Hi all,
We just wanted to put up a quick post about what our focus for the game will be as we start the new year
In 2015 we plan to dedicate a lot of time to make Fallen Sword the best it can be. This isn't an extensive list, but here is what is on the cards initially:
Complete the existing roadmap
We're a little (ok a fair bit) behind on the current roadmap. We're going to focus on getting it finished early in the new year before we then look at working out a new roadmap with the community to help decide the focus of the future development.
Fallen Sword App
We feel it's about time that there was a Fallen Sword App available for smartphones and tablets. We've already started work on this and we'll keep you updated on the progress regularly in the new year. We've dabbled with this in the past, but this time we're developing a fully functional app with an interface designed specifically for touch that will let you play the game on the move.
We'll also be looking for players who are interested in beta testing it as we get further into the development of it. Note we are designing the app to work on iPhone, iPod, iPad, Android Phones, Android Tablets and hopefully more!
New Roadmap
We'll focus on finish the current roadmap, but as we come towards the end of it we'll reach out the community to work together on what the next roadmap should look like.
PvP Ladder revamp (PvP Tournaments)
The PvP Ladder in it current format sucks (there I said it!). We're going to implementing an awesome new PvP Tournament system to replace it. We'll give out more details of this in the new year along with when we expect it to be ready to take part in.
New Buffs!
FSHelper features + improved interface
We're going to work on implementing all the useful features from the FSHelper into the game while also reviewing the current interface to see where it could be made more intuitive. Zorg had a good idea about this whereby add a normal and advanced mode. Normal mode will hide some of the more advanced UI that may either be irrelevant or confusing for new players.
The team will be back in the studio on the week commencing 5th Jan and in the first week we'll get getting together to discuss the above as well as other improvements we'd like to get into the game which we'll then share with you on the forum.
We think 2015 is going to be a great year for Fallen Sword and we'd like to thank everyone playing for being part of the community
