Hi everyone! On behalf of the PVKII Team, we hope you are all safe and well during these uncertain times. Thank you PVKII Players new and old! A total of 1,030 of you completed the survey! We are most grateful you took the time to complete it and provide us with feedback on how you feel about the game - and where you want it to go. While the survey wasn't perfect in design, we got a great helping of valuable information as we move towards our eventual 1.0 release! What does 1.0 mean for PVKII? As weve stated in the past, new character classes are a luxury. Meaning, the amount of work and people required to complete them is a huge undertaking for a small team. We are fortunate to have these new ones on the way! And while it has taken us quite a while to develop Bondi, Assassin, and Buccaneer, understand that PVKII is a passion project, we work in our free time, for free. Resulting in wait times between major updates. We feel we can deliver more updates focusing on other valuable features, instead of pouring our time and resources into new characters that bottleneck development. And so we will not be creating new character models beyond these three. But, that doesnt mean we wont see more classes or content. We want to shift our focus to new features that players want, replay value so you want to play more often, and to help sustain we feel we can have 1 to 2 updates a month, regardless of size. 1.0 will mean out of Beta and as feature complete as we can make it. Of course, support and updates will continue after 1.0. Behind the scenes, prototypes and concepts are forming as we look toward the future of Octoshark Studios. In this news update well share with you our survey results, recent developments, as well as media from our partnership with the upcoming, free Steam game Jabroni Brawl: Episode 3!
