Let's start with a good news :
Deisim has been nominated to the Belgian Games Award 2019 in the best VR category! I can't find the words to express how honored I feel to see Deisim's name in the same list as awesome games like Space Pirate Trainer.
There is not much content this month because I focused on the Oculus launch of Deisim and the remake of all the promo material was needed due to the new human models added by recent updates but I worked with my artist again to make new models for the Empire Age and I already started to include them in the game.
Roadmap
2018 is coming to an end and it is time to think about the future of Deisim. 2 years ago I expected to finish the game in 6 to 12 months. Today I hope to finish it in less than 3 years! Of course a lot of things has ben accomplished but there is still many things to do to achieve the God simulator that I wanted to make.
As you can see the next weeks will be focused on the design of systems that will be implemented in 2019 and then I will try to make a big update every 2 months with big chunks of new content. During the design phase I will also try to communicate more with you all about future plans and the result of my design work.
The game should be feature complete this summer and released in september after almost 3 years of early access. Your help during the beta phase will be critical to ensure that the final release is good enough and the stability of this beta should be really similar of the current game stability.
After the release the game will still be maintained and I will probably continue to add things to it on a regular basis but it will not be my only project anymore.
Industrial Age
The next step is the industrial age. Things are still not completely defined but the idea is to give you the possibility to add some precious and limited resources to the world in existing terrains like coal for example that will alow the humans to do their industrial revolution.
Thank you all for your reading!
I hope you will enjoy the future of Deisim and still be there in 2019 to give your precious feedback and keep me motivated as you did during theses 2 years. I feel really lucky to be suppoted by such an awesome community.
