Hey everybody! I am giving you my last dev-log and progress update for 2022 and what better occasion to do a wrap up of the year than to do it on my birthday with a cup of tasy afternoon coffee :)
The Fabled Lands theme has been vibrating in my being after a fantastic culmination of a 3-year journey.
The game released on May 26th and I am truly humbled by the faith you put in it and by the amazing results it achieved. It not only fulfilled my forecasts but also surpassed them, hence one of the greatest gifts for me is the ability to continue to practice game development as a full time independant, self-published developer.
Thank you!
Lords of the Rising Sun DLC

The DLC update is in its final phase. The artist is currently rendering all the concept art and sketches and I am mostly waiting on several important updates from him to transition into alpha/beta testing.
Release Date
Things are moving rapidly with daily beats but we're already approaching Christmas so realistically, we'll wrap it up in January.
Afterwards there will be Discord community mayhem of testers and bug fixing. All must be in perfect condition for the release date, which is going to be 16th of February!
The Steam team have prepared something special for the occasion and I cannot wait to share it with all of you when the time comes! So there's no delaying beyond this date. Be sure not to miss it by wishlisting the game:

I have updated the demo across all devices and platforms after the latest feedback round. I decided to keep it up permanently available to anyone who wishes to try out the experience first hand, and it's been up for couple of months now. Turns out it was a great decision as it didn't hurt sales but also helped positive reviews to flow more from people who know exactly what to expect.
Happy Holidays to all of you and stay safe!
