Well it's been nearly 5 years since I started game development after playing all types of games for the last 35+ years and I decided to develop Elemgate with no previous experience in the gaming industry, when you build something for the first time solo things take longer then expected also with COVID, zero funding and some things you just didn't anticipate when creating a game.
Life in general can sometimes slow you down too.
It has been a long, stressful and hard road building a game for the first time and at times doubted that I would even get to a full release, but when your passionate about something you put everything you have into it and I have finished a lot of games in my time but never had a chance to build one until a few years ago thanks to the unreal engine.
Elemgate is a bit of a throw back to the games I played as a kid, old school games where it was actually really challenging to complete a game, with no micro transactions, earning rewards in game, no pay to win and extra cost added by DLC with no loot boxes or virtual currencies.
I'm making Elemgate DRM free because people already have put it out there for free no doubt but more importantly you can play it offline even on your steam deck you just can't upload high scores to steam leader boards.
By purchasing you will help support Elemgate, me and my next project
I look forward to doing some updates to Elemgate and depending on success maybe some other ideas / features / additions will come to light in the future but mostly looking forward to learning more in game development while working on my next game.
Kicking around a fair few idea's.
Hope you all enjoy
Chris
