After a long and hard work on the game and the beta-testing, which was exhausting for both testers and the team, we are ready to inform you that the remaster is finally finished! Last time we mentioned why the remaster is necessary, but we will repeat it again: during the work on Chapter One we leveled up, and the initial code could interfere greatly with our work on the game in the future.
In any case, what has been done - is done! Here is a list (and it's even incomplete) of what we reworked and added into the Crown:
- ► Changed the resolution of the game from 1280×720 to 1920×1080 (Full HD);
- ► Redrew the backgrounds: the Greenhouse, Goblin Cafe;
- ► Redrew Brilla and Emeral sprites;
- ► Redid the Inventory;
- ► Added the Journal;
- ► Rewrote some articles in the Mindscape, wrote new ones;
- ► Added an illustration to each article;
- ► Improved the quality of translation into English and got rid of missed mistakes;
- ► Changed the system of interactions with characters, made it more convenient;
and much more!
We also decided to please you with additional content that will slightly open the veil of secrecy over the story of Roui's family, and tell you a little more about the world of Shang-La. This DLC is free, and it's already included in the game - you don't need to download anything. But how to find it - we won't tell you Pick up the shovel and go look for it boldly. It will be difficult, but we believe in you!
DLC will add to the game:
- ► Two new characters;
- ► Two new music tracks from _Blacksmith_;
- ► Two new backgrounds;
- ► Three new Steam achievements
Alas, we also have some bad news. Since we had to redo the entire structure of the game, the old saves will not work anymore - please, delete them!. We are really very ashamed that it happened, but we didn't have a choice. However, do not be discouraged! We added the possibility to skip the text, so it will be easy to make up for lost time (and hunt for achievements, of course ;)).
Finally, the answer to the question: "When is the Second Chapter coming out?".
The answer is: we don't know. All this time we were also actively working on it and we did not forget about it for a minute. Despite the setbacks and serious problems that haunted us throughout the year, we did not give up and we are still focused on the Crown. But naming the specific dates isn't our way. Yes, we are slow. But we are working on as much details as possible, we are paying attention to all the choices you made in the first chapter, even the minor ones. Moreover, in the new chapter, the script will also be divided into several routes.
In any case, judging by the amount of the content that we already have, we can say that the second chapter will be way longer than the first one.
