Ubisoft changing Child of Light difficulty names with upcoming patch
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Child of Light will soon be receiving a patch to change the game’s difficulty names. In the future, “normal” and “hard” will be modified to “casual” and “expert”.
Writer Jeffrey Yohalem told Joystiq during a live-stream event:
“In a patch that’s coming up, we’re changing the names to ‘casual’ and ‘expert’. This has been an issue, obviously, that some people have had, and I think that the word ‘normal’ is a misrepresentation …. Or, rather, implying that there’s one way to play that’s normal is, I think, too strong.”
“Casual is for people that want to experience the world and experience the adventure without having hard combat, and then expert is for people who love RPGs and who want to really have a challenge.”
Yohalem feels that those who have experience playing role-played games should try Child of Light on the “hard” difficulty for the time being.

Pier Solar HD now expected out next month
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
With Pier Solar HD missing its April release window, you may have been wondering about what happened to the game. Watermelon provided an update today and confirmed that the new launch is targeted for June.
As for why Pier Solar HD is experiencing a delay, the studio explained:
– Beta test is still going on: the game is super stable but some bugs are still being found. We can’t, in our right mind, ignore those and go for release and rely on patches from day one. As long as there’s a bug, there will be a fix until the game is as smooth as the original.
– Never-ending perfectionism: During the development not only did we program some enhancements to the game such as the Director’s Cut, but also some other improvements are being made to make Pier Solar better in usability and gameplay. Some of these improvements came a bit late in the project but we considered them essential for this release. Don’t worry. We’re not adding new things every day, our scope is 100% closed by now, but some extra dev time was added due to those new features.
– There’s bureaucracy involved: Only after the game passes WM’s internal QA can we consider it Gold Master, and send to our distribution channels (Aka: Steam, PSN, XBLA, e-Shop…) and this process not only takes a bit of time but it also makes sure that our game is compliant with their standards. Only after we’re certified, we’ll be able to get a final release date.
