A Little Bit of Everything...

It's been a while since we posted a news update so we felt it is nice to post a small summary of what is going on at Enkord right now.

The last few months since Alpha 2 launched I was investing heavilty into boring tech stuff which eventually allow us to start the total game interface overhaul. I do remember it was #1 complain since Alpha 1 launch and it still was the case for Alpha 2 - all those huge chat and progress boxes that can't be closed or minimized which take away your screen real estate and so on. Trust us, we hear you, it's not just simple to fix, hence the need for a serious tweaking inside the game.

Good news is if we will be able to pull this internal tech overhaul, we will be able to creat ant tweak game interface way faster, reacting promptly on your feedback. Unfortunately this postpones Alpha 3 launch a little bit, but hey, on Alpha 3 we plan to invite more testers than on alpha 1 and 2 combined, so it will be worth the wait!

Meanwhile our artists have been working on Classical Age art. For example on this picture you can see the Wonder you can start building in Classical Age to achieve Wealth Victory (one of the 6 possible victory types). It will have a whopping 100 upgrade levels and will require zillions of resources to build - you will need to be a very wealthy one, hence the victory name.

The testing was also too successful - our resless army of testers provided us a ton of found bugs, I am kinda scared to think how are we going to find the time to fix them all. Keep up the great work! :)

Finally - a small survey on what would you like to see in the Alpha 3 in the first place:

1. Classical Age ready (tech, buildings, units, etc.)
2. New quest locations (Karfaree, Keepers' Village, Ruins of New Kyiv)
3. More random content (things like fishing, random chests and items that pop up from time to time in towns, animals, maybe even small random quest locations).
4. More bugs fixed and overall game tweaking (better interface, fixing existing reported bugs, batter game balance, and so on).

I can't promise results of this survey will make us focus on what the majority will chose as we already have internal schedule, but it will do us a reality check and make us do some adjustments in the future. Please vote for one of those options.
