Hey all!
First off, thank you to everyone who's jumped into Star Wars: Roguelike ONE recently and checked out our new Companion Update!
The idea for companions actually came from the original boss event we held back in June. During that event, players who defeated the boss could unlock the AAT droid as a reward, and it ended up being a really fun and memorable way to recognize everyone's efforts.
At the time, though, the game was still finding its feet. Seeing so many players excited about earning the AAT droid got us thinking about how we could expand on that idea. While we could have simply rerun the original event, we also wanted to respect the time and dedication of the players who earned the reward the first time around. The Companion Update felt like the perfect balance, it builds on that original concept while introducing something new for everyone to enjoy.
Now, onto why we're making this post: we want your feedback.
The last feedback post led to some fantastic improvements, including difficulty balancing, the ability to roll while downed, and an extra inventory slot to make carrying supplies easier. Those ideas came directly from the community, and they've helped make the game better.
As we continue developing Star Wars: Roguelike ONE, we want to keep building it alongside you. We'd love to hear your thoughts on the Companion Update, as well as any ideas, suggestions, or features you'd like to see next.
Thank you again for all your support. We can't wait to read your feedback and continue shaping the game into something you'll keep coming back to play!
