It is time for the fifth highlight of the upcoming Summit of the Wolf. This month, I will discuss the second of the companions who will join you during your quest: a pixie toddler named Ilea Poh. But before I do that, I'd like to update you all on the status of the game's development.
Summit of the Wolf is officially in a stable beta state! Currently, I am editing the voice recordings of thousands of lines of dialog for the game. As this is a solo project, this process will take another 2-3 weeks. After that, a closed beta testing period will begin. Barring any unforeseen issues, I estimate the game to be ready to launch early February 2020!
And now, on to little Ilea Poh...
Ilea is shy but sweet. From the small fishing village of Summerway, Ilea lived an uneventful life with her mother, Charlotte, who served as protector of the village from outside threats. This all changed when, one day, the village received word that the human stronghold Scarwood Keep was under siege by the Great Dragon Faytte. Upon learning that the keep's king, Rederick Ilo, requested aid from anyone willing to assist, Charlotte's mother felt duty-bound to comply. And so she, along with her daughter, left their home and set off toward the Scarwood mountains.
Along the way, Ilea got separated from Charlotte in Echo Falls. Unable to find her mother, Ilea sought refuge in a nearby cave—unaware that the cave's current occupants, the spring eagles, posed a great threat.
The game's protagonist, Ophelia, encounters Ilea after she has been lost in the caves for some time. After befriending Ilea, Ophelia sets upon herself the quest of reuniting the toddler with her mother, as Ophelia's destination will also take her to Scarwood Keep.
Will Ophelia succeed in her quest? Find out in Summit of the Wolf, which launches in Spring 2020. Add it to your Steam wishlist today!
Next month, I will tell you about some of the real world segments that come into play in the game. Stay tuned!
