Alderian News (Moving forward...)

Hey guys, 

So, a few important announcements. 

First, we hope you guys will/are enjoying the latest update when you get a chance to play it, it's one of the largest, (if not the largest) updates we've done so far!

For a while now, it's become increasingly apparent to us, (and to our supporters), that we've been struggling to release content updates month in, month out. Aside from the difficulty of trying to produce meaningful content updates every month, another problem has crept in > Simply put, we're spending so much time trying to cram in content updates, we're not leaving enough time for the actual coding work to improve the game, and this current system is simply not working with promised deadlines we're failing to meet.

So, moving forward: We will still be giving monthly updates, however, we will be rotating between tech only updates and content based updates month to month.

What this means is our schedule will look like this:

Month 1 - Tech only update - (The focus is on the code and possibly minor art updates/swaps etc).

Month 2 - Content update - A hopefully significant increase in actual player content, quests and such. 

(This will then rotate back to another tech only update and loop).

We think this release system will prove far more practical in the long-term with our development.

Additionally, we're trialing out a new coder recently, and have re-configured some of in-house management which we hope will help streamline and iron out any issues.

If you have any questions, please ask them here or over on the discord and we'll try answer as soon as we can.

P.S, if/when you play the latest build, please don't forget to delete persistent data in the options menu - It's hard to fix reported bugs which may just be the result of not doing this.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far,

Without your support, none of this would be possible. 

Love,

The Damned Studios Team
