Hello Hunters,
As we traverse the fascinating world of ZERO Sievert, we feel it's important to reflect on our recent journey, particularly the roll-out of patch 0.31.
Patch 0.31 was a significant milestone for us, bringing in ambitious changes to our codebase, data storage methods, new questlines, and an overhauled faction relation system. However, like any big adventure, there were unexpected challenges along the way.
The transition to patch 0.31 wasn't as smooth as we had hoped, and for that, we sincerely apologise. The patch, unfortunately, introduced more bugs than we anticipated, causing disruptions and some moments of frustration for you, our dedicated Hunters. To stabilise the game and address the most critical issues, we rolled out four hotfixes / patches in quick succession. While these fixes were largely successful, we acknowledge that with each hotfix, a couple of new bugs slipped through the cracks. We take full responsibility for these hiccups and are immensely grateful for your patience and understanding during this time.
The lessons we've learned from this experience are invaluable. The core challenges stemmed from how we approached the testing process for new patches on older save files — it wasn't as comprehensive as it needed to be. Moving forward, we're taking tangible steps to bolster our testing procedures. Not only are we implementing additional safeguards to reduce the chances of such issues recurring, like we did for the latest patch, but we are also initiating small-scale player testing sessions. where a small group of players may have access to new content for testing purposes. For those interested in being a part of this initiative, please DM me (@ericd) on Discord. Moreover, if there are significant design changes in a patch, like with patch 0.31, we will be utilising more open beta testings. This collaborative approach ensures that we can jointly craft a game experience that resonates with all of you.
Your unwavering support, patience, and especially constructive feedback have fuelled our resolve to face and overcome each challenge head-on. As we learn and grow from these experiences, it's your belief in us and commitment to ZERO Sievert that keeps our mission strong. It's you, our extraordinary community, who propels us forward despite setbacks.
Thank you for being a part of this adventure - we can't wait to share with you what we've been working on next.
Happy Hunting!
