Hello wonderful reader!
Welcome to our first big developer’s blog. There’s a number of things to go over. We want to let you guys know how much has been done and what is currently in the works. Once again, a quick reminder that Early Access includes a single campaign, the one that recounts the historic adventures and conquests of Alexander the Great as he conquered the Achaemenid Empire.
This first campaign, and many of its underlying systems and required art and animations have kept the team busy over the last 6 months of development. Building a good turn-based combat system is quite a task and the team has done fantastically well in this department. The design team has been slogging away at crafting the story, the 100+ random events, and the many, many tooltips that make a strategy game easily-digestible. And of course, bugs are being squashed.
As this dev blog’s title implies, we will set out a bit of a roadmap for the future of this game and its development. A beta version for testing will be our first big and holistic milestone. Then we will hope to release a demo which will allow those interested to download a concatenated version of the game and see if they like what we offer. Finally, the game will then enter early access where folks can pledge their support, play through the first campaign and enjoy multiplayer battles. Purchasers and followers can expect further updates and free additions through the Early Access period and then expect a full version of the game with all 2 additional campaigns that explore alternative historical outcomes had Alexander chosen a different direction to undertake his conquests.
Our followers, well-wishers and wishlisters can expect improvements being made in every aspect of the game at all times. We do not intend to stop until the product we have on our hands gives our audience their money’s worth and also provides dozens of hours of entertainment.
Wish us luck and don’t forget to wishlist our game!
