Brighter Shores players asked for it, and boy howdy are they getting it: The early access indie MMORPG has deployed a wide swath of quality-of-life patches across November and the start of December, with no apparent signs of slowing down if lead developer Andrew Gower’s tweets are any indication.
Some of these features applied to the game include a way to spot friends with new UI colors, letting the escape key close more UI windows, several convenience features for the recently added leaderboards, the introduction of new “buy max” buttons at vendors, and the option to bank up to 200% knowledge before being required to spend it, among many others.
The QoL won’t stop there, either: Gower has announced other updates coming down the pike like the ability to queue multiple node gathering commands, a transmog system that will debut with unique Christmas transmogs, and player-to-player trading functionality. There’s no immediate timeline for these features yet, but considering how frequent other QoL updates have landed, players can probably expect them before too long.
Checking in on the game’s early access, things appear to be middling, with concurrency numbers of just over 2K, a 24-hour peak of 3K, and 17K peak all-time, while Steam user reviews currently sit at “mostly positive.”
