Game Updates & Demo Plans

Hello!  It has been a while since I last updated the game page/blogs with new stuff.  I kind of gave up trying to keep this up to pace with the RPGMaker.net game page.  The markdowns between the two sites are very different and it was a real pain converting the RMN posts to work here on Itch, especially for the extremely long posts.

Over on the other page all of the game mechanics blogs have been posted.  So at this point, the game mechanics are locked in more or less.  I have also started working on a lore blog series that is designed to keep those interested in the game fed and allow you to learn more about the game's world via its history.  Right now I'm working on going through the nations in the modern era and  releasing the historical lore from their origins to the present time during the game.  The lore blogs for the Felgarin Empire are completed and I am working on collating the lore for the United Nations of Gol.

These are extremely long blogs, many of them max out the character limit for blog posts (65K).  They are spoiler free as possible in terms of the game's story, but technically you could consider these spoilers if you wanted to go into the game without any background information at all.  99% of what will be in these lore blogs is not relevant to the story per-say, but could be with enough context and story clues as you progress through the game; just a warning.

I have announced a tentative schedule for the demo release over on the RMN page.  The long and short of it is that the release window is early next year to mid-year at the time the post was made.  That time frame is probably going to slip significantly.  I am currently working on a project for a client that has gone past the estimated completion date.  The demo timing depends greatly on when that project is finished as it consumes much of my non-work hours.

For more information about the demo and how the Patreon alpha acccess + benefits will work, see the post over on the RMN page for now.  I am working on an official announcement for the demo here on Itch which will have an updated release window.

Thanks for your interest in the project, progress on the game will be resuming in the near future.
