Hello again!
As we’re coming to the end of 2018 we, the team here at The Endless Mission, want to update you with some news and give you our thanks.
If it seems like we’ve been a bit quiet lately, it’s because we’ve been tirelessly working behind the scenes on something BIG and wanted to wait for the right time to make the following announcement...
This year, The Endless Mission has appeared at nearly a dozen conventions and shows. We’ve watched thousands of you play the game and have chatted with many of you and one of the questions we heard from just about everyone was: will it have multiplayer?
While multiplayer features are something we planned to add to the game eventually, the team has prioritized its development and got to work on making it happen sooner. Which is to say: there will be multiplayer functionality included with the Early Access launch of The Endless Mission!
As you might imagine, developing and implementing multiplayer is no easy task. It’s going to take time, additional resources, a lot of work, and we want to do it right. To that end, we have made the difficult decision to push the Early Access (and Beta) release date to 2019.
But… there’s a really good chance you’ve already guessed that.
With the extra time the team is also busy crafting what we are currently calling an “adventure mode.” Its goal is to create a more narrative and puzzle-driven experience for players who want more than just powerful creation tools. Plus, who doesn’t love an adventure?
We understand that many of you were excited to dive into The Endless Mission this year, but with more time being allocated to these keys features, we believe you’ll have an even more endlessly excellent experience. (See what we did there?)
Finally, we want to say thank you for all of your support this past year. All the high-fives and fist-bumps at conventions, the tweets, the comments, and the emails from you all mean the world to us as we continue on the adventure that is The Endless Mission.
Have a wonderful end of the year and we’ll be back in 2019 with more announcements, more fun, and probably (definitely) many more GIFs.
Best,
The Endless Mission Team
