Development update
Hey everyone!
First I just want to give a big thank you to everyone who has played, shared Necesse with their friends, and given feedback. When I released it into early access, I saw it as a blank slate to build a game with and for its players. Your feedback is what has shaped this game into what it is today and I plan to keep that formula for a long time to come.
I still read all the feedback submitted from inside the game, on the Steam forums, on Discord, and all the Steam reviews. I don't respond to everything, but I do read it all. So don't hold back or forget to leave a review!
I try to do an update about every month. But as you have probably noticed it is now well over a month ago since the last one, where I also teased what is coming. Instead of releasing a minor update while working on the larger one on the side, I decided to focus on this one and it is currently progressing faster than ever. But since I will need a bit longer to complete it, I wanted to post this development update.
I will keep it short, but here are some of the things you can expect:
New biomes
Currently, there are 2 new biomes including bosses. I would like to get at least 3 in the update before release.
New biome progression
The way you get to and progress through these new biomes is completely new. Sometimes there are missions with objectives for you to complete.
New gear progression
Separate from enchantments, you will be able to upgrade your weapons, trinkets, and armor stats and abilities.
And other improvements and changes like in previous updates.
Other news
We recently reached a few milestones: 5.000 Steam reviews, 10.000 Discord members, and over half a million of you have tried the game. I honestly can't thank you enough, as it's truly a dream come true to be able to work on a game like this for you to enjoy.
Recently I started working with a music producer for an original soundtrack. This is still going great and soon I will also be getting a programmer and artist on board to work on the game as well. You probably won't see a result of this instantly, but the plan is it will pay off in the long run.
And lastly, the game is currently on sale, part of TactiCon. If you are still considering getting it or have a friend you are trying to convince, now is a great time!
That's it for now. Thank you all for playing!
