Happy New Year to you and yours from Generic Lake Monster!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been about 3 weeks since our release on Steam in an Early Access capacity, and it\u2019s exciting to see how the game has been received. One player has already logged a staggering 20 hours into the game and has been exploring every region, mastery objective, and technique.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not saying you should buy Quarterstaff and ignore the rest of your life (bonus points if you have kids), but if that\u2019s what you choose to do, I believe in your right to do it.<\/p>\n
Three regions are available for play right now, but didn\u2019t you know that we\u2019re not done yet? There are three more regions incoming including twelve more battle boards for you to sink your teeth into! While our designer is working hard on these, we\u2019re turning our attention to a glaring omission that I admit, has gone unexplained \u2013 until now.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve bought and played the game \u2013 thank you very much, by the way \u2013 you will have noticed the TRIPLE-G:<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/genericlakemonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/tripleG.png” title_text=”tripleG” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
That is, the \u201cGreen-Gray-Grid\u201d.<\/p>\n
I realized way too late that there was no way for our players to know that this is completely temporary. This battle board art is under construction, so you may rest assured that it will absolutely be changed and improved upon. Soon, you\u2019ll be able to enjoy gazing upon the work of our excellent artists, instead of the TRIPLE-G.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t mean to insult the TRIPLE-G; it has served its purpose well, and even all the greats had to retire at some point. The time to rest will be here soon, TRIPLE-G, thank you for your service.<\/p>\n
We are working hard to create art pieces that can be used to compile beautiful and synchronous textures to beautify our game. There\u2019s a lot of assets to be created, implemented, altered, and reused <\/span>(who said that?), but I\u2019m confident that our team is more than up to the challenge.<\/p>\n We\u2019re fleshing out a large texture library and defining the tone and mood of each region to better express the stories within. Now, when SiggSigg gets grossed out in the Necropolis, it\u2019ll be because of actual slime and edge-lord neglect, not the TRIPLE-G!<\/p>\n Thanks for taking one for the team, TRIPLE-G.<\/p>\n In the past few months, our lead programmer has created an intuitive tool to implement this artwork more efficiently. Not being a programmer, I couldn\u2019t possibly explain the technical aspects here, but just know that he is a wizard, and his works are therefore magical in nature and beyond my understanding.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Soon we\u2019ll be able to implement these textures and show off the hard work that\u2019s gone on behind the scenes these past few weeks, and I can\u2019t wait to share the results with you! I look forward to the day when players can share their instant replays, and TRIPLE-G will be totally absent.<\/p>\n No offense, TRIPLE-G.<\/p>\n Quarterstaff is currently a work in progress, but your support will enable us to level it up to its final form.<\/p>\n Thank you for coming with us on this development journey!<\/p>\n Millie<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Happy New Year to you and yours from Generic Lake Monster!
