While working on the newest update for Arcane Earth, I pushed things towards slower progression. More block health, less damage, longer grind, weaker Golems, etc. It sounded good on paper! But... in practice it just felt dull.

There is a psychology concept I really enjoy from Vygotsky called the "Zone of Proximal Development", which basically means things are most enjoyable when they are not too easy, not too hard, but just right. I had pushed the game out of that zone.

This most recent update is simple: make it feel good to play moment to moment, not just stretch out playtime. With some luck, the changes will be welcomed with open arms!

Enjoy, and take care!
