I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday Season!
After taking some time off to enjoy Christmas with family, I’m excited to be back and working hard on exciting new features and improvements and cannot wait to provide you all with updates you deserve!
I've heard your feedback!
So far, the majority of feedback has been overwhelmingly positive since the launch of early access. However, it's been noted that some of you find the game quite complicated to get started with and a little repetitive.
Early Handholding
While the tutorial provides the basic information needed to get started, it’s clear that the transition into the gameplay feels a bit abrupt.
Planned Fix:
I plan to turn the first couple of flights into a more guided experience, offering much more detailed information. I’m even considering adding a "hint" system during these initial two days. This could range from your supervisor pointing out something unusual in a bag, to physically highlighting items, showing exact examples of prohibited or illegal contents, and explaining why they are flagged.
Creating a Purpose
I am currently working on a new career system! This system will introduce tasks for you to complete, such as processing bags or discovering items. Once you've completed all assigned tasks, you’ll earn a promotion!
Each promotion will come with rewards, including tools to assist with your daily work and a pay increase.
These promotion levels are designed to give you a clear sense of progression and a meaningful goal, rather than simply working endlessly without an end in sight.
Keeping Gameplay Fresh
One of my key ongoing priorities is to keep the gameplay exciting and varied by introducing new random events and a wider variety of items to discover. These additions are essential to ensuring the experience stays engaging and avoids becoming repetitive.
I’m also exploring new gameplay mechanics that could add depth and unexpected challenges, creating moments that keep you on your toes and make each session feel unique. Your feedback will be invaluable in shaping these updates!
Bear With Me
As a solo developer, I have my hands full with implementing new features, fixing bugs, responding to feedback and dealing with family life. While it all takes time, I remain committed to delivering the best experience possible.
Your incredible support and understanding mean the world to me. I cannot thank you enough for your patience and encouragement as I work hard to make this game everything it can be - and more. Together, we’re building something special!
You can also check out the first three stages of the Early Access roadmap below!
I’m not necessarily tackling these in order; instead, I’m prioritizing them based on ongoing demand and player requests. Once these stages are complete, rest assured that more exciting updates will follow shortly after!
Thank you all so much for being incredible!
Craig.
