Hello everyone! We just wanted to quickly touch base with you all to let you know how everything is going here at Mountainwheel Studios where we are currently standing.
In terms of game interest we are currently included in over 11,000 Steam user's wishlists. That is an amazing number to hit and we hope to grow that as we push our marketing closer to release. This is an important number for us because it will help us prepare our servers. Please feel free to share with your friends and motivate them to wishlist us.
If you have paid any attention to Stone Rage lately, you will know we had programmer troubles. You may also know that we recently brought on a new programmer. He is working out phenomenally and is really becoming a strong asset for the team. He has fixed a lot of bugs, cleaned up a lot of messy code left over from past programmers, and is helping us implement new features.
Speaking of new features. We are currently working on a leveling system. This is exciting for us because we had not expected to start this feature until after we launched onto Early Access. This is no guarantee that we will have the leveling system ready for when we do launch but we are working on it. More details on this will available in the future.
Now, time for the big news that we really hope will get everyone excited. We will be inviting players to closed testing in April / May. We plan on running closed testing for the entire month leading up to our Early Access release. This is going to help us out on so many levels and will give some of you a chance to peek behind the curtain. Stay tuned as we get closer for information on how this will work!
