As some of you may already know, our graduation from Early Access is soon upon us, scheduled for August 1st, less than a month from now! I'm not shaking, you're shaking.
For those of you just arriving or who haven't heard, here's what to expect for 1.0 launch and beyond:
- The base price will increase to $15.99! 'Cause we're worth it, baby.
- New updates will still be coming! Just not on the monthly/weekly basis you Early Access folks are used to. But rest assured, there's more coming!
- We'll be offering a super special, real cool, more expensive version of the game because isn't that what always happens. The Buried Treasure Edition will come with a PDF art book of all our miserable failed creations throughout development, and an expanded soundtrack with unused tracks.
- Since it gets asked a lot, YES we will be considering paid DLC on top of the free post-launch updates, as these can help continue to support the game's ongoing life.
- Leaderboards will be reset for full launch, so say a tearful goodbye to your current scores.
Whoo! Okay, I think that's the big stuff. What you can expect from us through the course of this next month is a steady stream of fixes and a few quality-of-life stuff, like the much-requested block feature for those persistent trolls, along with finishing-touches stuff like an intro cutscene! We're down in the nitty gritty now y'all. Get hype.
On that note, we just pushed a few fixes for some broken achievements today, here are the ones that should be fixed now:
- Put Your Little Hand In Mine
- Deep Sea Diplomats
- Resourceful
Happy diving as always, let us know what you want to see in WNTGD's future!
