Studio Astronauts released several new short videos demonstrating the gameplay of the shooter Witchfire… The videos have been published in a new development report.
The authors noted that the production of the game is progressing well and one of the goals achieved was to conduct the first playtest with colleagues from the industry, which allowed the team to determine the appropriateness of the difficulty level.
“Witchfire is supposed to be a tough game, but we’ve been doing it for so long that we can’t be objective about its complexity. Developers have a natural tendency to make their games difficult because they know their systems from the inside out and play them every day. So if the project is difficult for the creators, it is usually twice as difficult for the players … until the playtests show it and everything is properly rebalanced for the final release. “
For the past two months, the team has also been active in improving lighting. In a blog post, the studio explained that the playtest allowed them to identify and fix some lighting problems, but work in this direction is still not completed, and many things still need to be improved.
It’s too early to talk about when Witchfire will be released. There is still a lot of work ahead, according to the studio.
