Let me explain why were making what looks like such a drastic change. For the last couple of decades most ARPGs have picked one of two approaches: 1) Hard class systems. Games like Diablo or Path of Exile ask you to pick a class upfront and that decision defines your character forever. You can branch a bit within the boundaries designers allow (e.g. Hammerdin in D2) but you cant truly craft your own class - youre always working inside a predefined box."

"Since we released No Rest for the Wicked Together weve now officially given the internal green light to make the new class system the default. Let me explain why were making what looks like such a drastic change. For the last couple of decades most ARPGs have picked one of two approaches: 1) Hard class systems. Games like Diablo or Path of Exile ask you to pick a class upfront and that decision defines your character forever. You can branch a bit within the boundaries designers allow (e.g. Hammerdin in D2) but you cant truly craft your own class - youre always working inside a predefined box."

"Wow - even after the sale ended our sales are still absurdly strong 👍❤ For a long time now we were confident in the quality of No Rest for the Wicked. Internally we felt we didnt have a quality problem - we had an attention problem. Which is good but also incredibly frustrating. Our plan to change that was actually pretty simple: We knew a lot of players were waiting for co-op before giving Wicked a real shot. For many people an ARPG doesnt feel complete until multiplayer is there. So we went with a two-pronged approach: A) A discount B) A free weekend The goal was simple: Make it as easy as"

"I understand and that's why this is such a sneaky issue cause on the surface it might seem like a win / win for both parties. But in practice what inevitably happens is that your business model changes to one where MTX become a core revenue pillar and now as a developer you're required to make the MTX stuff feel valuable which automatically means that the items the player can collect in game have to be a tad less valuable. So over time you are literally making your game worse because you're now required to nickel and dime people and what's even worse is that you're conditioning people on the"

"I still see new players especially those whove never played animation-commit combat games getting too easily frustrated by No Rest for the Wicked's combat while calling it brutally difficult. A few tips that might help: 1) Wicked isnt actually that hard But you have to change your mindset. Stats alone wont carry you. The real progression comes from learning enemy behavior. 2) Think of combat like a dance. Enemies have readable patterns and most attacks are clearly telegraphed with anticipation moves. Learn those tells then watch what follows. 3) If enemy combos keep surprising you slow down."

"Its amazing to see so much excitement in the ARPG space ❤👍 When we started on No Rest for the Wicked one of my main motivators was that I wanted us to redefine the ARPG genre after Diablo [--] became a bit of a disappointment. Then we were hoping that Diablo [--] wouldnt try the same things were trying with Wicked - but D4 basically became another revision on the D3 formula. Meanwhile GGG took the right cues from Diablo [--] and did the stuff Blizzard couldnt and Im pretty sure theyre gonna innovate on top of that with PoE2. All of this is incredibly exciting to me - I wish all the best to the folks"

We made No Rest for the Wicked because we weren't happy in the first place with where ARPGs were going. To me it was clear that what this genre needed was a more modern approach: I knew that to solve the combat issues these games have we needed to create an animation-driven combat system and it was obvious that given the talent in our team we were nicely set up to fulfill that goal. But even given that it took us years to create the"

"I think people are still downplaying how insane of an impact Xbox Live Arcade had on the entire games industry. Before XBLA indie games were a small niche on PCs and it was hardly even a business. Yes Cave Story was a thing but before XBLA there werent really any indie games that had mainstream success. Microsoft opened up consoles to bedroom coders once more and everyone quickly had to follow suit and I still think Xbox had a huge hand in creating the indie games market we know and love today. If it wouldnt have been for XBLA and early successes like Braid and Castle Crashers and so on Moon"

We've always been a bit wary of using this system but we wanted to go ahead with it anyway since it's a system that other big games in the genre use and we thought that because of that people would get it. After having analyzed the data people clearly don't get it. The reason why this system works in Souls games is because your stats in Souls don't matter all that much which is why SL1 runs are a thing. But giving players the illusion of choice is just not a good design in my book which is why we"

"I have a theory on why we usually get these cookie cutter stories and experiences from most AAA games. I think it all has to do with the working environment ultimately.
