'I’m not having fun for long when playing it,' a MMO developer said about their own game. So they overhauled just about everything about it.

If you visit the Steam page for early access survival MMO Last Oasis, you'll find an article bluntly titled"Last Oasis Sucks." It's not a post on the discussion page written by a disgruntled player and it's not an opinion piece from a gaming media outlet pulled in by Steam's news aggregator.You may recall Last Oasis, a nomadic survival MMO where players construct and travel in land-crawling fortresses called walkers.

Chadz goes on to say the developers at Donkey Team decided to think less about what needed to be fixed and more about what needed to be completely rethought:"If I were to make LO from scratch, what would I do?" This reframing of the problem led to the major overhaul of Last Oasis, which was re-released today.

The PvE, meanwhile, has gotten much more difficult."The world is in every way trying to actively kill you. The sun will make you constantly struggle for survival. Water is precious. Massive, deadly sandstorms can catch you off guard." Meanwhile, aggressive enemy creatures called Rupu are roaming the world and launching attacks on the players, their structures, and walkers. While the main threat used to be other players, now it's the world itself.

Now, like most other survival games, players will build static bases and use walkers for excursions, exploration, and combat. PvP raids aren't enabled so players currently don't need to worry about other players destroying their bases and taking their stuff. And while walkers aren't as durable as they used to be, it's easier to build a new walker if one is destroyed, especially since most of your belongings are safely stored back at your base.
