Celestian Tales - Update# 1, Prototype Available

Ekuator Games has posted the first update for the relaunched Kickstarter Celestian Tales. In the update we get news a new Prototype is available, and the game is 43% funded.

Day One

This has truly been a remarkable day.

Just 24 hours ago we launched Celestian Tales: Old North to the world, and you answered. The first hour picked up great pace and we already got 10%. Halfway through the day, we reached $10,000 NZD, which is one-third of the target. Now, by the end of the first 24-hour, over 43% has been funded. That's almost half the target. In one day.

We know this might sound cliché, but we're really at loss of words. The amount of support you've given us is just tremendous. As developers, it fulfils us the most to know that there are people sharing the excitement. There are those who believe in what we do, who approve of our visions and contribute to it. When we think of that, all the sleepless nights suddenly felt worth it.

The whole Ekuator team sincerely thanks you for the trust you've given us.

Prototype Now Available

We originally wanted to have the prototype available for you to try on the very first day. However, some last-minute added features produced unprecedented errors. Our programmers got to it as soon as they could. Denny returned to the office at midnight, and Ray stayed up working on it until just a couple hours ago.

The result is a playable build you can try your hands on. It doesn't have the full richness and experience of a completed game, but features a lot of working systems such as dialogue, combat, environmental sounds, and event triggers. The prototype currently features only three out of the six main characters, but even that limitation still allows us to create some interactions between them.

The prototype is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. However, since none of us here uses Mac or Linux, we'd like to ask for your feedback if anything doesn't work or feel wrong.

Perhaps we shouldn't delay your journey any longer. Feel free to download and try it out, and as always, please don't hesitate to drop us a comment or two. Rest assured, your voices are always heard :)
