Warcube Patch Notes — July 21, 2020
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Hiya Friends! 👋
Thanks for being patient with me these past few months, I wanted to give a quick status update to let you know that I'm alive and cranking along :D My hope is that I'll be able to do one of these every week or so showing off or at least talking about progress, because otherwise I turn into a hermit💪
Live view of me these past few months
Let me answer some quick questions I've gotten! ✍
Are you alive?!
In short. YES!
Is... is... is the GAME alive?!
YES! Though I have been slow because I've had the lucky opportunity to kick off a super secret project at the company I work at... more on that later 😉
So then what's going on...?
I'm working on reworking the backbone of the game, this will really end up changing how the game is played so much, and I'm starting with the map. Currently the map is this sort of vague hodge podge of exploration and wannabe sandbox style gameplay with a shaky form of progression. I'd like to shift it to something a little bit more clear, so whether you play for 10 hours straight or pop in every couple months you'll know exactly what to do.
At it's core, the stages are going to be a bit staggered, where for example in this picture, you own the blue, and the white zones are levels ready to be played, and the red ones are levels you are not able to play yet. Of course you can still explore around some portions of the map that are not locked by a geographic reason (such as a bridge that gets raised once you take over the location), but by and large the map will "slowly" open up vs. always be open like how it is now. Also, worry not, there will still be secret locations 😉
My hope is that changing the map will help me create a process for more objectively working on the game 💪
Next post will be about tentative changes to how armies and NPC's work ✨
What do you think of the potential changes to the map? Like, disklike, indifferent? Let me know! As well as any questions or topics you'd like me to cover! 😁
Cheers,
craigz
