Hey everyone,
I wanted to let you in on some of what's going on at Suncrash.
Alpha 10 progress
One of the bigger changes in this update is a new skills system and level up system. In the new system you will have more control of how a survivor evolves and be able to customize it to fit your situation and playstyle.
As you can imagine, replacing such a core system in the game requires not only lots of development work, but a lot of time put into creating enough content and balancing the system.
We've finished programming this system and most of the other features planned for the update, but are still working on all the content and balancing for these updates.
Hiring a Game Designer
As some of you may know, we're a very small - 2 person - team. It falls on me to take care of programming, content design, balancing, marketing, QA, communicating with you guys, and many other business related tasks.
Unfortunately, doing all this doesn't allow me to spend as much time as the game needs, on game design - creating and balancing content such as items, research, combat, and so on.
So we've decided to expand, and are searching for a game designer to join the team. A dedicated person that will design, balance and test all the different systems, I believe, will provide a great boost to Judgment.
Unfortunately, finding the right person that has the required skills, able to work independently, and is a good fit for the team, is not an easy process. I'm spending much more time than I'd like to on searching, interviewing and testing potential candidates.
Here's a reddit post with more info on what we're looking for, if you happen to know someone interested that would be a good fit, don't hesitate to send them our way.
