Quick update

[daggasoft]

Hey everyone, I know it's been quite some time since I've released anything significant for the game. The game launched on January 3rd and it's now a little less than two months later. Since then one update has been published to address some bugs and visual issues with the game. But no new features have been added.

The focus right now is expanding the card library and getting deck building to work. There's been a few reasons for the delay.

1) I havent been paid out by valve for my game sales yet, they have a 1 month lag on that which I wasn't aware of. So I havent received the money I was going to use to buy more game assets. (update: just did!)

2) I was contacted by a VR company that has a prototype for motion controllers that work with mobile VR systems. They wanted me to port my game to use their controls and in return they would use my game to demo at conferences. Seems like some good publicity so I diverted my attention for a couple weeks

3) I really needed a break. Between my day job and this game I can get away with doing 16 hour days during the week and all nighters on weekends for short bursts. I can do that for 2-3 weeks at a time, but I can't sustain it.

So I had to just step back for a bit, recharge. Play hours of hearthstone on end. Get some more ideas and inspiration.

There has been a good amount of work going on behind the scenes that don't translate into exciting feature releases. I've been experimenting with network play. Trying to build a balanced card library on paper. Learning and experimenting with marketing, a new website, etc. I've also signed a license agreement with a virtual reality arcade based out of Canada called CTRL V, which is pretty exciting. So as of march you will be able to play manastorm in any of their locations.

Thanks to everyone for not bringing the torches and pitchforks out in the mean time :) I'm excited to start going hard again.

How are things going with you? Any update on the way in the foreseeable future? Hopefully you can just quit your day job and work on VR games full-time! :-D

Any more news? I really want to buy the game while its on sale, but seems like it doesn't get updated much (which is somewhat understandable as it looks like the dev is a one man show). The price isn't a lot, but it feels bad to throw away money on vapourware if thats what this turns out to be.

Is this game still in development, no patches or anything since March?
