to make comic/retro inspired games collaborating with other talented artists, animators and programmers who share the same passion as we do. We’ve stepped out of the kid's entertainment/e-learning space into the big ol’ world of console gaming and have taken it upon ourselves to not only curate The Phantom game, but also handle the trailer production, marketing and console porting.
We are now working on the next major update for the game before it goes off to Limited Run for physical distribution. It will be a big one. There’s always an endless list of things we’d like to do on a game - this happened even with our smaller projects - but with your added feedback, we think it will be even better. Here are some of the things we are working on:
- Combat tweaks for both The Phantom & Diana.
- Improve enemy encounters - especially around the 2 major boss battles. But in general, more variance,
- more aggressiveness, less idle/waiting, anti-spam, and anti-swarming.
- A full VO levelling and overhaul.
- Steam Achievements.
- Lots of bug fixes.
- Support for more controllers.
- Prevent issues on high refresh monitors without needing to adjust graphics settings by the player.
- Ensure the correct ending cutscenes are always triggered for all players, for all difficulty settings based on gameplay.
- Long list of minor bug fixes, and a couple of larger ones.
- Long list of graphical tweaks.
- And so much more...
We appreciate everyone who has already purchased/played this game and we are looking for a few additional game testers to add to our team. If you want to be involved as a beta tester for upcoming patches, please comment on this thread or drop us an email.
Thanks so much,
Ash & Billy
