Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon - Development Update

Couchpotato spotted a new development update for Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon:

February Development Update

The snow area showcase is here!

Hello, Travelers!
We’re proudly presenting you this month’s dev update.

Before we start this update (and it will be a wild one! there’s TONS of new progress), we need to share one less-exciting news.

Remember, when in the last update we said, that after patch 0.9 there would be no more save wipes…? Yeah…. so that turned out not to be true, unfortunately.

Most probably, we will still have to save-wipe the game at 1.0. The reason for that is pretty simple—we need our tech team to 100% focus on optimization and Xbox & PlayStation ports. We estimated that keeping save files would be easier, but unfortunately, it turned out to be much more complex at this time. Before the release, we need to make sure that 1.0 is fully technically sound.

We will obviously make it very transparent on the Steam main page, we just wanted to take the time and tell you here too, with our explanation and apologies. We really didn’t want to mislead you, it's just… video game development is… let’s call it “agile” :D Unfortunately, things and plans have to adjust. Sorry for that folks!

Now, for some of the good news: Tainted Grail’s replayability will be very high:

• You can create and execute a lot of different builds
• There is A LOT of secrets hidden all around
• Your decisions will have big consequences in terms of the storyline

So, if you want to experience 0.9 in all its glory, go for it! We believe you'll still have a great time replaying Act 1 when 1.0 drops. But if you'd rather wait a few extra months for the full experience—that's completely fine too!

IMPORTANT: Last month to get the game at a special, lower Early Access price!
This is the last call to get the game at its current price. Remember that on the 25th of March, the new price will be 45 USD (or regional equivalent).

0.9 PATCH IS COMING! What can you expect?

• NEW language support! Here is a full list of translations that will be coming: English, Czech, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, French, and German.
• full Act 1 in 95% of the final quality;
• full English voice-over;
• about 15-20h of revamped gameplay in Act 1;
• NEW free demo!;
• and A LOT of surprises ;) We will have a full list next month, once the update goes live!
