Russian studio Gfagames shared new details of the MMO shooter PIONER. The developers shared the results of past tests and stated that they do not plan to hold open stages in the next two months. Instead, they will be limited to the current format without granting access to the game from personal PCs.
Thanks to past tests and surveys, the developers have made more than a thousand corrections to the current version of PIONER. Among them: improving the balance of the difficulty of enemies and bosses, eliminating technical problems (bugs, freezes, crashes) and changing the balance of certain types of weapons. All game modules are ready for release, with the exception of the real money store, the arena mode (Team Deathmatch) and the location associated with it. In addition, a number of key mechanics and functionality are being polished and refined.
GFA is currently working on improving the stability of online play in an effort to increase the number of players on a single server mirror. The story campaign and key quest lines are also being polished. Some studio departments have already completed their tasks for the final version of the game and are now working on new ones. Thanks to this, authors will be able to add more content to the release and improve the quality of the content.
As the team explained, the PIONER advertising campaign will begin soon, so players will see content about the game even more often. The studio is currently looking for a community manager to improve interactions with the community.
