Dear players!
The world is now going through a really tough and challenging period of time. However, as you know, the online entertainment industry is booming. We are extremely proud and glad that our work can make your staying at home more pleasant. In the framework of the #PlayAtHomeStandUnited campaign, we have activated lots of bonuses and carried out numerous activities on various platforms. Meanwhile, the development team continued their unceasing work on many interesting events such as
the Battle Pass “Gorgon”, the new “TOP GUN” season that will kick off in the near future, different competitions, heaps of activities in social networks and much more.
Today, we would like to tell you more about the work of our team and share with you difficulties and challenges we encountered when we started our work from home. In addition, we will take a quick peek at the game development plans we are currently implementing.
The Challenges We Faced
The first and the most predictable challenge is a cozy homely atmosphere that hardly has the right vibe for a concentrated work process. No doubt, many of you are housebound with your family members walking in pajamas, while you are making a video call, children who require constant attention, and pets - cats galloping across all kind of surfaces, dogs laying their cuddly paws on your lap or parrots stealing keyboard keys. We can easily relate to all of you. We also miss our friends and colleagues more than ever. However, we have successfully coped with distractions, managed to quickly streamline the workflow and got it up and running.
Technical issues posed the second challenge. Their fix was often beyond our reach since it did not depend on us; for example, increased Internet load, as lots of housebound people went online all at once causing technical problems to local Internet service providers. Our support team, in their turn, received increased amount of complaints dealing with high ping, connection and packet losses. If you have faced any technical issues, be sure to contact our support. They will thoroughly study the problem and help you fix it if it is possible.
Game Development
We have already published the development roadmap for 2020 and a digest of an interview with the franchise producer that provided a more detailed overview of many points. We also try to issue a monthly game update as usual. By the way, the April update will soon go live!
One of the key mechanics the update will bring is
a brand new crafting system. We have put together
a separate article featuring answers to the most frequent questions on the topic. Be sure to check it out! We will carefully analyze your feedback on the new feature and once you get acquainted with the way it works, we will offer you a survey in order to gather your comments and suggestions. It will be extremely important for us. Your feedback will help us make crafting better and more convenient for you!
Apart from that, one of the upcoming updates will feature something really impressive and mind-blowing, though we cannot reveal the details yet. Keep your finger on the pulse of in-game activities – we will be dropping hints.
The development team goes on with their work with the synchronization and movement system. We will keep you updated and will inform you as soon as it is finished.
As we have already mentioned, you are in for yet another “TOP GUN” season. Moreover, various competitions will be held in social networks. Be sure to subscribe to our social platforms, so you do not miss anything.
That's it for now. Our first publication in the format of a behind the scenes blog is drawing to an end. Feel free to share your feelings about it. Would you like to read more articles in such a format?
Take care of yourselves, stay home and see you in game!
