Hello Harbingers,
First, we would like to welcome all new members to our community and thank everybody for the great reception the game has had, your support in these first few days has been incredible!
Status of Development
Milo started this journey on his own years ago and now The Bloodline moves into a new stage where he is gathering lots of feedback directly through many different channels.
He is already working on a significant patch to introduce some of the community suggestions, fix some of the reported issues, enhance game performance and bring new content to the game.
We just need to run some tests before we put the patch out in case additional work is needed. Please, be patient and stay tuned!
Future Plans
Mmmhhh… we are still getting used to the foresight ability but what we can anticipate some of what was originally planned:
- Patches – will primarily be focused on bug fixing, performance improvements and balancing. They will depend very much on the reports we gather from the community.
- Content updates – also introducing fixes, enhancements and balancing as well as playable content such as new weapons, new Skills, new Points of Interest, new Quests, new Enemies, Guilds, new Events, etc.
- Kingdom Updates – Updates that will present a whole new distinctive kingdom with major cities and smaller villages, large map explorable areas with camping sites, specific region quests and additions to the main story questline, new faction of enemies and a dungeon… among many other surprises.
The cadence of delivery may be affected by the amount of feedback and bug reports we receive as this is a personal development. But in any case, before the end of the year we hope to be able to release different patches and the “Southern Winds” Content update.
Southern Winds will populate the South part of the current map. Specially Arema and its surroundings, will add new points of interests, new enemies, quests and puzzles and, finally, will unlock the Aeromancy skill tree.
FAQ
Will the Game have Coop or Multiplayer?
As much as we like the idea, is not on the current scope of the game. Once we polish the experience closer to the point we want to deliver we can start considering further options.
Would you localize the game in my language?
We do consider localizing the game but implementing many different languages while the game is at early stages of production multiplies the work, needs to get sign offs from the localization department, may require retranslations, there could be interim moments where not all lines would be translated… all of this could heavily affect delivery times.
We believe it is better to wait until we have a better idea on what the final texts for the game are.
That said we may test additional languages to experience and apprise the process 😉
Will updates delete my saved files?
With the first patch that is in the works you will need to move your saves to another folder (apologies for that!). In general - through the Early Access phase - some of these patches and Content Updates may affect saved games, specially on the first stages of production. This is something we try to avoid and we will try to notify you in advance if any action to preserve them properly is necessary.
After the upcoming patch you’ll need to transfer save files (.sav) in another folder:
- Get save files from "steamapps -> common -> TheBloodline -> Build5.51 -> WindowsNoEditor -> TheBloodline -> Content -> Saved -> SaveGames".
- Move them into: “Windows(C:) -> (username) -> AppData -> Local -> TheBloodline -> Saved -> SaveGames”.
- Sometimes Windows hides the app data so you may need to unhide it.
Can we have a winged donkey to ride and fly, like Pegasus?
We are happy to hear any suggestions you might have. The best place to post them is in on the suggestions section of our discord.
Now, for this specific suggestion we would like to remember that Ferguson is to be protected at all costs. We believe he is happy as it is.
Can we ask the WWE “The Bloodline” to change its stage name to avoid confusions?
We are afraid not… basically, we are just afraid to ask and get speared by Roman Reigns. But you all can ask them to play the game.
We invite you to join us on Discord and follow Shieldbearer Studios ( TikTok | Twitter ) & HOOK ( Twitter | Facebook | TikTok ) to be always updated in real time about what’s happening in Eudros 🏰
