Construct ‘n’ destruct simBesiegerecently got a splashy expansion in The Splintered Sea, which Nic enjoyed a lot inhis reviewwhile calling it compact, small and brisk. Apparently Nic wasn’t alone in this opinion: its developers now say they’re working on a free update that will expand the expansion and make its campaign 50% longer.
The update will add five new levels to The Splintered Sea and will release on July 22nd.
“We’ve also been experimenting with the idea of adding additional challenges to levels that, while not required for completion, can offer a much greater test of your ability,” saysthe announcement. The offered example is a series of crates the player can choose to smash through while still completing a level within the time limit.
It’s nice to see Spiderling Studios taking feedback onboard and working to make the expansion more substantial - particualrly because it wasn’t at all bad in the first place, and it would have been easy to leave it as it was. Aside from those dinkonyms above, Nic already referred to it as “an awesome and incredibly complex and worthwhile thing.”
