Summary

Endfield Lead Designer Ryan Fan discusses the game's future direction: they're adding sandbox-style open-world building inspired by games like Factorio and Valheim, improving combat strategy and character variety, redesigning Contingency Contract for more team-building flexibility, and creating long-term replayable content including a completely new game mode outside the current combat system.

    1. Ryan Fan co-founder of Hypergryph and Arknights: Endfield Lead Designer

    2.2. They want to explore more sandbox style buildings in the open world that players can put down and interact because they are heavily inspired by factorio/satisfactory/Valheim/V-Rising etc

  4. #4

    3. Satisfied with the combat and they want to make it more strategic but overall the foundation is solid. They want more characters that have variety and give you the ability to interact with as many other characters and teams as possible

  5. #5

    4. His personal favourite mode is CONTINGENCY CONTRACT and they want it to be more open when it comes to team building and characters, more ways for the player to interact with it. AVOIDING pure stat checks and single solution teams(Estella running do be running 🏃‍♀️)

    5. Alleikhreos was very well received as a boss fight in terms of mechanics,combat, audiovisual spectacle and we can expect more insane stuff like that in the future when it comes to BOSS FIGHTS

  7. #7

    6. Long term replayable content is their primary goal and we can expect something big in the near future. Primary goal is to have depth and reliability, they are even looking into a mode that doesn't follow the combat system of Endfield, something completely new and different.

    7. Constantly applying quality of life changes to the game and monitoring for player feedback when it comes to all the new game modes and events(what sticks and what doesn't)
