Hi everybody! Firstly I want to thank everybody who believed in the game enough to take the risk on arly Access, I understand it has a bad reputation these days and the feedback it has generated has been invaluable.
I want to lay down the plan for this month's updates.
Please note these are plans that can change with very little notice, life can sometimes get in the way, but I have largely managed to stick to my deadlines so far and hope I can continue to do so.
Towards the end of the month I should have most of the missing side content finished, this includes:
1.0 Update Slated for Thursday 26th September
- Houses in Haven Meadow
- Circus (Clayfield Auditorium)
- Ministry of Truth
- Little Minster
- Broken Underground Train - Initiated at random fast travel event.
- Swimming Baths
- New Game+
Post 1.0 Updates
After 1.0 I'll be starting work on localization, I'll be introducing new languages in line with how popular the language is with players. I'll also continue the usual small changes and fixes as required.
For the Early Access launch, in return for the valuable feedback that would come with it, I priced the game at a 30% markdown of it's intended price.
For this reason, the 1.0 update will come with a price increase on September 26, the price will be going from:
$17.99 USD / £14.99 GBP / €17.49 EUR
to
$24.99 USD / £20.99 GBP / €24.50 EUR
I believe this to be a fair price for the game, but I am happy to take feedback on this.
Note, 1.0 does not mean updates will stop. Rather it just means the game is content complete and considered "finished" enough to remove the Early Access tag. I quote the word "finished" because a game is never truly finished, it can be tweaked and changed forever.
I will continue to make quality of life changes and additions for as long as the game will benefit from it.
