Hey everyone,
We've been REALLY quiet around here recently, and I apologize for not keeping you all posted on what's been going on behind the scenes here. So I decided to take a few minutes to provide an update on what we've been doing.
Well, we've got a new developer on our team, which is nice. You'll get to meet him later on in the development phase, right now he's just a behind the scenes guy.
How's NW2 going? Pretty solidly. We've almost completed the design of the combat system and we're about half-way through the "Stealth" system as it's being called right now. We've got a lot of changes big and small in combat, skills, and death that will really change the feel of the game.
We're also working on a new testing system. The idea is that our players are our best testers, as we've seen. We can't possibly come up with a test for every bug and still keep new updates coming out in a timely manner. So, we're building a system that will allow players to join the test server and approve or reject new updates based on your bug testing. Our hope is that this will reduce the amount bugs that go live and bring more players closer to the game.
We're also trying to get some cool ninja artwork to add to player profiles, developing some fair and balanced options for paid memberships, redesigning the interface, making clans more fun and important, and make the whole feel of the game more immersive while keeping it simple and fun.
Well, that's a little update for you all. I'll keep you posted as we keep moving forward.
