PROGRESS
What a week! Wave 1 of the Combat Arena Alpha is live, and it feels like we’re in a whole new world now. It’s been such a thrill to finally show everyone what we’ve been working so hard on!
In case you missed it, here’s the gameplay trailer we released earlier this week:
The team has been working tirelessly to get the alpha ready for wave 2! We’re facing a balancing act between making it available as quickly as possible, and ensuring that new players are getting the best experience we can offer.
We’ve started creating patch notes for new builds of the alpha. They have a nifty spot of their own in our navigation bar for easy access. It’s like mini-newsletters, but more frequent! Because of that, you can expect these bi-weekly newsletters to be more of a brief recap of our general progress going forward.
Anyone interested in learning about the changes made to the alpha so far can find our patch notes page here!
The Skymill account system now handles all of the matchmaking! This made it so that we can really control the full matchmaking process and cut down on the time you're waiting in queues. We also made some speed and security improvements to the account system in general.
COMMUNITY
It was wonderful seeing so many of you on our Twitch stream this past Monday! We hope you had fun getting a first look at our combat arena in action. If you missed it, you can watch the VOD here.
GymLeaderEd kindly invited Rob to an interview about the alpha on his YouTube channel, which you can find here!
Thanks for stopping by! We’ll see you for the next one on December 18th!
