Greetings, friends!
We're nearly there! Swordhaven has been finalised, but it still needs the last bits of polish, so we're releasing the final Early Access version into beta for all of you to try before the full release.
Version 0.9.9 is a draft of what the release is meant to look like. You can play through the entire plot and see the end credits. It is still a bit rough around the edges, especially in the endgame, but it's all there for you to check out.
Those of you who wish to support our studio further may also consider choosing a complementary DLC. We have two to choose from: the Magus Tower Pack and the King's Hand Pack. As is our studio's tradition, these are a token of thanks for your continued support, featuring unique player character skins, unique items, and, in the case of the King's Hand Pack, a new location with a buried treasure protected by blood-crazed monsters.
Knowing that wiping saves on release is always a difficult, albeit necessary, decision that some of you may not enjoy, we have found a compromise this time. Upon release, the game will include a new setting related to save-file compatibility. There, you will be able to choose whether to continue using Early Access saves or switch to version 1.0 and later. Please note that this may break certain scripts!
There is also another boon for those of you willing to try out Swordhaven before release: the unique Veterans Pack will only be available while the game is in Early Access, with its unique item and player character skin to be lost forever upon release. We hope you check it out!
The changes in this version include the following:
- The game can now be finished;
- Unlocked two optional DLCs': The Magus Tower Pack and The King's Hand Pack;
- Numerous balancing and technique-related fixes;
- Various bug fixes made possible through beta player feedback;
- New items such as the coveted backpack and more;
- Improved weapon modification capacity and functionality;
- UI fixes for crafting and potion brewing;
- And much more!
We hope you check out this version of Swordhaven and give us your feedback.
