Hey there!
Here to get some News on the project out to you and to let you guys know what's up and the order of things on the menu for STLD as of now.
This week I'm diving back into development for the game, Amber's voice effects are just about there, and I will consider them absolutely finished as soon as I tone down the character remarks after kills. It's a little tricky to get her to talk just enough but not too much.
I'm kind of excited in a weird way about the tutorial, I'm simply going to call it "Learn" and put it as an optional choice on the main menu. It will not be cannon to the story but will instead focus solely on getting the players foot in the door with the core gameplay and controls of STLD. Disthron left a pretty heated review on the controls and the folks at "Save or Quit" despite being overall positive about the game mentioned that it had issues as well.....
I don't want you guys to think I'm not listening. I've been racking my brain on how to make the game easier to pick up and understand for everyone. I think with the tutorial and some slight changes made to the way Amber interacts with the environment it should help stop some players from getting tripped up on the way things work. This week I'll be focusing mainly on these two aspects.. Let's call it a precursor to the patch. So that is:
- Buidling the tutorial
and
- Tweaking gameplay so it ( hopefully ) controls easeir.

New Section added to the Faq!
If you're ever curious about what it takes to earn tokens or skeleton keys, you can now consult the FAQ. This goes into detail on just how many kills you need after death for tokens, along with how those elusive skeleton keys can be earned more than once. The FAQ is still nowhere near done.. As previously mentioned I'll do my best to update it whenever I can.
