Hello, each other-world-survivors! I’m Ghost from Rolling Studios.

First of all, I’d like to thank you all for supporting me and our art designer ‘Succulent Plant’! It’s been almost 1 month since the game was released, and I’d like to do a little recap, talk to you all about what’s been going on lately, and post some plans.

We’ve received a lot of comments, suggestions, bugs and feedbacks on the game experience since the launch of the Early Access version, and we apologize for the bad experiences that the old versions has brought you, but at the same time, we’re very grateful that we’ve been able to get the support and tolerance of all the Early Access version players, thank you all!

Recently, we maintain a daily update rhythm, we’ve done bug fixes, difficulty adjustment, gameplay content adding up, game experience optimization and other works, which includes the operation experience enhancement of Elena, lower down game difficulty, remake the adaption of controller , the new gameplay mechanism witch allows players to edit the rule of the Barrels’ item droping.

In order to bring you a better game experience, we will try to modify the game’s basic gameplay rules, and nearly half of the content will be pushed back and redone. The whole redoing process will likely last 15-20 days or longer, but we will make sure that we have been working hard for this game and we will do our best to finish the redo as soon as possible. More new gameplay, new skills, new relics, new battlefield props, new achievements, etc. will continue to be added and improved after the remake is complete. It is possible that the current version of the update will be suspended during the redo, but bug fixes will still be made.

Currently, an “Overtime Protocol” gameplay mechanism is available to enrich your gaming experience.
The “Overtime Protocol” allows players to extend their game time (up to 10 times) by clicking on the “Overtime Protocol” after 12 minutes of survival, which does not conflict with the “Challenge of the Dominator”. There are no achievements for “Overtime Protocol” for now, as it is a temporary addition and may be removed after the remake is complete.

Below is a summary of the recent changelog.

Follow-up development plans:

As a newcomer of game developer, I have only a development plan within our studio, which is usually not open to the public, because the program development is only by myself, and once something happens at home, or when I’ve got some healthy issues, the development progress will be greatly affected.
However, for the love of game development and strict requirements of many players for the game, and their support for the game’s concept and gameplay design, I feel that I must improve the game as soon as possible, and I cannot let them down, so I will simply announce the update plan as follows:

-Continue to fix bugs that affect the flow of the game.
-Optimize some of issues that many players have complained about.
-Modify unreasonable numerical issues and possibly redo some numerical designs.
-More characters, more character drawings and graphic representations.
-Change the current classic survivor mode to waves gameplay with certain characteristics.
-Remake the access to skills and abilities so that players can grow quickly.
-Remake the relic system so that it can be more compatible and interesting with the revamped wave play style.
-Possibly adding a feature that allows players to “remodel” skills they’ve already acquired, so we’re looking forward to that.
