The time has come for an update. A big one. We're making progress. And we're getting closer to Early Access every day! As development continues, we estimate that our first Early Access build to be ready for release by the end of Fall 2021. Within the next few weeks, Alpha Backers will be getting a massive update. Visually we have made some heavy improvements including new VFX and animations across the board. The Eventide Hollow is also growing and changing as we prepare to implement the first dungeons into the game. Finally, the close-range combat system has been completely reworked to be simpler and more fun and engaging.
So, to get a glimpse of what we've been working on, we are excited to announce that we will be participating in the Gamescom Indie Arena Booth Selection and have prepared a playable demo version on Steam for everyone to try out! This demo is of course reduced in content from the main game – but we hope it gives you a taste of some of the changes we are making for the next update to the main game. For our Alpha Testers, we hope to have the update ready in early September to get your feedback!
Looking forward, our next major milestone will be the game’s first dungeon: The Old Mill. Once we have pushed that update out for our Alpha Backers we plan to continue polishing, fixing bugs and adding content. Our current goal is 3 full dungeons completed before Early Access.
As always, I’d like to extend a big thank you to everyone that has supported the project! We are making great progress and are so excited to share more updates with you in the near future. Enjoy the demo!
