Bastards haven't took over yet


Hello traveler.
Just wanted to give little status update on the game since it got very quite here...while this page seems to be dead, the game isn't. Lately, I just used twitter to communicate some updates on the game. Write detailed information about the development here seemed to be a waste of time. But at least sometimes I should do it.

So what's going on?
A couple of weeks ago there was another public playtest in the stream of malastrus.  Here are some highlights:

The game was well received but the stream also showed me some more conceptual problems which I addressed in the following weeks. Most probelms are fixed now but I also had to struggle with some code for weeks - so I was close to put his project on hold. But I figured it out and development can continue.

Sometimes I question very much how much time I should spend on the project - I don't have much time for it anyway and when it gets more complicated I'm likely to switch to something else and game production slows down. My day job is not that easy, so sometimes I already have enough struggles. And when there is no feedback, it all doesn't seem to matter anyway.

Next features on my road map are power-ups and enemy formations, choose able by the user. Besides that I will always clean up and refactor the code. And then I will slowly prepare the release of the game. I still want to keep the game small to avoid feature creep. And since the interest for this game isn't very high I do not see any reason to spend too much time on it.  But I might work on a follow up game project, if things work out well.

If you want to support/influence the development you can do that via my new created patreon or kofi pages. I would very much 
appreciate it. It would also be a little motivation boost. Exclusive content might follow soon.

So, that's  it for now.
