Friends, we\u2019ve reached that point where our updates only consist of under-the-hood fixes and improvements. All our remaining art updates remain hidden behind the three locked regions, and we\u2019re planning to roll these out in their final form later this summer. Stay tuned for more updates! We\u2019re cooking up something wonderful for these areas, and we can\u2019t wait for you to experience them.<\/p>\n
The most \u201cvisible\u201d update is the text in the Blighted Trail. The writing has been polished and updated to include more storytelling, more characters, and of course, more snark and sass from Guldaeva. We hope you enjoy the new jokes and insults! I know we always enjoy channeling our inner villain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Blighted Trail is absolutely worth another visit, especially if you still have some Mastery Objectives to satisfy. You may find certain objectives easier with particular Spells or Techniques \u2013 I encourage you to explore these more deeply, as the locked regions will bring a whole new set of challenges that may trip you up.<\/p>\n
The most POWERFUL update is our loading times. Our resident programmers worked some wizardry, and suddenly load times are so fast you can\u2019t even read the bonus text! As a result, we\u2019ve also added a \u201cclick to continue\u201d function on those load screens, so you can take your time with these little story tidbits before moving on.<\/p>\n
The performance improvements have been major for me, as I\u2019m able to load into missions much more quickly or restart them if I\u2019ve miscalculated a move. This has been literally life-altering.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve added new sound effects, touched up animations, and fixed a weird bug with the anti-magic zones. Grid lines during the instant replay have been disabled, so you\u2019ll be able to capture clean and beautiful footage of your encounters.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The last improvement I\u2019d like to highlight is our screen-reading accessibility. We\u2019ve received requests to improve Quarterstaff\u2019s compatibility with screen readers like NVDA, and I\u2019m delighted to announce that we\u2019ve made significant progress on this front!<\/p>\n
While it\u2019s not perfect, players who use NVDA as their screen reader should be able to play Quarterstaff successfully. That being said, this functionality is not perfect, so we\u2019re on high alert waiting for feedback or bugs.<\/p>\n
If you use a screen reader to play Quarterstaff, we\u2019re dying to hear from you! Please tell us what isn\u2019t working, and we\u2019ll do our best to fix it as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
For the full list of improvements and fixes, please visit our Steam page!<\/p>\n
Finally, as a side note, we\u2019ll be participating in Turn Based Fest at the start of April. To celebrate all things turn-based, we\u2019ll be having a sale on Quarterstaff, so if you\u2019re planning to buy the game this is a great opportunity! Check out our page on Steam and add Quarterstaff to your Wishlist to be updated about the sale.<\/p>\n
Thank you all for your continued support \u2013 we\u2019ve come so far in the past year, and I can\u2019t wait to show you what we have in store this summer!<\/p>\n
