I know that I've been lax on updates here recently, as I've basically and my nose to the grind stone trying to refine some things and add a few new features.
Steam Trading Cards:
This will probably be the thing that makes its way into the game the soonest, as I've already been working on designs for some time, and is also one of the easiest things to implement. I know people love being able to collect and trade cards, so that's definitely something I want to have in the game.
The Narrator:
The narrator will be a main part of the game, and will follow Sidd on his journey. The Narrator will obviously be a part of Sidd's imagination and so will not only give a look into the mind of Sidd himself, but will also provide some more comedic moments while also helping flesh out more of the story. There will be an option within one of the main menus to turn him off however, if you'd rather not have him around.
Key rebinding:
One of the main issues with the game right now is the lack of being able to customize your controls within the game itself. While not much will change with the controls when it comes to using an Xbox controller, I want to give those of you that are using different language keyboards the ability to make the controls much more comfortable. While the controls are currently programmed with a Qwerty keyboard in mind, this causes a lot of issues for people playing on keyboards without a QWERTY configuration.
Dungeons:
As always, the Dungeons are constantly being worked on. While the 2nd Dungeon is almost near completion, a few things are having to be redone before that can go live. Dungeons are always an on going task and more and more areas will open up within the game as those become available.
Mini/Overworld Map:
Right now within the world of Sword 'N' Board there is no map available to see where you have, and haven't been, or how to get back to important areas. I'm currently working on both a Mini map (that will change based on the area that you're currently in) and a world Map that you can use to see your overall location within the world of Sword 'N' Board.
More randomization:
I've already started adding randomized items within the world that you can use your bombs on to receive more crafting materials and other needed things for your journey. These things will randomize and be different each time you play. Not only that, there will be randomized puzzles as well, to help add some replay value to the game, which will help it during its time in Early Access!
