It's been a while since the last update on Beta-1 or The Golden Rogue, our Patreon is dead and so is the activity on our Steam page. And the reason behind that is the development of the D'LIRIUM's new update being put on hold, as we told you before, due to the development of The Golden Rogue, which is being developed while surrounded in secrecy. And during the latest week we've made more progress than during the latest month!
Currently, The Golden Rogue is already looking like an almost finished product. The levels are all done and even though they are without a plot yet, they're fully passable. The most of the mechanics have been debugged and are ready. The levels are big and open. The game takes quite some time to pass, especially compared to the original D'LIRIUM. And that's where we've stummbled upon a big, or maybe even fatal problem. Even though the locations are so much better designed and drawn than in the original game, running through them and fighting the same enemies over and over is boring! We're absolutely sure that not adding a deversity of new enemies would make the game fail. That's why we offer our community to try and take a part in the game's development. The details will be in an announcement tomorrow.
Now, let's talk a bit about the reason we're posting this for. The development of The Golden Rogue will be put on hold for the period of three months due to me going abroad for the whole Winter. For the same reason, the original D'LIRIUM will not contain any Christmas or New Year updates. That doesn't mean I won't be working on the game at all, but any significant progress is not to be expected until the end of Winter. We'll try and release the game before Easter. But you'll have to be patient.
So, such is our uncertain piece of news for today. Don't beat us up, please. Everything will be back to normal when I return. Finishing The Golden Rogue in time will be my main priority.
