Hello there everyone! Alex Poysky here. For those of you who don't know me, I'm the Exec. Producer behind Regions of Ruin.
I'm going to go into detail about what we've been up to since launch, but I'll spoiler it in case you just want to get to the patchnotes! As always, you can speak with us directly and hang out/game with us on our discord here https://discord.gg/EH8fEUc , there's a lot to do here, feel free to stop by!
The short of it. WE WOULD NOT BE HERE WITHOUT YOU. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making this a reality!
I may be the face of the operation but that does NOT mean by a longshot that I'm the one you should be thanking for all the hard work being put into the game. Those kudos should be reserved for Stephen Lucerne, the game's Developer, LadyAijou, the Community Manager, PHANGD, our awesome Publisher, the kind folks at HUMBLE, with a very special thank you to John Polson and Jeff Rosen.
It's been quite an adventure so far, and the heartfelt thanks and feedback we have been getting has been humbling to say the least. We are truly thankful to each and every one of you for the support, the thousands of people playing the game in just three days have far exceeded any of our expectations for Early Access.
Brass tacks, as a Producer my role is to estimate among other things, the success we can garner. So far all of my estimates have been broken at least threefold, and I'm having to make adjustments across the board for how to handle that. Mind you, this is a GOOD problem to have!
Without further dilation, let me post the patch notes for this week. Stephen has been working on balance and general polish, so expect next week's update to contain a bit more in the way of content!
