Hello, Wanderer!
So, we disappeared for a while and, first off, we want to thank you for your support! We honestly don’t know where the year went. We put our heads down to start working, looked up, and people are doing Christmas countdowns!
And here’s why:
1. We got hyperfocused on our art. There’s absolutely no sugar coating it. We’re artists and have been working so hard to create and improve the characters, environments, and animations for Fallen Tear: The Ascension that we just looked up one day and found ourselves halfway into 2021 with just three emails sent.
2. We were still consulting marketing experts. We know our way around games. Not so much with marketing them.
3. We’ve been doing our own writing. And, let me tell you, as visual people, it’s been painful.
Luckily, we DID manage to wrangle a team to help us write and organize our efforts to stay in touch with you guys because we really wouldn’t be where we are without your support. Thank you so much for continuing to engage with us on Discord and other social media platforms. We have so much more to share! So we will get better at this. Starting now!
Did you know that we restarted our newsletter? If you’ve signed up for it, you probably know and have actually read the part above in an email a few weeks ago. If you still haven’t, please head over to fallentearascension.com and you will get dibs on all the updates and exclusives we have for the game. Every month, you will learn more about the characters, the story, and how our production is going.
And speaking of, the whole team is in full production mode creating new game levels, enemies, and new abilities! Though we are nowhere near finished, it IS starting to take shape already, which is why we will be pulling our concept demo from Steam by December this year. That demo isn’t actually an accurate depiction of our goals, and definitely not of our progress.
Here is our roadmap for next year...
Trailer for 2022
For the rest of 2021 till next year, we will be working on a full-on trailer with all the fixins and more game features. Compared to the cinematic concept demo, which was initially just going to be a teaser, this trailer will show what makes our game new and badass. There will be more gameplay, less of the story, and more cinematics.
Kickstarter in 2022
We also intend to run a Kickstarter in 2022. This would be an opportunity to fund even more features that, right now, are looking like a pipe dream working on our own. Supporters will also get merch! We did a similar thing with our loyal and active Discord community members earlier this year, and we sent them some Fallen Tear: The Ascension shirts.
Game Release 2023
Game release is scheduled for 2023 and we are incredibly determined to meet our goal. This is, after all, our love letter to the gaming community that has shaped who we have become now. However, it would all depend on how 2022 and our Kickstarter goes. So sign up for our newsletter and join us on Discord to stay updated and let us know what you want to see in our game!
