This is a big update, that we have been working on for some time now. Time to do a small recap on how this first two months of Early Access went for us:
1. A BIG THANK YOU...
...to all you people who bought the game. Let's be honest - we love creating looterkings, but without you actually spending money on our product we wouldn't be able to continue work on this. And although we had some few critical reviews, the overwhelming majority was very enthusiastic and extremely friendly. This gives us some extra motivation on improving the game and we can proudly say that in these two months the game has changed a LOT!
2. IT NEVER WILL GO AS PLANNED...
This has been so true for our Early Access. When we released the game we thought, we already were near completion of the feature list. Now, two months later, the gameplay has changed drastically. It is more versatile and tactical while at the same time not being too hard for starters, but also rewarding for people playing it a while. I know we still have a journey before us, but I feel like having reached a gameplay-milestone with this update. Of course we will continue to tweak values, damages, animations. But the core system now is fun and stable - and we are very happy with it. This is thanks to the people supporting us and giving us valuable feedback!
3. WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS
We are now finally working on level 5. I know this had been our intention when we released, but we quickly learned that balancing and core gameplay had to be addressed beforehand. Now we feel that the time has come to add more enemies, levels and equipment. The objective is to release level 5 with the bossfight as the next big update.
So please stay with us, enjoy the update and continue to send us emails, suggestions and write in the steam-forum. We are very thankful for any interaction and are thrilled to experience this creative development together with you, our community!
Hurrying off to do some lootin'
