Developer Update - Version 1.0
It's official: we're ready to welcome more people to Wenngrove. Spellfarers is moving out of Early Access today and into Version 1.0!
Over the last few months, we've implemented a number of the major features of the Version 1.0 release target. The four seasons now come with unique visual changes to Wenngrove scenery: snow falls and melts, foliage changes colour, and more as the seasons change throughout the year. You can pet your Familiar (very important). Cutscenes are complete for all major story quests. We've made hundreds of bug fixes and improvements. And much more!
Beyond that, we are now ready to kick off Wenngrove's seasonal festivals! Early Access players got the first look at spring's Fairy Dust Festival, and coming up this summer is the Waterfront Festival. Players will be able to partake in these festivals alongside the townsfolk; with new activities to do each season, as well as unique furniture, rewards, and clothing. You might even be able to unlock magical new forms for your Familiar!
This doesn't mean we're done yet! We are continuing to update Spellfarers as we move towards releasing the game on other platforms, so expect even more improvements to come as well as new content.
We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of the players who came with us on the Early Access journey and helped shape the future of Spellfarers with their feedback. Spellfarers wouldn't be the same without you!
We can't wait for you to see what we have in store over the next year of Spellfarers. See you in Wenngrove!
