Hey all
It's Igor from Dreamatrix Game Studios.
We have just released the biggest update for Wave of Darkness yet, and have announced the release date (out of Early Access).
Also, we have mentioned RPGWatch in the text for the update, and you'll see why
It's quite a long read, but we would appreciate if you would go through all of it
After four months of hard work and battles with all kind of murky villains during Early Access, we are proud to announce that Wave of Darkness is getting ready for the full release at 5th of November 2015!
During the Wave of Darkness Early Access, we have been astonished by the amount of good and positive vibrations among the community who wanted to help with great ideas, bug reports and, naturally, constructive criticism.
Majority of your suggestions, bug reports and some criticism resulted in five major patches and several smaller patches which helped Wave of Darkness to become a more stable, more robust, and ultimately a better RPG title. All in all, during Early Access development stage we have applied over 70 game fixes and over 15 new features; some bigger, some smaller.
Check the full Wave of Darkness 1.40 changelog on the following link.
We would also like to mention the incredible community at RPGWatch who helped us with suggestions and ideas for our RPG title, as well as being awesome and friendly towards our community manager, Iggy. But, not only that.
One of the members of RPGWatch community, Jim Barrish, better known as CRPGNUT offered to generously help us with his voice overs for the future tutorials or game characters.
It is an absolute pleasure to do this work when the community joins hands with the developer in creating a better game.
Getting released is NOT "that's it folks, we are done here"
The release for us simply means that we are now declaring Wave of Darkness a complete rounded product. It isn’t perfect, with every patch released our wish list grows even further.
You will continue to receive updates with the same frequency as during the Early Access development stage, we will continue talking with you on Kickstarter and Steam discussion boards, and we will continue listening to your ideas and suggestions.
What are the next steps?
With the full Wave of Darkness release getting closer by the day, we have another big promise to keep; we have to start working on physical rewards for our Kickstarter backers.
We would also like to expand the Wave of Darkness community as much as possible. As you most probably know, for an indie developer without the marketing budget it is quite challenging to break through to relevant media.
Most of the gaming web pages so far told us they will wait for the final release as they (usually) do not review titles in Early Access. Also, many gamers tend to avoid Early Access titles, and even if they don’t, our visibility on the Steam is pretty low right now.
Not only that, but being too long in Early Access can be counterproductive: Some titles on Steam are for "eons" in Early Access, but we don't want that. We have rounded up all the features we want in the game and integrated them.
Please spread the word about the Wave of Darkness.
Thank you all for your involvement.
