Hello all,
A number of you have been asking us about the update that was going to go live around mid summer, so we thought we'd take some time to update you all properly.
Unfortunately, the update kept getting delayed due to technical difficulties. We're currently a team of 2, so anything even remotely ambitious takes us a lot of time to do and test properly.
Not only that, but we've also been giving the player mechanics a boost. One of the most common feedback points we kept getting was that the player felt heavy and unwieldly when jumping. To this extent, we've decided to make the player movement much more dynamic.
This has forced us to redesign the entire game since, with this new update to the player mechanics, all platform positions and anything remotely connected to jumping is horribly out of date and just plain wrong.
We're basically rebuilding the entire game from the ground up, which is why we've been silent for so long. The good news is, everything is getting an overhaul, including the story mode. The bad news is, it takes time.
We won't be giving any fixed dates anymore until the update is fully ready. We have made the mistake in the past of having promised updates and being unable to deliver on time. For that, we apologise profusely.
This next update (whenever it gets published) will contain only the updated Tree of Magic set of levels, with the improved player movement mechanics, amongst other things. The rest of the game will be locked while we rebuild the game, and will be released again progressively in later updates.
Once again, we thank you all for your patience. Please wait just a little longer, we hope it will be worth it.
Thank you all and have a great rest of the week.
TAOCP team
