Hello everybody
As you know for last couple of weeks we've been running Beta tests for Soulblight. This week we finally warped them up. It's time to summarize it
We run two rounds of test in which participated almost 500 people! We’re still going through the feedback but we’re quite satisfied as a lot of people really enjoyed what we’ve prepared The thing with which we were pleasantly surprised was the replayability. Although the beta test build included only one short level, most of people spend on it way over 1.5h that we anticipated to be the average.
But not all our predictions were so much of the point. Testers found the game to be quite challenging (exactly how we wanted it to be:) )
Although the feedback we’ve received was very positive it also helped us pinpoint few elements worth improving. To give more exposure to our characters in the camp we’ve decided to redesign the way we present the dialogues:
And to allow players to customize the controls we’ve added the control schemes. You can now select the one you like from 2 gamepad schemes and 6 keyboard schemes (2 of which support the mouse)
“Ok, so what's next?” - you ask. Well... with beta tests behind us we start to sail toward the release... but more on that soon
Meanwhile, Cya around

P.S And here's the dev vlog for this week

Before we go into the the main subject of the udate here's the gif for this week
We call thous guys Lost Souls they are the adventurers like you who've lost they're mind in the search of Soulblight.
So yee this week was the first week of our beta tests:)
First of all we had a quick fix update focusing on frame rate issues. If you've been experiencing frame rate spikes and slow downs you might want to update your testing version via steam.
Another thing is the keyboard controls. Some of you who played the game on keyboard mentioned the need of improving controls. I've decided it would be a good idea to have a broader open discussion on that topic with you all. If you have any suggestions on how to improve keyboard controls and would like to take part in the discussion here's the subreddit thread for that:
https://www.reddit.com/r/MyNextGames/comments/7x15r9/soulblight_keyboard_controls_discussion/
That would be all for this week.
Cya Around,

P.S This week vlog will be a little late - I have some camera problems :/

This week's vlog update is a bit late as we're launching Beta Test sign ups today! 
If you don't have a Demo key and would like to help us you can sign up here: https://goo.gl/forms/LUc8gZ8EOSCMQcS62
And what we've been doing this week? As you can see we've been focusing on Menu. Yee yeee I know it is not the most exciting game element but someone smart once told me:
“Game’s title screen is like a first sentence of a book. It’s not a reason anyone reaches for it but it’s vital for drawing people in”
To be honest I’m not sure how true it is I personally am a slow reader and so books are not the medium I’m very comfortable with. But I’ve always been a fan of atmospheric game title screens
And of course here's vLog Update for this week

Hello and Merry Christmas
So the holiday season is almost here. The decorations seems to be everywhere. A little christmas tree even found its way to my basement-office
With the festive season on the horizon we’ve been working very intensely for a last couple of weeks. As you know - we’ve been founded on the kickstarter last month. To once more show our gratitude we wanted to prepare a small christmas present for all of you And so we’ve taken on the task of closing Soulblight Beta before the holidays. Today I’m very happy to tell you - we’ve made it
So what does it mean that we’ve reach Beta. First of all, the backers that chose to support us with Early Seeker Kickstarter Tier or high will be receiving an access to the beta build (I will send out the keys in the moment). Besides that our demo build has received a significant update (It should update automatically via steam)
And here’s the demo change log:
If you’d like to share your thoughts with us on Soulblight - we’re gathering feedback on our subreddit r/MyNextGames
Meanwhile Take care of yourself, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

- The mobility state now increases your parry window
- The combat actions do not scale down when you don’t have enough stamina to perform them
- New spiked boots that you can find and use
