After an entire summer in the oven, we're taking the development to the next stage. I'd like to thank everyone involved for their hard work and dedication in completing the update, developers and players alike. There is still a lot of work to be done but we're all committed to making this an exciting action game. The main goal of the current stage of development is to finalize all gameplay elements and the Rivals mode. To be able to achieve this in the next few months, we've limited the game area to the southern districts of the city, Harbor and Tenements. Afterwards, we will start implementing the Co-op and Duel modes before completing the rest of the city. Even though it may seem limited, it is still a rather large area full of objectives, enemies and all 5 progressive phases of Rivals Mode. Moving forward, we will increase the frequency of the updates to once every two weeks for the game, and once a week for the beta. Now that we have almost all of the systems in the game, our implementations will be short and bulk updates to fix existing problems and to increase performance and stability of the game as soon as possible. Last but not least, the issue of price. It was kingofcats who asked if there was going to be a sale anytime soon and we felt it necessary to answer this question properly. Pricing a game in Early Access is always very difficult. It has to have a balance between supporting the development, setting a worth to the final product and reflecting what is available currently. We've put a lot of thought into this, and decided to go into a 25% discount to reflect the fact that we've closed major parts of the city, and we still need to polish what is available in the store. I have to stress the fact that this is not the first in a long string of ever increasing discounts. The price will increase gradually to its former amount as we finalize the features of the game, and as we get closer to release, it will surpass the Early Access price. We're not taking this approach because we're greedy. Setting a price range also gives us a bar of quality to work towards, and we will make Monstrous a game that has the production quality to match its price range. As always, thank you for your support :)
