Hello everyone,
We wanted to write this post to mention that the development team has taken the decision to rework the development schedule of the game. Based on player feedback, we believe we can hugely improve the game - and are undertaking the task of doing so. While we started the current release journey in early access, but believe we misstepped with several things, and we want to ensure all player feedback is taken into account with the best version of the game delivered. As a result, while we delineate over how to best deal with this and we rework the game internally, we are temporarily restricting SteamDolls from sale starting on November 17th.
We have the game on sale one last time (at the same discount % as past sales) one more time before this temporary removal for anyone who would still like access to the game. As a note, this is a storepage only removal. All players will retain access to the game in their library.
You can read more information from the developer here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/steamdolls/steamdolls-order-of-chaos/posts/4515646
As a tl;dr, what is the development team working on?
Completely redone combat & "game feel"
Improved Narrative flow
Simplified & tightened tutorial sequences
Visual overhauls
Rebalancing
Rebranding
As mentioned in the linked kickstarter post, we will be making usage of a branch all owners will have access to for testing the improved version of the game. We believe this is the best decision and think ongoing sale of the game in an early access period will likely be very confusing - in turn, we want to ensure everyone has the best experience possible and feels satisfied with the project.
Thank you for understanding, and see everyone soon. The Whisper lives on!
