Greetings, Wastelanders! The release date is getting closer and It’s time to share with you our final weekly update. Today, two long-awaited features are being added to the game: a matchmaking system and the shop! But don’t worry: we hate pay-to-win games, remember?
The real challenge begins!
From this week, a matchmaking system will be in place to ensure you always find an opponent with a skill level similar to your own! The good old times of stomping newcomers or being horribly defeated by DrJester are finally over!
Of course, to avoid extremely long waiting times, the system will widen the range of opponents you can be matched with as you spend more time in queue.
However, if you want to be sure to find a balanced match, you can choose to activate the strict matchmaking option. While this can considerably increase your queue time, it will provide you with a fair and challenging match no matter what!
We advise you to use this option only after the game is officially released.
The shop opens
Developing games can be an extremely rewarding task, but while you appreciation can sustain our spirit, we also have bills to pay :P
So, well, ladies and gentlemen, our Shop is finally open!
From the shop you can use Keres Crystals or Diamonds, a new currency that can be bought with real money, to unlock skins or new champions. We want to remark that with the new currency you can NOT buy anything that will give you an in-game advantage and that champions will ALWAYS be purchasable using only Keres Crystals, the in-game currency.
We’re (almost) out of beta, We’re releasing (almost) on time
23 weeks have passed since we started our Early Access. 23 weeks of updates, improvements, reworks, fateful choices and sacrifices to the cruel gods of game development. 23 weeks have passed and now we’re (almost) ready to release the full version of INSIDIA.
Next tuesday, at 10:00 AM CET, we will bring down our servers for some hours, to prepare them for the full launch of the game. At that moment, our Ranked Beta Season will be over and the very top player will find his name forever engraved in our Hall of Fame! When the servers will be back online, all ranks will be reset, and a fresh pre-season will start!
Before moving on, we want to say a huge THANK YOU to our Discord community! We couldn’t have made this game without your help, your passion and your constant support. While everyone of you is special and important for us, we want to express our gratitude to the most active members of the community. So, well, DrJester, Dissolvautr, DaChoir, Megaverage: THANK YOU!
