Just a quick announcement to say thank you all for what you guys do best! I've been looking at the metrics and analytics and Don't Die! has received a ton of love between traffic to the page as well as wishlist adds! Super appreciative for the love and just makes me so much more excited to put as much into this game as possible as we get closer to the release in the fall.
Also, for those of you who are wanting to test the game, I have some news for you. I will be going on vacation in July and before then, I should have an alpha build ready for testing. It will be a simple and raw alpha to test the mechanics and gameplay before committing with updated sprites and whatnot.
This test will be conducted mid-July so you guys have enough time to play and give feedback and I have enough time to review your feedback and prepare development around it. I will still be able to answer all of your questions, as usual. There is a sign up for the test available here on the Harbingers of Creation Website. You do not need an account to sign up and once your application is received and has been looked at, you will receive an email to verify that we have received your application.
So, get in on the testing! The more the merrier and any and all input will be heeded so please join in!
With that, the Steam page will see updated art mid-August to be prettier as well as a new trailer featuring the new features. I will also start planning to show off the game more the closer we get to release in the fall.
Finally, an official date for release will be announced late-August or early September. Based on the beta tests that will come then and how much more work is needed will all change that date so once that's all set in stone, we're good for release. Keep posted on my Twitter or the Templarius Games Studios Twitter for updated information in realtime.
Anyway, hope to see you guys in July for the tests!
