Last Regiment DevBlog and Patch Update– The 4th of July

Chris is in Singapore and introduced to us a little bit about Boomzap’s physical VR office before proceeding into the recent updates. Aside from that, he also announced that he will be at a convention in Hong Kong (PocketGamer Connects Hong Kong, July 17 and 18). So, we hope to see you there. If you like to arrange a meeting with us on those dates, let us know the soonest in Facebook and Twitter!

Now onto the stream highlights. We are happy to say that the last few weeks in getting the game ready for Early Access were awesome: it has become more fun and challenging. As the days go by, our beta just keeps getting better and better as we took all the feedback we received and got everything balanced out.

Chris reminded about one important note that our Discord server member Helios mentioned that “the game felt clunky” and because of this feedback, this got the team into a lengthy conversation on what must be taken out and modify. The rest of the stream shows us a simple Skirmish gameplay as Chris explained the recent changes that were implemented on the beta.
