Development update 4/11/2014

Post by Nacho84 »

Hello guys,

I hope you're doing well and that you're enjoying the game. We appreciate the feedback you've been leaving at the forums. Unfortunately answering to every single post would take me the whole day, so apologies if I leave some of them unanswered. However, rest assured that I monitor the forums on a constant basis. Even though the game is now released, we're still working on an update in order to address some problems we didn't manage to finish for the release, plus some other issues that have been reported on the forums.

Regarding the tooltips: to be honest they weren't much of an issue during the Early Access Program (EAP), so we (wrongly) assumed they were not needed. As some players rightly pointed out, new features and game mechanics were introduced in a steady fashion during the EAP, giving early adopters the opportunity to learn the game in a more progressive fashion, and that's probably why we didn't get any loud requests for them. Lesson learned, we'll surely apply it in future developments. In the meantime, we've already added support for tooltips and we'll include them in the next update, see the pics below.

We're also working on localisation to French and German. This is well underway, the only missing text are the tooltips that I've added yesterday, which still need to be sent to the translators. See a pic of the German version below.

Lastly, we're working on supporting non-widescreen resolutions. Being such a UI heavy game, this is a bit more involved, but we're nearly there on this front as well.

The plan is to release a patch sometime next week. In the meantime, please bear with us if you find any issues and report them at the forums, so that we can look into them.

Cheers,
