Studio “Playing Cats” shared information about the current improvements to their project “Front Edge”. Despite the holiday season, the developers continue to work on the game, paying special attention to the development of the zone mechanism.
The update covers three main areas:
Expanding the functionality of “bonuses” for zones. Previously, some zones only activated additional reinforcement areas, but now the team is working on a mechanism that will allow adding other types of benefits. Improving the user interface. In the near future, zone icons will become more informative: they will clearly display what bonuses each territory provides, including troop spawn and evacuation zones. Introducing a system of “additional slots”. When capturing certain zones, players will be able to place more troops, which, in turn, will affect the amount of incoming command points (CP).
The developers emphasize that these innovations are intended to stimulate more dynamic gameplay. According to them, such “bonuses” will motivate players to actively capture and hold zones, rather than sit back in defense from the beginning to the end of the match. At the same time, the game’s creators assure that these advantages will not become a decisive factor capable of radically changing the course of the battle.
In addition, the studio plans to introduce a “morale” system. As part of this innovation, some key zones will influence the state of the army: some points will increase the fighting spirit of their troops, while others will reduce the enemy’s morale.
It is important to note another significant change: zones will only “work”, i.e. provide bonuses, if there is a connection with the player’s reinforcement zones. If any territory is “cut off” from the main forces, it will temporarily lose its functionality.
