If you haven't read what's planned for Milestone 2A and 2B, check that out so you can see what's coming up next. This milestone's KDA is measured against the work that was laid out in our Milestone 2 Preview. Assists - Small, incremental improvements that while maybe didn't go according to plan, ultimately will help our success.Deaths - Things we saw, dove for, and ultimately overcommitted on.
Here's how we use these familiar gaming terms: At the end, we like to look back and dissect the good, the bad, and the ugly in a format we call our "KDA" - a sort of scoreboard for our progress. As we discussed in the M1 retrospective, each of our milestones are planned for between 4 and 6 weeks of development time. With that out of the way, let's dive into the retrospective. In-Editor view of the Dryas Elk in KoE Looking Back We’re hoping that in a couple of weeks’ time our issues will be ironed out and Alpha backers can dive in to experience the first moments of KoE. Our next episode of Inside Chronicles of Elyria, which we're aiming to release next week, will provide lengthier details on the Alpha invite process and a firmer timescale. Additionally, getting the Alpha test into your hands means implementing an installer, launcher, updates to our authentication services, and an in-game feedback form, but time spent now will serve us well in the future as we deploy regular updates to the client.
Despite pushing hard, we encountered some key technical issues we’ve had to overcome that have pushed development back by a week or two. With feature-work having officially ended for Milestone 2A and us moving on to bug-fixing and cleanup, it's time for our second milestone retrospective! For those that missed our Milestone 1 Retrospective these are intended as a look back at our previous milestone, and in the interest of transparency, talk in greater depth about the things that worked, the lessons learned from the things that didn't work, and the always important small victories.īefore we jump in, some of you might have noticed that our Alpha invites for Kingdoms of Elyria didn’t materialize at the end of May.
