First and most importantly the Future.
The Future.
I'm working on the next update: Patch 1.06.
It's about Character Legacy.
Today games are overbalanced and overly concerned with ensuring players have a similar experience. They pride themselves on closing the gap between veteran and casual. There's no room to be a real snowflake. You only get the illusion of it. You get silly things like skins or cosmetics or achievements to grind. None of which carries real CUSTOM utility. It's stuff to do that's it.
You often get some rewards that seem interesting at first but don't really pay for themselves because you could have re-sought them out before they do. Yet it initially takes so much work to acquire them in the first place. How often, in times like these, have you needed to miserably acquire everything in order to finally enjoy a game? Can such games ever be considered worthy? No matter how beautiful they are, they are a lie.
If utility isn't actually tailored to your character's legacy, what is the point of your character's existence? If there's no point to your characters' existence, what's the point of playing at all?
Gamers deserve better. They deserve to play games and know they are true snowflakes by virtue of their character's existence. To feel special you shouldn't have to grind forever to unlock things anyone else still could.
Gamers deserve to control their fate, NOT brace themselves for pre-scripted experiences determined entirely by permutations of race + class + a few specializations. We should not be forced into pre-prepared content chains that couldn't care less HOW we complete them.
Gamers SHALL RISE UP, and
NEVER be brought down by boring mediocre endings.
The border between reality and video games must be erased, it will be erased!
Ahem.. Also about the Regression I mentioned..
Regression.
You should know i've identified a regression in the save/load system.
If you attempt to do a second load after loading a save, the game hits an error. You'll be stuck at the load screen.
Though i've noticed you can sometimes just hit the load button again and it will force the load to happen.
I'll try to get around to fixing this annoying problem by patch 1.06.
