Greetings Adventurers, what a week!
Over the last week we’ve had a demo running, with only a couple of minor interruptions for patching, and it’s been incredibly successful with Adventurers showing up from all around the world.
About a thousand new adventurers battled their way through the Darkened Crypt and found their way to Genmire helping the local townsfolk, hunting, crafting and generally just adventuring.
We’ve been blown away by the response, the feedback and engagement with our players. Unfortunately not everyone had a great experience, we had some real connectivity problems for some users, particularly in North America and Australia which led to poor load times between zones and less than ideal hit registration – something we will seek to improve, but overall we’ve been really happy to see people engaging with a relatively small piece of content for such lengthy periods of time – more than we had anticipated!
So what happens now? Well, we’re going to say goodbye to the demo server later this week, you’re free to jump on in the meantime if you want and say your fare wells to Genmire – for now least.
Then we’re going to spend some time going through the server logs analysing the data we’ve gathered, along with the feedback received on the Community Hub and the Discord and review what needs to be done that we didn’t already know about, what we need to add onto our current roadmap, before we can open up into Early Access, and even at this point the game world gets a whole lot bigger then what’s been seen so far.
Speaking of the roadmap, we will be looking to publish our Early Access and beyond roadmap towards the end of October when we should be able to give a good idea of when you can get back into Genmire, get your ship and sail off into the wider world.
How can you help? Well brave adventurers, you found your way to Genmire before anyone else, you know these lands better than anyone, join the Discord and the Community Hub, tell us what you liked (or didn’t!), Wishlist and Follow on Steam to help us reach other users' recommendations.
And yes, we will spawn more logs.
Take care Adventurers, and thanks for playing.
Monty
