The current focus on development is refining the game core mechanics and that means combat, exploration, and monsters behaviours. The game is at a playable stage, and after extensive playtest sessions with friends, I have spotted still a few minor issues which needs ironing as well as some number balancing before I can move on to the next stage.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I am also in the middle of finishing the artworks for latest iteration of the Shop cards, once complete I will have them printed along with the rest of the decks, but there is a pretty staggering amount of them! It is a time consuming and costly process, and a lot of hard work is required, but from the very positive feedback received from past prints and card decks, \u00a0it has proved worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Feel free to use the <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.darkicegames.com\/darklight\/contact\/\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;\">Contact<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong> section form to get in touch with questions, suggestions and all that comes to mind, so that I may eventually create a FAQ out of them.
