Alpha 1.0 Survey Impressions | Plans Moving Forward

[Wizz]

This is a summed up version of our survey results, highlighting the things we need to improve on the most.

 

- Customization - 

Feedback was pretty positive, meaning that we will be directing our attention away from customization and to other more urgent systems. This doesn't mean that we will be ignoring customization altogether, we will be slowly adding more options for unique styles. 

 

- Combat -

The general impression is that it's hard for practical application because of how easy it is to evade attacks. To improve on this, we will be looking to change the movement speed values while also exploring other solutions like lock-on targeting and homing projectiles.

Another thing made clear to us was that the controls were somewhat confusing and impractical. With improvements, we also plan to make a tutorial-type introduction to the combat mechanics with visual indications. In the near future, we will be working on implementing key-bindings to make this process more customizable.

Ninjutsu was by far the most well received part of combat, while Taijutsu was the least well received. We will be working on allowing more freedom of movement while cutting down on animation-lock times. We are also exploring the idea of animation canceling, but more on that in the future.

There isn't much to talk about stats. We can't precisely balance things before we reach character progression phases, in which we can properly evaluate time and effort spent in relation to power gain from each stat point. Expect us to always fine-tune this system in Alpha 1.

Animations and Visuals were well received, so not much will change in the way we work in this department. We have a lot more spells incoming, so stay tuned for that.

 

- User Interface -

This was by far our least popular feature, and rightfully so. We ask you to understand that we have no UI/UX designer on our team so we might not be able to compete with AAA-level games in this particular field. Even so, we will be trying out new looks and ideas, so expect this to improve with time. 

 

- Graphics - 

Graphics feedback was pretty positive, but with that said we still aim to improve, especially in the settings department. We will be working on resolution and graphics quality settings in the near future. 

 

- Lag and FPS-

We are aware of the lag spikes and fps issues, this is something that we will be spending a lot of time working on. We have had some hosting issues, but we expect to resolve that in the near future.

As for the fps drops, we will go through all of our systems and try to optimize them as much as possible. As stated above, we will also work on graphics settings to allow players with more decent setups to play with no issues.

 

- Consensus -

The majority of you wanted us to focus most of our attention to combat, with optimization and UI in the second and third place. We hear you, so we will be spending a lot of time on these features. 

 

- Final Notes-

Overall, we are happy with how the first testing phase went. We got a lot of constructive feedback from you, and we also found a ton of bugs which we have to fix.

Again, we want to thank everyone who took their time to participate in the testing phase, as well as the survey. We plan on making these after every patch, so we will be counting on your support again in the future!

 

Kind Regards,

Staff Team
