It's Happening Folks!
May 9th is next week, and y'all know what that means! Midautumn is heading into Early Access!
We Have a Free Demo!
We are showing off the game at LudonarraCon from May 4th - 8th and we have a free demo available right now for folks to download! The demo includes up to the game's first biome and boss if you wanna try the game out a bit early! We're going to keep the demo available during early access so if you're planning on recommending Midautumn there's an easy way for them to try out the game before needing to spend any money!
LudoNarraCon Gameplay Stream!
We're going to be doing a stream teasing our early access build during LudoNarraCon! I'll be doing a stream for our Discord Community on Friday the 5th, and for folks who miss that the recording will go up on our Steam page on May 6th by 11AM PST! There'll be a lot of other cool narrative driven games and demos available over the next couple days and I recommend checking them out!
Development Updates - Beta Recap!
We had a lovely time with our Beta in March. Everyone had lots of great feedback and y'all found a bunch of bugs that we have been HARD at work fixing, which hopefully means a more stable build for everyone to enjoy on the 9th! We didn't have any huge scares, which means we feel confident about what we have for early access, and didn't feel the need for any big pivots or delays, which is great! The past months since beta, we've been putting in the finishing touches on the early access build, and getting ready for post launch content! For folks who participated in our beta, don't worry, there are definitely some changes we saved for the full version so I'm hoping it'll still feel somewhat fresh for you!
I'll be working on a proper roadmap for y'all post launch but the important information I can reveal is that we'll be planning for a series of content updates throughout early access to give y'all an excuse to check out the game every now and then to see what's changed! These updates will include new character reveals, new features, fleshing out our hub areas, as well as two major content updates for our final two biomes!
Character Reveals!
If y'all have been paying attention to our tumblr posts, you'll know we've revealed 4 new characters over the past couple of months, Carlos, Vivian, Michelle and Steve, who you can run into exploring Nambo Quay and the spirit world!
Vivian is also a gift giver character like Wenye, Tsechoi and Xiaoying and you will be able to receive ancestral gifts from her to help you on you blast some spirits!
But that's not all! we've saved one last character reveal as a surprise before launch!
You can keep checking for the official character reveal on social media, or if you can't wait, this new character can be discovered in the free demo we just put out!
Art Roundup!
We've been posting some fun art commissions we got of our characters on our tumblr over the weeks leading up to launch. Here they all are for you to check out, and you can head over to our tumblr to check out each post in its full glory! A huge thanks to all of the artists for doing putting together such lovely renditions of our characters!
