As The Bloodline continues to grow, I want to take a moment to thank everyone who has offered feedback, reported bugs, and shared ideas over the past months. Your input has shaped the game more than you know—and it's helped redirect the path of development going forward! I think you all will love and agree with this (: The new development theme going forward will be a strong focus on refining and strengthening existing systems, areas, and content. Rather than spreading my efforts too thin, I’ll be diving deep into what’s already in place. Tightening mechanics, filling in lackluster elements,  improving clarity, and making the experience as polished and cohesive as it can be.[/p][p]To be clear, that doesn’t mean development on new content is stopping. Kingdom 3 has already been cookin’ for quite some time, and it’s still on track to release—likely before all the above-mentioned goals are finalized. I believe this will actually benefit the game’s flow, giving players a substantial chunk of new content to enjoy while I continue improving the foundation beneath it. The Kingdom 3 update will also push the goals listed above.[/p][p]To make this possible, we've adjusted the production schedule a bit (huge thanks to 505 Pulse for their flexibility and support. I couldn’t ask for a better team to be supporting production of the game), and I’ve re-prioritized development tasks with long-term AND shorter-term goals in mind. Some of these changes might not be immediately visible, but they’re vital for reaching the quality bar I want to hit for the eventual release of 1.0, which will only come when I feel the game is in a polished state. [/p][p]As many of you know, The Bloodline is developed by me alone, which means things can sometimes take a bit longer than we all wish. That said, I’ve recently brought on some help to speed up progress on a few highly requested elements of the game, and that support is already making a difference. I’m committed to upholding the promises I’ve made as reasonably as one can (from major features to polish and performance), and I’ll continue pushing forward with care, clarity, and the same passion that’s fueled this project from the start. I love The Bloodline with all of my heart and I hope that the soul of the game continues to shine through. [/p]
