- Developer News #1 - 11 April 2018
Hello everyone! It's been an interesting start for us last week and we would like to thank everyone who played the game, especially the ones who also bought it ;) Special thanks also to people who reviewed the game on Steam, Orlygift, YouTube or elsewhere. I am personally very happy about the CrypticHybrid's live stream, which happened on our launch day, where he showed the main aspects of Famousity and how to have fun playing it even with the bots. Review of The Good Slaveship "Lollipop" showed us that we might want to do a better job when presenting the game and its features to the public to make it more appealing to new players. These and other reviews are showing that Famousity is fun to play and you quite enjoyed it :) What's next, though? Well, our biggest challenge is to attract more players to have big enough player base, so you can enjoy playing against other people not only bo…

MATCHMAKING AND AI IMPROVEMENTS While Famousity is definitely more fun when played with friends or strangers, it is also important to have solid AI, in cases there is not enough other players you can play with or you just want to practice. Or maybe you just prefer to play against computer ;) Our bots are now more challenging. We plan to go further and add more rules, so they are even harder to beat. On the other hand our matchmaking needed some love and we have fixed some small issues, added chat to the lobby and improved waiting experience. Now, in case of long waiting times, you don't have to just sit and wait, but you can play with bots. When a match is found you will get notified and you can join the match with other players.
