📢 Early Access Roadmap - Content Update Teaser! 💎

Many of you have been asking what’s coming next in Crystalfall.

We are excited to reveal this teaser for our upcoming content update which is currently in development and planned for early summer. We have a bigger announcement coming closer to the day, so see this as the “announcement of the announcement”.

For now, what we can say is that our first content update will bring new content both to the main campaign and endgame as well as some QoL improvements. We are also continually working on bug fixes and improvements to balancing and performance.

Rest assured we are always listening to feedback and will continue to make changes and fixes throughout Early Access. We hope you’ll stick around for the ride, because we’re not giving up on our community and we will continue to improve Crystalfall.

A big thank you to everyone who is supporting us by sharing feedback, reporting issues and helping other players. We appreciate all the kind words and suggestions and are striving to get back to as many of you as we can.

We have addressed some of the discussion points that have been coming up in a pinned discussion thread on Steam.

We look forward to welcoming you into the third weekend of Early Access and wish you all a happy weekend.

See you on the leaderboards, and may the loot be with you.

All the best,
CRG

These were a fascinating couple of @PlayCrystalfall hours.
About the game:
We're given a choice of three classes:
-mage and shooter (ranged combat)
-warrior (melee combat).
Then we're sent to training where they explain how to use skills, consumables, improve skills, change gear, and how to improve skills in the talent tree.
After completing the tutorial, we head out into the world where we kill monsters, farm gear and levels, craft and combine.
I'd add a bit more difficulty to the mobs because it was too simple for me, at least.
Though I understand this is just the beta and everything's ahead. Waiting for the next demo.

Of course, I'm not strong at creating subtitles yet (because my conversational English has been limping lately, and with regular subtitles, it seemed like nothing would change), but I hope everything gets fixed in the future.😄

It's been a fantastic and busy week for us at CRG, having the Demo in your hands to share your feedback on - feedback that we are ever grateful for and take very seriously. It is with your help that we can continue to improve Crystalfall.

With SNF at an end, we will now begin to dive into all the feedback and see which action points to take.
