Map Objectives 🗺️ "This is something we've been eyeing for a while, but we never had the right vision or execution to pull it off. Recently though, we've been working towards properly introducing Map Objectives, starting with a couple and expanding from there. For instance, we're kicking things off... with a new objective on Ultimate Assassin Grounds, where you and your team can work together to drain the water that's slowing you down. This should introduce some life back into the core gameplay as a starter while we work on bigger additions down the line. We're always looking at feedback, so if any of the map objectives feel too hard, too easy, or just don't feel meaningful, let us know once these start shipping later this year."show more

First of Many | DEVELOPER PROGRESS REPORT #1 Written by: @voxov_tired & @Enoderen 📢This information comes from the Official Forsaken Server.📢 "Hello everyone! As you can see, we're trying something new to give you more transparency into our development and where we're taking the future of Forsaken! To catch anyone up who isn't aware, I'm voxov_tired! I'm the Producer on the project, handling basically everything that gets shipped out, alongside being the Lead Engineer. This is being written in partnership with Eno, our Creative Director, who helps me keep update quality high and brings a ton of awesome ideas to the table. Most people are probably wondering why we decided to do this, and the answer is simple: we want you, our community, to know about the changes we're making so you can help us shape a better future for Forsaken! We think writing these out is the best way to let everyone see the cool work we're doing. So buckle up! We have quite a bit to dive into this progress report."

🚨News🚨 The first developer progress report has just been released with details on more transparency on development, map objectives, new generator puzzles, LMS betting, visual touchups, and more! Written by: @voxov_tired & @Enoderen 🧵A Thread!🧵 #Forsaken #forsakenroblox

New Generator Puzzles ⚙️ "This is another thing we're working on that's super early in progress, but we're building towards new puzzles that can show up across all generators. We know it gets tiring getting the same Flow Game puzzle every round, so we're hoping this makes generators feel a little fresher instead of the same every time. This will be shipping later this year with 2-3 new puzzles for you to play with, so keep an eye out for that."

Visual Touchups 🔧 "We've also decided to go through most of the maps we have in-game right now and give them touch-ups that spice them up and bring them to life. As you can see in some of the attached videos, we've already done touch-ups on c00lcarnival, Ultimate Assassins Ground & Horror Hotel, with more maps to come! We think it's important that the atmosphere feels alive and like things are happening, without taking away from the gameplay, just to make the experience more immersive. You'll be seeing these rolling out as soon as next week, so stay tuned."

LMS Betting 💸 "Not a crazy addition, but we wanted to throw this one in since it's something you've already seen from an old visualizer for "A GRAVE SOUL (NOW, RUN)." You and your teammates will be able to "bet" on who wins during an LMS. There's no actual currency you spend or anything you gain, just a fun little thing we wanted to add for people to mess around with."

Bug Fixes & PTB 🛠️ "We feel it's important to talk about this one since it comes up a lot. We've noticed a fair amount of bugs have piled up over the past year or two, and we're hoping to work through our burn list and resolve most of the problems people are running into right now. These fixes will be pushed out in batches, since there's too much to go through for us to realistically ship it all in one update. The other thing is Public Testing. We're planning to use our public testing environment more, improve the way you give us feedback (ie. in-game polls), and figure out the best system we can build for testing new features and reworked characters."

Characters 🤖 "As people already know, we're working through a few new characters: Helperbot, Stalker & Ringmaster. I do want to say we're making significant progress on all of them, with Helperbot being practically finished and something we want to ship out soon! Stalker & Ringmaster should follow soon enough as well, though we're not locked in on exact timing yet. Once these are out, it'll be a wrap on this Chapter and we'll move on to the next one, so keep your eyes peeled ;)"

Send-off: "We hope you all enjoyed the little sneak peeks and bits we've shown off here today. This is our first time putting something like this together and sharing what we have planned ahead, and we hope you're as excited for the future of Forsaken as we are! If you have any feedback on how we did with this progress report, or more things you'd like to see, make your voice heard across social media. We'll be listening and improving as we go! We hope this brings some much needed transparency to our community about what we're working on and where we want to take the game. Hope to see you all again real soon! - voxov & Enoderen"

This is actually brilliant. Being able to make the maps favor you more as a survivor is such a good and creative idea. The issue is that right now, the game already favors the survivors, so this might make it a little worse for Killer gameplay

MY BUILDERMAN SPOT

Maybe certain maps could have more unique win conditions other than surviving a certain amount of time or finishing one huge objective before the timer runs out, it can make killer more fresh by not just focusing on kills but also on providing micro and macro management!!

Finally forsaken is actually doing something creative with their gameplay

This seems awful tbh

NONONONNNNNOONOONO PLEASE I HOPE THEY RECONSIDER THIS OBJECTIVE AT SOME POINT THIS IS LITERALLY A LOOPING NIGHTMARE

do NOT do this omfg

Looping will be skyrocketed

FINALLY 😭😭😭 I'VE BEEN PRAYING FORMONTHS

can we also get new survivor animations? the ones in game are all the fucking same and it's boring

dont do this.
