As always a huge thank you to all our amazing backers, both in the past and from our Kickstarter.
I’ve got some quick-fire updates for everyone so let’s dive in!
“The One for All Renown Demo” – Starting June 27:
So, we’re firstly very excited to announce the return of Renown’s Alpha Demo as promised to the community.
It’s only been a couple of weeks so don’t expect big changes. However Mr.Z has been working hard at fixing what he can, trying to improve stability and optimisation.
For the duration of the Demo, full testing access will be open on steam if you know folks who are keen to try Renown but haven’t backed or played yet.
We should hopefully be posting launch and wipe times for each region soon.
Our Community Manager Volker has also been kind enough to whip up a Server Region Survey.
This survey will directly help inform us of which servers we’re missing, need more of, or are solid. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc-rFISah0j7lTWrvLMh6j_H7TdkJ4FmhFoWY6pOJI7bWYWCA/viewform
Kickstarter Credit Notice:
One thing Kickstarter suggests we remind the community.
If you’ve pledged on Kickstarter, payments are sent to your card/bank during the first week after the 27th.
The recommendation is calling your bank if you’re worried about the payment. Otherwise, if you have any issues, they should email you, letting you know.
Testing Key and Title Distribution:
Likewise, we’ll be starting our Title and Key Distribution after the 27th. We do need to beg for some patience from the community as we’re doing so.
Testing keys will be sent out via Email during the Demo so all backers will still have access to the game at this time. Due to the steam testing key policy, we’re forced to use Xsolla testing keys for a while longer.
I want to reassure all backers that Early Access and the Full game will be on Steam. Xsolla is only our stop gap measure to ensure all Backers have testing access to the game.
Discord Titles will be available via the “Get-Backer-Roles” bot channel. We’ll put out another update with specifics on how to use this Bot to get your titles after the 27th.
Xsolla Store – Alternative backing methods – PayPal, Google pay and other:
We’ll also be bringing back our Play Renown Storefront for backers who are outside the Kickstarter backing regions, or for those without credit card access.
This store will have the exact same pricing (excluding currency conversion) as the Kickstarter, and purely functions as an alternative for those who aren’t able to use Kickstarter.
This site should be coming back online sometime soon after the 27th.
Also please see attached for some awesome photos coming out from KZ's new work on Lighting Systems. These are still in testing and should hopefully be coming to a patch soon.
We very much hope folks will enjoy The One for All Renown Demo. Thank you again for the amazing support of our work.
Till next time.
