Greetings!
Last week, we let the community decide which role should next be introduced to Walk of Life. We received over 1600 votes on our Discord, but it quickly became clear which role was the favorite to win. With 51% of the total votes, Walk of Life's next role will be the Cultist!
The final votes were as follows:
Beastmaster 20%
Cultist 51%
Gymrat 7%
Wannabe 21%
It seems that our community has a burning desire to do terrible things in the name of the occult! Should we be worried about you guys? Anyways, we've already begun work on the Cultist and we're aiming to get its ominous game mechanics into your hands very soon.
While the winner of the vote quickly became apparent, the race for runner-up was way more tense. The beastmaster and the wannabe were separated by only a few votes throughout the week, with the Wannabe clinching ahead in the final two days and staying ahead by just 11 votes!
Now to address a question we received multiple times during the voting process: Why have a vote at all instead of simply releasing all four of the roles into the game?
To be as transparent as possible, it's currently not clear how many more roles will make it into the base game. While they may look simple, each role takes up a lot of time and resources from our relatively small team. We wanted to gauge what the community wanted the most so we could prioritize accordingly. In a perfect world, we'd give you as much content as possible, but if we have to pick and choose, we want you to have a say in the matter.
If you've been playing Walk of Life and have any ideas, thoughts, or general feedback you wish to get across to us, leaving us a Steam review is a great way to support the game and let us know what you think we're doing right and what we could be doing better!
We're over the moon with the positive reception we've gotten for the game so far and we truly appreciate each and everyone of you taking the time to leave us a little note. Actually, we're so appreciative that we're going to leave you with a little sneak peek of what we're working on right now (we actually snuck a little teaser into the main menu already!)
Can you smell it? That crisp mountain air? Can you feel that freshly fallen snow? Can you hear the excruciating sounds of yodeling and cuckoo clocks? We hope to see you all in Schnitzelland very soon!
Uf Wiederluege!
