Keplerth Development Update: Team Communicates Progress and Future Plans
The development team behind the indie adventure game Keplerth has issued an important communication to the community, addressing recent challenges in engagement and providing an update on their ongoing work. Acknowledging difficulties stemming from limited staffing and language barriers, the team expressed gratitude for the community's support and patience.
In their message, the team highlighted two significant areas of focus in the game's development:
-
Map System Development: The team is actively working on a comprehensive map system that will include GPS positioning, navigation functions, and the ability to mark locations. Given the game’s infinite world, creating a functional map has posed technical challenges. However, the team has recently overcome key obstacles and is currently optimizing the system, with plans to include it in the next update.
-
Story and Achievement Systems: The developers are also concentrating on enhancing the game's narrative elements and achievement systems, which will incorporate basic NPC functions. This aspect is crucial as it will guide the future direction of Keplerth. Despite the slow pace of progress due to personnel constraints, the team is committed to dedicating significant time and resources to these features.
While the frequency of updates may be slower than in the past, the team reassured players of their unwavering commitment to the game's development. They are dedicated to delivering a quality experience and appreciate the understanding and support from their community.
The Taro Team remains focused on advancing Keplerth and encourages players to continue sharing their feedback through the Steam community.
