PAX South has come and gone and my passion has been rekindled! Watching so many people enjoy and show genuine interest in our game felt so awesome! The game isn’t perfect and some people had some valid critiques that we will take into account going forward. Overall, the experience was positive and I can’t wait to show off the next, even better version of the game.

Watching people play, we noticed a few things ourselves that could be improved. On paper, all of the changes we noted seem small, but they all stack up. One of the major things was an update to the UI. Player’s wouldn’t notice that they ran out of daggers or magic till they were all out. We’re looking into multiple designs to improve the UI, but we don’t have anything solid right now.

Outside of fixes, I plan on finishing up updating the closet. The last part I have to work on, outside of reworking the system to take talents into account, is the crafting system. It should be a copy and paste, but I want to make a few reworks to make the system more efficient. Hopefully after reworking all the current systems in the game, I can look into implementing new ones. I made a list of things I would like to add to the game, but I need to pass by the rest of the team before I make any promises. I can say though, that the next major system I would like to implement would be drop in/ drop out co-op for the story mode. Watching people play, it felt like such a simple addition that would enrich the whole game if added. Jackripperz and I tossed around a few ideas and we made a mock up of how the system should work. With the time frame we set, we should have it finished by the alpha so you guys can try it out!
