Hey Rifters,
It’s been one week since our Steam Next Fest alpha demo came to an end. We again want to extend a massive thank you to all our intrepid explorers who jumped into the Lost Rift demo during Next Fest.
Over 50,000 brave Rifters set foot on Pioneers’ Landing during the demo, fighting their way through outcasts, hyenas, dodos, and other players to complete over 10,000 successful Expeditions. Oh, and we can’t forget Bonkey! Bonkey managed to claim the lives of over 950 very unlucky players. Ouch, we are not responsible for those damages.
Oh yeah, thanks to you all, Lost Rift was also one of the most played demos during Steam Next Fest. Holy smokes!
Since the demo was taken offline earlier this week, our entire team has been heads-down in numerous feedback review meetings, combing through absolutely everything you've shared with us through your Stream reviews, Discord messages, YouTube videos, and Twitch streams. We’ve identified several actionable improvements that we’ve already started working on:
- Reviewing early game pacing and progression flow
- Enhancing PvE and solo gameplay viability
- Prioritizing fixes for most reported bugs and crashes
- Addressing enemy AI difficulty based on your encounters
- Improving and expanding building and crafting for smoother play
- Additional language support
- Much more!
We are also currently putting together a public roadmap that outlines more of our long-term development plans, but for now, please know that your voices are being heard and are directly influencing our EA priorities.
Thanks again for being part of this journey with us, and we look forward to having you back in Pioneers’ Landing.
