Steam Next Fest
The Steam Next Fest came and went, and it was actually quite good! The demo was downloaded a whooping
6960 times, out of that we've had
221 unique players check out the game and our wishlists jumped from 170 to
417! And the Godot Engine devs and community manager checking Starveil out on the last day of the next fest was certainly quite unexpected! You can check out the VoD
here.
Thank you all who gave Starveil a shot, we will continue working on it, improving it and getting the word out there, it is a marathon, not a sprint :)
As Valve recommends, we will keep the Demo up for a while afterwards, and then we'll see what the next course of events is, we will definitely keep you up to date on that.
Patch 0.11.1.0 Notes
Now that we've recovered from the Next Fest and general life being a bit busy recently, we've also released a small patch.
- All windows that have a list of items (Character, Trade, Dismantle) had the item list reworked and unified. In practice this means all those windows now have an item list that is sorted alphabetically and can be filtered by item type or searched for by name.
- This has been something the community has been asking for for a while and we've finally been able to deliver. Hopefully this makes it much more pleasant to find the right items to equip, trade and dismantle.
- The Character (Tab) window has been redesigned slightly to match our original design.
- The Help (F1) window no longer pops up automatically on log-in
- Unfortunately, we've only realized on the last day, during the Godot stream, that this is probably the reason why a lot of people download the game, make a character and then immediately log out. Our theory is that they saw a window that couldn't very obviously be closed (you have to press Esc) and that blocks movement, and thought it was a bug. We'll definitely be working on improving the "new player experience" to make sure more people give Starveil a chance.
