Commanders!
We have some important news about the release of Zoria: Age of Shattering. Over the past few weeks, we've been rigorously QA testing the game to ensure it's ready for release. However, our latest tests indicate that the game will not meet our satisfaction level by October 5th. Therefore, we must delay the launch by a few weeks. We understand that this may be disappointing news, but we believe that taking this extra time to test and refine the game will ultimately result in a better experience for all of us. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Your anticipation and excitement for the game have been a constant source of motivation for us, and we're incredibly grateful for your support.
Fighting with bugs
For the past few weeks, we've been collaborating with an external QA team, who have reported over 280 issues to us. While most of these are minor, our small team of three people, including one programmer handling most of the issues (poor Gabi), finds this number too significant to be sure that by October 5th, we will be able to deliver a game that we can confidently deem as a finished product.
Therefore, our primary focus for the upcoming days will be intensive QA testing to determine precisely how many more weeks of additional bug fixing we require.
Working on balance
In addition to bug fixing, we're also working on enhancing the game's balance to provide you with a smooth experience. It involves careful adjustment of character and item stats and giving a second look at all the effects, etc.
Ultimately, thorough testing is the key to delivering a game that meets your expectations and our high standards. We still need a bit more time to finalize the game and accurately determine a new release date. Stay tuned! We are doing our best to make it worth the wait.
The new demo
We recently launched a new demo, and we strongly encourage you to play it and share your feedback. A questionnaire will be available after you finish the demo, and we'd love to hear your thoughts.
In the upcoming weeks, our representatives will attend PAX West in Seattle and WASD in London. We'll demonstrate the demo and gather last-minute feedback before we wrap up production.
We are dedicated to regularly updating you on our progress. You can always find us on Discord or Twitter/X. Please keep an eye out for further news. Thank you for your continuous support and understanding.
Until next time,
Tiny Trinket Games
