What's next? BASIC TRAINING!

Our first monthly update after launching on Steam Early Access will be addressing even more feedback from you! Based on your STOMTS, reviews, posts, messages and Let's Plays we've decided on our next themed monthly update to be: BASIC TRAINING! We'll be introducing skippable tutorials for the somewhat unusual mechanics of the game as well as more advanced time travel and damage avoidance techniques some players might have been missing. On top of that we will also introduce a more elaborate dynamic hint system in case you seem to be in trouble further down the line during a campaign or just want to jump right in. Last but not least we'll tech Kai (and his enemies) even more moves and add proper animations for a lot more of their actions. Besides all that we'll also continue doing all kinds of small changes and additions to improve the game. So keep the feedback coming - it really helps us tremendously in making the game better!

What's the road ahead?

There will be more news to share soon but for now we just want to let you know that we'll keep updating and expanding the game with monthly updates until January 2018 at least - thanks to the support of our Kickstarter backers and Early Access supporters. So there will be more updates coming your way to keep the game replayable, expand and improve it further! As always the more support we get from players the further we'll be able to take this. So please let your friends know if you enjoy the game and if you haven't already consider writing a review on Steam! We'll let you know more about the road ahead once the BASIC TRAINING! update hits at the end of September. Until then have fun with the patch, thank you for your support and keep sending us your feedback! All Walls Must Fall! inbetweengames
