Developer Update: Roadmap Update, Patches, and A Message From Our CEO

[@CaptainSteveVPT]

Wish more Devs and game companies would do this.

[@CarlKahler]

Inflexion is in panic mode they had to do this if they want to have a game in 3 months.

[@CaptainSteveVPT]

@CarlKahler They said they would continue to do Dev updates after release months back... Right now... I am not the games biggest fan. But I love these guys and the studio... they care a lot about this game and I have faith it will become a game that has a great community... It's a game I will fire up every major update and test. Give feedback... as I know it's taken on board.

[@Reezico]

why they still have over 10k concurrent players? no need for a panic when they didnt even know it would have ever do this good..no game is ever perfect & no game ever has 0 problems. game is fun asf@@CarlKahler

[@JohnSmith-zc5ox]

Its full of woke trash. Do not

[@RemedieX]

​@@CarlKahler So far they've been keeping promises, no need to assume they're pulling a Bungie

[@kaliver517]

Thanks for the update, guys. I know community feedback has to be overwhelming but it is nice to see you're taking as much onboard as you can. I've had a fantastic time in Nightingale and can't wait to see where it goes moving forward.

[@Jade-PG]

Buying from traders you have met is great, and looking forward to everything else planned, keep it up

[@JohnSmith-zc5ox]

They are woke leftists that spend their days complaining about Trump even though they in Canada. You cannot report exploitation, just racisms and discrimination. No chat server LOL Gender Fluid characters. Leftists Vegan Knights, never would that happen they couldn't even lift a sword. They don't have the stones for a good game. Just politics

[@TangiersIntrigue]

This was a great feature, it was confusing having to keep up where you saw trader X in Y realm.

[@lukedaly1265]

A game development where the players actually matter, I never saw this coming.Thank you Inflexion.

[@EyeXombie]

Wow, one scripted video and you're sold. lol

[@lukedaly1265]

​@@EyeXombie I have been following Nightingale since it's early development, When I say 'players actually matter' i mean i have been on the Feedback & Bugs page and the discord and spoken to them about various thing and they seem to get it, and when I try i can actually speak to a person, that speaks volumes.

[@kanon1118]

oh every game developers care about their customers. if the customers either dont play their games anymore or are hating on the game so much that they loose money.

[@lukedaly1265]

@@kanon1118 I think you and me have played different games.

[@Adudeinthewoodz]

I've been a multi decades long fan and supporter of Aaryn Flynn's games since the very beginning. As he leaves companies, they seem to take a nose-dive in the areas that seem to matter most to us gamers, almost as if he's the heart and soul behind the projects (seriously, check out the titles he's been heavily involved with over the years!). I'm loving everything about this game, and the amazing team over at Inflexion. Is this studio my spiritual successor of the Bioware of old? Yes, yes it is 😍

[@ValkiosRPG]

I really, really like what you guys have created here. Even with all the issues this is actually my favourite release of 2024 so far, this game is unique. Can't wait to see Nightingale reach the point where we're beyond technical issues, and can focus on adding more content, more biomes, more cards, etc. And more Puck, definitely more Puck.

[@noahthpirate]

This is FANTASTIC communication. I'm a product manager in ed tech and commend your approach. Keep up the great work! Loving the game and the way it brings my brother and I together for a game night.

[@thehubbleton]

This is a level of developer coolness rarely seen.

[@swiza79]

I can't remember when I played last time so many hours in early access game, currently 120h, can't wait for more.thank you for update and all your hard work.

[@oopsieboop]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, you're doing development right. By being open and honest with the community on the features you are implementing as well as the development timeline plus the meaningful interaction with your community, you are doing something very few other studios do and you are doing it well. Despite what some players may say, there is no such thing as a perfect game and as long as you do the best you can to keep this transparency up, I think Nightingale will go far in the future despite the rocky start. Best of luck, Inflexion team!

[@RobertCook-np9qk]

Coming from some games where the CS asks you to do all the investigating work for them, ie capturing the bug in a video, showing in the video that the bug is repeatable, etc. and then maybe getting a positive reply if you're lucky, this level of correspondence between devs and players is amazing. Thanks for all your support and hard work.

[@ayinis1770]

I'm happy to see how open and readily available you are. Super concise vid that shows everything you want to work on. Keep up the good work

[@Saepak1977]

This whole experience has been worth joining the Early Access of Nightingale. Thanks for caring what we players enjoy in a game. Thanks for being thoughtful of how patches are being handled.

[@Straggler8]

The biggest problem was the fact, that this game was released to early access shortly after Palworld and Enshrouded - both incredible survival games. Saying that - Nightingale has great base to build upon, and with such awesome transparency and devs listening to community I think it can be incredible game in a year. If they will add the crafting from chests, store the same stacks and crafting queues - it will improve the game experience tremendously, especially for people who really enjoy the crafting in survival games.

[@novas001]

I have to give them big time credit. I lost my base after putting 70 plus hours into it, due to the Respite realm bug. By the time I next logged in which was about 8 hours later, my base was back and i had not lost a second of time from my pervious logout. Thanks Inflexion games.

[@MotherMantiss]

Thank you for the transparency :)

[@drrozetta]

[@Ninjaofthebear]

I have been watching this game pretty much since it was announced. When it released I was super excited. Having purchased the game and played when I can, the game has been worth every dollar, even with the network crashes. Seeing the dev team so focused on the player experience with a well thought out roadmap is just a cherry on top. Thank you, everyone at Inflexion.

[@gbeagle417]

Yeah you guys are some good people... With that said... I Fricken love this game and I hope you grow strong.. Im 120hrs in and ain't quiting anytime soon. Good job guys

[@LegitGamingKings]

Our team is having fun playing your game. Keep up the transparency and hard work. Looking forward to the many elements to be added. Also chat within the Watch would be great. Thank you Nightingale team!

[@NecroKitten]

THANK YOU for the updates and the crash/disconnect update today - haven't had a problem since! Keep it up

[@HoxPlays]

Looking forward to the short term updates you have planned. Thanks for the hard work so far. This is what you love to hear from a developer that cares about the players. It is appreciated.

[@DadofScience]

I have all the time in the world for issues during early access release. If I'm going to have to start again because my realm vanishes into the void, that's no big deal. I've already restarted a couple of times and will do so again. Each time I learn a whole bunch of new stuff I want to go back and try it out from scratch it is a joy to restart. Keep up the great work.

[@RemedieX]

Well, keep in mind you can contact support to have your realm rerolled as well. You *may* not have to lose it forever.

[@jasonmiller9549]

I want to express my sincere gratitude to the development team and Mr. Flynn for the recent update on our cherished game. Your dedication is evident in every aspect, and I'm thrilled about the progress. Thank you for keeping me and the gaming community informed and engaged throughout the development process. I eagerly anticipate each update, knowing it brings new adventures to explore in Nightingale. Your hard work continues to inspire me, and I'm excited about the future of the game.♥

[@chickyrocker]

I have to praise this development team for the massive amount of communication they give to their players! I'm absolutely loving this game and the 276 hours i've put into it show just how much! In all those hours i've not really encountered many issues at all apart from one lost follower and a couple of netork errors, which for an early access game is a great achievement. I look forward to what you're going to bring us in the future & applaud you massively for all the hard work you put in to keep this game a great experience for us all

[@TheAngelofstealth]

Thanks for the update. Communication is key and addressing current state before stacking on more is a great place to start. Enjoying my playthrough experience. Hope the team isn't burning out and we appreciate the hard work. Cheers

[@Miidnight_Snack]

Thank you so much on the quick response when the respites went poof! 🙏🏻 Can't wait to experience all coming updates 😍😍😍

[@leonardoe1977]

i hope the craft que system is that we higher one of the recruitables to work at our place then we just go to a poster board to put what we want crafted and with what, ten that recruitable gets to work it would make out builds/towns feel fuller

[@kaedyss]

Thank you for the transparency and caring to keep us updated!! Wonderful game and look forward to the future!!! (especially if I can pull mats from boxes someday) xD

[@Duvries]

Thank you for informing us! From here we will wait patiently for life improvements and updates for Nightingale Keep up the great work, Dev Realmwalkers! 💪🏻☂🎩

[@sempraviar9775]

Thank all to Nightingale team! You are one of the best Devs i've seen in the last gaming experience years! Very passion very helpfull and very present whit the player community! Thank so much for your hard work! I can see in your eyes that time consuming.. I stop play alot of my Library games to play your game! Im a building and explorer lover so this game fits me as a glove! Thank you once more for this! Stay safe Nightingale Team!

[@alexandermartinez6453]

I loved this! Thank you for the much needed transparency

[@MissVadams10]

So grateful for this concise communication! Very excited to see what the future has in store for Nightingale ☺️

[@robharper5683]

Excellent update, Devs! Transparent, authentic, and concise. Thank you very much!

[@ElyriaNo]

Y'all have really got a good thing going here! The fact that you're receptive to players is refreshing. Keep up the great work!

one thing i can say about Inflexion Games i love the way you guys are so open and honest and genuine

[@pure_carnage]

Great Communication and Perfect explanations. Wish more companies did this. Keep up the amazing work everyone! Shows the care and love you all have for the game. Thank you!

[@Neon-Flux]

I've been meaning to play more as the game is beautiful, been waiting for the early updates and servers to smooth out, look forward to finishing my estate and get to the watch

[@indieflock5122]

100+ hours in currently. Like the game a lot and will keep playing. Sadly, most of my plant boxes still aren't working though.

[@goodgurugamingentunknowner2618]

Ohhh yea don't rush this quality over quantity

[@pookimkutsel]

It's amazing that some of the bigger issues could've probably been avoided if the game wasn't online only, and more like borderlands or remnant where you can just dive in co-op whenever... I love the concept of the game and i did enjoy my time with it, even though i get constant network errors that take me out of the game without letting me back in... This game needs more time in the oven, because it seems the vision up to 1.0 and beyond is not very clear based on the roadmap, too many filler features and missing quite a bit of what the game acutally needs to stay relevant imo. I hope to see more improvments being made and the integration of the offline mode so i can comback and get into the more end game stuff i kinda puased on because of all the issues. Good luck to Inflexion games, at the very least it looks like you guys trully care about your game, and it shows.

[@thomassilver2529]

When you get feedback from players, its cuz they love the game, and that you guys actually listen, means, you also want this to be best game you can deliver. I'm still in awe, of how amazing this Dev team is. Truly rare these days. Thank you for the transparency and feedback in videoformat. It makes it more personal when you have faces to see, and connect with. You guys are doing ALL the right things for making this game, and company SHINE and RISE in the future.

[@joshuakallen]

Thank you for all the great transparency and all your hard work!

[@arianaponytail]

[@M0tr1ch]

Keep it up Guys!! Love the Game :))

[@JohnSmith-zc5ox]

This game is full of woke trash. You can't report for exploitation but you can report for "Racisim" as #1 report feature. There are gender fluid characters. Vegan Knights The developers spend their time screeching about Trump and politics on social media instead of making a superior product.

[@Adamgoodperson]

Thank you for the update! I bought the game because of the care and communication the dev team put into this process. Will continue to play as long as it is supported.

[@sossepanter]

Nice to see players getting more feedback! Great work!

Thanks for this update! I'm loving the game so far and there's lots to look forward to!

Really hoping for the offline mode, a shame it doesn't have one right now, but really glad you're adding it. Waiting to buy it until it's out! Great job.

Performance, performance, performance. Frame rates dropping down to the 20's on modern hardware on the lowest settings possible is a problem. I hope this is a priority.

Very very good work!👏 Everything sounds amazing!💜 just don't forget to take breaks😴

[@RYTime-p2r]

Wow, what an outstanding dev/game team. Can't wait to see what this game becomes, it's already incredible.

[@msbubbles5037]

Thank you! ❤❤

[@marrypickford5315]

thanks for this dev update, thats amazing! and thanks for the work and this excellent game

[@ItsRemnant]

Honestly, this level of communication is beyond perfect! As other people have said, I wish more Developers did this. I am happy to feel respected as a player and am more than happy to see this game's cycle through. I am loving the game beyond belief, though I have experienced some significant push back from errors and bugs; they've not ruined my opinion and this video has fully quelled my concerns.

[@radastir]

The real fun with the ingot exploit is the crafting for science - maximize a certain stat and find out what it does...

[@Ghostyfreaks]

have you also experienced disconnect and long latency times when refining the ignot more than 14 times? xD

[@radastir]

@@Ghostyfreaks I didn't go this far (so far...), but shooting over half of the landscape with a "maxed out" magnesium rifle is guilty pleasure at it's best 😇 (you just need a big target - and yes, there is bullet drop and travel time... 😁)

Thank you for all you do! I absolutely love Nightingale; Puck is my Boy! Please take your time on your awesome game! Us Realmwalkers are here for ya'll! Take care & thank you again Inflexion!

LETS GOOOO!!!!!!!! thank you for this

[@Hawkcap]

Appreciate the work ya all are putting into this game. I like the game and feel like it got potential so im exited to see how its gonna develop. On another note im also really happy you guys are doing these videos and explanations, it reminds me a lot of how the devs at Warframe interact with that community and is a really good way to give us all information about whats going on. Transparency like this draws people in. Keep up the good work, keep up these kinda vidoes and thanks for your hard work :)

[@bGOD]

Keep up the good work everyone and don't overdo yourselves!

[@elite7896]

Amazing Stuff guys, love the game. Keep it up!

[@Razadine1]

Very Nice overview of what is been done and is to come. The big question remains is are they going to do bi-weekly updages weekly updates or monthly updates to start till they have a very stable game.

[@Reichtangle]

Very Informative, thanks :) And Thanks for this Gem of a Survival game i enjoy it

[@JasonJoestar]

I'll start playing again when I can craft from storage. Having to run around my base to look in every chest to find what I need is a chore in itself.

[@MamaJava]

Thank you for the updates ❤

[@silbirobi]

Please bring back the HUD design from the server stress test (Orb design). The new/current one is a visual disaster and no matter how much I think about it, I don't understand this change/downgrade!

[@tomkarpati7743]

Take your time guys. I will stay along the way. I a good game need community feedback and good dews. All is present so just make sure not to overwork yourselves and make a good game.

[@dho1899]

Can't wait for 1.0, very cool game.

[@0Eowin0]

I've spent 230 hours in the game so far and what can I say... I think I'll need another 200. I love this game. Sure, a lot of things annoy me... plants that don't grow, plants that can't be harvested (hemp)... but that's whining on a very high level. Nightingale is very high in my opinion. Nevertheless, I would like to know where the name comes from. From the bird or from Florence? Go your own way, you're doing well! I buy a second key.

[@justinbrown6433]

Respect you and brokenarrow have gained my respect

[@TheGodzimir]

Even if one time i've been a little salty against servers, i'll continue playing, this game lauching sweetly reminds me Sea Of Thieves starting days, we can feel the team investment and the love that all the staff have for the game. Nice Job !

[@Chrismurphy824]

Would totally LOVE to be able to buy from an Essence trader through the Guidebook, post-meeting. Awesome idea, cannot wait! (Hopefully this applies to the Watch traders, as well! )

[@TangiersIntrigue]

I greatly appreciate the update, and one of the reasons I ended up on board this game was the same active and participative spirit your team keeps displaying. That being said, I'd like to address the ingot exploit situation. Currently the way the game scales, there are limits to how the ranged weapons in particularly scale with enemy HP. In high levels, magic barely tickles the HP bar, so there is little incentive for it outside crowd control. One thing you can do is to embrace the unintended consequences and develop a refined ingot system, with a cap, so players can fine-tune the stats up to a point. This ingot-refinement system should also be locked behind higher-tier crafting stations, perhaps a dedicated station. Personally, I found it fun to test the limits, although as it is in public lobbies it absolutely ruins the experience (especially considering the lower difficulty of Vaults). I ended up taking a break until I see what you plan to do regarding this exploit. I would also like to thank you for the many quality-of-life improvements though, I really want to see this game become the gem it can be.

[@crepuscolo80]

This game has a lot of potential. I like it. I'm curious to find out how it will evolve

[@TheJonesinator17]

great to hear, i'm miles away in australia and an offline mode will immediately get me to purchase the game. cheers

[@randomuserame]

Re-forging should be converted into a fully-supported mechanic. No other game has it that I know of and it give even more depth to the already-insane crafting iceberg (and I love it!).

[@Soulzjd2]

Doing an extreme only run but not seeing any T1 Fibers [swamp, forest, desert]. Some potion is uncraftable for me due to this. i have a lot of T2 so once i get new recipes i might be able to farm the mats required for them. :P

[@sarahbrand9747]

Oh that's an unfortunate but fascinating problem to have XD Hope you reported that one!

[@SeanFoxxx]

Exciting times!

[@Nicherie]

I love this game and hope the massive bump in the road with the missing realms doesn’t have too much of an effect on Nightingales overall success

[@goonie79]

The reason I was intrigued and purchased the game is that it does have a "Lovecraftian" vibe that I love. If you guys can stay in this lane, I would love it as the game progresses in updates. Also, some of these words look great for PVP type of battle royal as well to extend future game options. Keep up the great work!

[@MrHakisak]

Thank you for not attacking your fans. You're at the stage most ceo's don't do well.

[@ZiProphet]

That was a nice video. Thank you for showing us what you're working on, and taking your time to put a video together. As a person who's main focus in life is games and how they work, I appreciate it like no other. Your game has great art and is a fantastic concept for a survival game. Keep it up! 👍👍

[@goodgurugamingentunknowner2618]

I've been with you guys since you announced this game and I love every aspect this game has sooooooo much potential more realms and maybe more in depth story quests and def a offline is needed asap due to all the problems with servers which has been fixed but I could see a beautiful deep and intriguing storyline if done right I stand with you guys and u have my support keep up the good work and thank you for a good game

[@oMaidsama]

I would really love an Taming system, for ranching or to fight along side, even ride! Its a pain to jump run every time i want to explore

[@khaansulu5695]

I love getting developer updates, Coffee Stain do good ones too

[@Farmboy1O2]

If the devs can keep this up then this will be the best game released in many years

This video was awesome and I appreciate it! I'd bake you a cake, but that will have to wait until I can grind my oats into flour at all.
