Hello friends!
Now that the early access version has been launched it’s time to share with you our plans about the future development of Super Cane Magic ZERO.
Consider this thread a quick explanation of our Trello board for those of you who prefer the good old plain text.
We have three short term goals, that include the changes and new features we’re going to develop in the next couple of months.
Consolidation of the content
To be completed in a few weeks
Fix major and minor bugs
Upgrade enemy AI system
Improve loot system and game progression (difficulty scaling with loot)
Volcano Tileset improvement (new tiles, improved visuals)
More content
Likely to be developed in a few months
More rooms for the challenge mode
Upgraded level generation (secret and locked doors)
Late October, planned for Lucca Comics and Games 2015
Tileset 2
New enemies
New bosses (Story mode area 1, 2)
NPCS
Remember that story mode chapters are going to be part of the early access process, no extra purchases will be required!
