Hello all,
I want to share how our small team is going forward with the development of Maraka.
As with our previous game, Urtuk: The Desolation, we'll be doing the production of the game with our community - thus we really take your feedback and suggestions seriously.
As of now, we've created a good code base, and the core gameplay loop is already solid (at least I think so).
What we have now planned is more additions into the game:
- more variety of maps, enemies and mission objectives
- more abilities and skills
- more physics based environmental objects and hazards
- polishing controllers (we already have controllers working, but it's only 80% optimal)
- adding new sounds
- adding new OST (we've already began working on this!)
- (maybe) adding editing/mod tools for players
We want to have an up-to-date build of Maraka always available for you (as playtest build, demo, or beta), so we can see how players react to new features - and we'll adjust based on that. Please, use Discord or Steam forum for communicating with us.
For the Steam Next festival, we aim to participate in the June's festival, and we want to have the Demo in really good shape.
As said, we really hope to make Maraka something special, and we aim for the 'fun factor' the most. So any suggestions are more than welcome! It might take months to nail all details, but in the end, we want to have a great game :)
Also, today I've pushed a new version of Maraka - 0.86.14.
This adds new maps, objectives, abilities and the unlock/progress has been refined.
Thanks for all your support!
David
