Hey everyone, been quite a hectic time recently between the game, recent holidays and IRL stuff, but with the latest update now out, it's time to talk about about what's next for the game!
The focus of the next updates and Steam release:
As we draw ever closer to launching into early access, we figured it's best to outline what the future updates plans are to hopefully dispel any confusion.
1.) First, an update that focuses on and wraps up a lot of the Mages at the tower of Palam + Finishing Captain's Nyx's content (for now) - For those not interested in the blue-skinned futas.
2.) Secondly, an update that move along the main story, wrapping up ACT 1 and delivering some Regina content (as well as polish to some remaining old scenes and things). Our hope is with THIS update we will be launching into early access.
There may be, dependent on progress and time, an intermitent update between these two to wrap up anything small/missing prior to the launch, but that's dependent upon how we get on.
Technical plans:
Our biggest priority on the coding front right now is to improve combat, this includes making the enemies AI hopefully smarter, allowing the player to transform into his parasite form in combat, as well as getting the perks system to actually affect stats and such.
With the last missing piece of the travel system now in with 0.153, we've now added the last major feature element to the design, and the focus will be on looking inward more to add much more depth to these mechanics.
Other stuff:
Revamps of old art and things are still continuing along nicely, recently, Vala, the librarian girl, has recieved her new sprite. Check her out below!
We'll have more to show here soon...
And one final teaser, while our primary focus is getting out the mages of Palam/Captain Nyx update, we're already doing the prep work for the steam release update, to which, here's the first teaser of the Parasite's homeworld itself...
As always, thank you all so much for your support,
You guys are awesome and without you, this project wouldn't exist!
Love,
-The Damned Studios Team
