With regard to future updates, we are currently in the process of restructuring our development roadmap to reflect the many requests we’ve received from our users since the Early Access release.
■Development Schedule
First off, we’re prioritizing consideration and implementation of requests and adjustments related to the “enhancement of freedom”.
We also plan on adding a wide variety of features and functions to help further simplify and diversify the game creation process, such as the widely-requested functions for action-RPGs and a “roguelike” theme focusing on random generation features, and more.
Additionally, in order to further reduce the processing load for the player, we are also currently considering a large-scale overhaul to ensure that we can provide the smoothest and most comfortable experience possible.
Of course, in the meantime, we’ll be implementing other updates based on user feedback as well, specifically focusing on improving UI usability and general improvements for beginners in particular. We’re looking forward to receiving even more feedback from our users in order to continue improving and enhancing both the software itself and the user experience.
We apologize for the ongoing wait for the full release, but we hope you can bear with us. In the meantime, look forward to all kinds of new and cool updates and additions to Pixel Game Maker MV!
