State of the Game - January 2018 Edition

Hey Steam Community!

Due to confusing elements, I feel it's important to keep the community up to date on how we are doing and what we're planning to do in the future. Many seemed to have missed it but we had quite a few announcements for 2018.

First and Most Importantly: Our community has a very, very active Discord where we regularly update people first and foremost. If you want your finger on the pulse of our development, go there, hang out, and play nice.

Now onto the rest!

  • We have a new Gameplay Trailer available! See more action than contained in the demo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9P7kOYTdk4
  • GalaxyTrail has welcomed a new developer and a new game into our fold. This game isn't going to be messing with FP2's development in any way as we're simply helping on the Distribution and Publishing end. That game is Grapple Force Rena, a side scrolling adventure with Bionic Commando and Mischief Makers style gamplay! Check it out here: http://www.grappleforce.com
  • Development is ongoing. We've had to push back our estimate for Q1/Q2 2019, however this is our official estimated release window. First time we've ever been pretty clear on when we'll finish the job. To anyone who expected it out in 2018, we apologize, as when we started the Greenlight we were a little overoptimistic.
  • The major reason for this time needed: THE NEW GAME IS HUGE. We're looking at 20+ levels, 4 characters, a Battle Arena, world map and hub areas filled with over 100 NPCs! Now we've been given a sedative and told to behave ourselves, so we're not going to be adding much more to our workload for the game now. But expect TONS of features.
  • Later this year we will be updating Freedom Planet 2's Sample Version into Freedom Planet 2: The Demo! We plan to feature around two additional levels and possibly some of the Battle Arena into the mix. We want you all to keep those appetites wet for the game.
  • Freedom Planet 1 will be recieving some QOL updates in the coming months, along with some bug fixes to the Demo Version. There's even more to come for Freedom Planet 1 as well, so be on the lookout for more news.
