Samuel, Community Manager, and recently-turned developer, has been sharing exciting updates over the past few days, confirming an upcoming Easter event, a significant team expansion, and insight into future game updates. Here's everything we've learned.
In a post onΒ π, Samuel hinted at some creative frustrations, jokingly lamenting, "I've been told that I'm not allowed to be an artist on the team! π"
The next day, he took to Reddit to confirm that an Easter event is on the way, bringing new, limited-time, untradeable rewards. Unlike past events that passively granted items over time, this event will involve more active engagement. Samuel also reassured players that this time, the event's start and end dates will be clearly communicated in advance.
The development team is preparing for a major expansion, nearly doubling in size. They're moving into a larger office space within the same building, with the transition starting next week. Alongside the move, they plan to hire four new developers and two artists, significantly boosting their capacity to deliver content. Samuel emphasized that with this expansion, players can expect content updates to ramp up in frequency.
Once the combat rework is complete, the next major focus for the team will be implementing a trading system. While details remain scarce, this marks a significant development for the game's economy and player interactions.
In a lighthearted exchange, Samuel shared the favorite pancake flavors of some key team members:
An interesting side note surfaced about Andrew's approach to community engagement; he reportedly avoids Discord servers and likely stays away from social media in general. Given how overwhelming online negativity can be, it seems he prefers to focus on developing the game rather than engaging in internet discussions.
With an Easter event, a growing team, and major updates on the horizon, it's clear that exciting times are ahead for the game and its community.
