Dear Stormworkers,
It's announcement week!
Next week we will release a minor update, with several important fixes and reworks.
In the coming months we have minor updates planned every other week as usual, as well as the next major update in development and testing, but still a couple of months away.
Over on the Stormworks Discord server, we have been working on the meta-gamification, and our Stormwoofs bot now gives a variety of roles automatically to players based on play time and workshop subscriber count.
Users who have associated their Steam account with their Discord account (by using the /verify command in our Discord server) can now check their playtime and subscriber count using the /stats command! The bot will update your stats every couple of weeks, and gives out the Stormworker role to players with 1000 hours play time. Other roles are available for 2K, 4K and 8K hours, and creators also get various creator roles for 25K, 100K, 500K, and 1M subscriptions on the workshop!
There are some huge numbers here, with Sebastiaz holding the top creator role, while several others are very close to hitting the 1M mark. The kinds of numbers that many creators are achieving is truly remarkable, with many having more subscriptions than copies sold of the game!
While we are enjoying rewarding players for their achievements, it is just a bit of fun, and a side project to the main focus of development. However, if you have ideas of how you would like to see us improve these meta-game elements, please do let us know!
Catch you next week for the update!
Much love <3,
The Stormworks Developers
