This week we've got a pretty major announcement to make, one that many of you have been asking about lately. Apologies for being a bit hush-hush with this until now, but we wanted to make sure that we were totally confident before sharing anything.
If you've been following our dev blogs on Steam, or even on our website before our Steam page went live, you know we've been hard at work bringing this game to life for a long time, just over 2 years in fact. P.A.M.E.L.A. is our first game here at NVYVE Studios, and the development process has included an equal share of successes and hardships, as fellow developers will be intimately familiar with. We're all perfectionists, and the last thing we want is to fall short of meeting your expectations when we release P.A.M.E.L.A..
The news this week, after weighing the pros and cons, is that we're pushing back our previously stated "Fall" release date. I'm extremely proud of what we've accomplished thus far, and if you've been keeping up with our dev blogs, hopefully you'll be able to see that we've been pushing constantly to both build a great game and be as transparent as possible. Development is moving at a great pace, and we know that with a few more months we'll be able to add a ton of great new content and polish for you to experience at launch.
So, you might be wondering, when ARE we releasing? We're able to pinpoint a window with a high degree of confidence at this point, and that window is "February 2017". This will give us some much needed extra time to add features and content, as well as polishing what's there. While I can't pinpoint an exact day to mark on your calendars just yet, rest assured that we'll be announcing a firm date shortly into the New Year, as soon as we're able to do so.
Hopefully you'll agree with us in prioritizing a stronger launch over an earlier launch. As gamers, we've all been burnt by picking up a game right at launch, only to find ourselves wishing we had waited a few months for things to smooth out. Like I said above, transparency is very important to us; it's why we make a point of writing these weekly updates, and it's why we're being as honest and open as possible about the reasoning behind this delay. We're extremely excited about how things have been progressing, and can't wait for you all to get your hands on P.A.M.E.L.A. early next year!
And as always, we've got the usual progress update below:
