Hello there everyone!
It’s been some time since we last wrote. Rest assured, the Voxies team has been here, packing each week with activity and progress. After a short hiatus, Dev Diaries are back! And will be here for you on a more regular basis.
So with that, let’s dive in!
Growth in our game development team continues as we welcome a new Unity Developer and new energy into our project. This week we were putting the finishing touches on new character animations and the Placement UI and flow are now nearing completion, promising a more intuitive and engaging experience for our players. We've taken a significant leap in gameplay by refactoring Move and Attack Actions for local computation, and we've begun integrating Skill Actions, adding a new layer of strategy to the game.
Our current game version was improved this week when we added support for upcoming items that will be released in our updated forge recipes enhancing the crafting experience and bringing back new utility to the top end of the forging recipe tiers - stay tuned for exact details on the new 'legendary' recipes soon. Post-Halloween “Fright Night” Event, we're diligently squashing bugs, refining ward and other elemental resistance items, and tweaking UI elements to ensure a seamless experience. These improvements are all about enhancing current gameplay.
In game design, we spent some time this week revamping designs for the Party Roster. An audit of the Class Pages online has also been started in partnership with the marketing team. Our focus on Class breakdown info pages, Narrative Design, and an expanded list of Skills/Abilities will enrich the game's depth when launched.
A key focus of the economy this week has been the monetization viability and market and benchmark analysis that we’ve been conducting. As the winter holiday season approaches, we're also finalizing new and special events for the forge. More to come here!
In web development, we worked on several bug fixes, updated the API v2 documentation and launched a new relist feature for the Voxies Marketplace that is set to make the user experience more dynamic. We also spent time this week getting the forge recipe ready for the Godly Blueprint Reveal Event and have started work on a new Questing platform for a marketing partnership forthcoming.
Our marketing team was active preparing for the Godly Blueprint Reveal Event this week. The November Community Newsletter and our Voxie Tactics Dev Diaries were also a couple key activities for the week, aimed at offering players a peek behind the curtain! With an upcoming update to the Voxies website and a refresh of the Voxie Tactics branding and art, we're busy with improving and implementing new content and visuals.
As we continue to build and execute new items each week, we're committed to sharing more with you. Stay tuned for more dev diary updates as we move along!
