As we approach December it's a good time to have a look at how far we've come this year!
(And as I've not done a Dev Update for the last two content releases)
The first release of Shackles of Ellswyn promised a lot of unique things, and a very high quality game. The compromise unfortunately is that development is slow, and getting gameplay time up so our players have content worth opening up the game each month has been a goal for us, and we're working on finding a good balance for that.
The last two updates were smaller because we were working on Black Contract (Which is currently complete), an off shoot which is opening the doors for SoE in terms of preparing strategies for including animations, something we're looking forward to including in SoE in the future. Both of those last two updates were both intended to help bridge a plot gap so that the Queen content and the Witch content would sync up for the last update, and so that the next update where we continue through the Witch's arc so that the main character can be [spoilers] and have their [spoilers spoilers]. Which I'm personally very excited about.
Our plan is to do our best to continue to keep regular updates for SoE going into the new year so that we can complete the story, and give the main character's journey in Ellswyn several options for satisfying conclusions, to then create other sequel games in the same universe with other themes and characters to build upon the stories created.
What have you enjoyed the most from Shackles of Ellswyn this year? And which character's arc are you most looking forwards to completing?
