We're excited to announce our plans to launch A College of Thirst & Claws in early access at the end of August. We will confirm a specific release date soon, subject to Steam's approval of our current game build.
The initial release will contain the first two episodes of the story. In terms of image numbers, these first two episodes will contain around 3,300 images in total. For comparison, this is a similar length to one Realm of The Seven Realms, for those of you who have played. There will be fewer sex scenes in these first two episodes compared to the number we have in The Seven Realms, but as we progress through the game, there will be many more added.
Initially, we planned to release individual seasons of ACTC, as we do with TSR; however, we’ve pivoted to making ACTC “one game” that we continue to update through the early access period until completion, rather than releasing it as separate seasons.
Alongside the first two episodes, the game will launch with other features you'd typically expect from a visual novel, such as choices with varying consequences, animated sex scenes with sounds, a scene-replay gallery, trophies, and a uniquely composed soundtrack. As we continue developing towards the “full release”, we plan to continually add new features with new episodes, in the hope of giving you a satisfying and complete experience once the game is fully complete.
At launch, the game will only be in English; however, as development progresses, we will add additional language support. The languages will likely mirror those supported by TSR.
Many of you likely first saw this game and maybe wishlisted it a while ago. Thanks for bearing with us while we got things back on track. We were a little too excited and announced the game a long time before it was ready. We learnt from announcing this too early, and we won’t make that mistake with our future projects.
We still have a lot to get done before we launch in August, so we’ll leave you with this for now. We will share a release date and other information about the game here over the next few weeks.
We can’t wait to introduce you to Lanstone and this new cast of characters!
If you haven't already, please consider wishlisting it, and sharing the page around. It will help a lot in preparation for the launch. Thanks for your support! :)
