Hello GLM friends and supporters!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Things have been quite busy as we furnish Quarterstaff with more art, animation, and story. We\u2019re working hard toward the finish line, and we\u2019re so excited to show you what we have in store!<\/p>\n
Today, I want to highlight something that\u2019s been in our build since the very beginning. Part of why we released Quarterstaff for Early Access is that we wanted our players to give us feedback throughout development. This could be anything, from the smallest typo to the biggest progression-blocking bug.<\/p>\n
This Feedback button is here for you. It loves you. It thinks you look lovely today. This is how you can share your complaints, concerns, compliments (?), or whatever else you like):<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_3″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_3″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/genericlakemonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/feedbackbutton.png” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”feedbackbutton” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_3″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]
I admit, Feedback is a temp icon, but it\u2019s at full power. This is the quickest way to drop us a line about anything you experience while playing the game. Need some more specifics? It\u2019s at the top left of the UI, as indicated here:<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/genericlakemonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/feedbackmap.png” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”feedbackmap” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]
If you click it, you\u2019ll get a dialog box where you can describe any bugs, issues, or gameplay mechanics that you\u2019re struggling with. We were surprised at how few people have used this tool, but really pleased with what we\u2019ve received. Submitting this form is sending your comments through a direct line to our developers!<\/p>\n
We review each comment or suggestion and determine whether it\u2019ll make the game better or not. For example, this probably won\u2019t be helpful to us:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cADD GUNS AND BLOOD. KTHXBYE!\u201d <\/i><\/p>\n
Since our game is blood-free and the protagonist is an ardent pacifist, this doesn\u2019t help.<\/p>\n
However, take a look at this feedback, which is some of what we\u2019ve received:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThe preview pane for the spells seems to be glitchy or slow. It looks like it’s going to show what the spell does, but there’s very little movement\/changes. Spent awhile clicking different ways to try to see it and ultimately realized it was just slow\/stuttery.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
This is excellent. It made us evaluate Quarterstaff\u2019s performance and shows us how we can improve the player experience.<\/p>\n
Sometimes our players\u2019 feedback will rhyme beautifully with what we\u2019re already discussing, which speeds up our implementation of these fixes! When in doubt, just hit that feedback button \u2013 you never know, it may have already been on our minds and your comments are the push we need to get it done quicker.<\/p>\n
As the producer on this project, I endorse these little \u201cpushes\u201d to speed up fixes.<\/p>\n
Oh, and another thing \u2013 just so you know, our Feedback button is anonymous<\/b>. That\u2019s right \u2013 we won\u2019t know who sent us which comment, so you should feel free to tell us what you really think of this game. We\u2019re eager for feedback and welcome any suggestions that you think would make Quarterstaff a better game to play!<\/p>\n
As always, be kind and respectful. Please remember that we\u2019re a company of human game developers. We want constructive feedback to make our game better \u2013 abusive language will be systematically ignored and deleted.<\/p>\n
Besides, if you want to bully us, you should do it on Twitter like a REAL<\/b> fan!<\/p>\n
For your convenience:<\/p>\n
