Wave of Darkness will be released on November 5:

The new, HUGE Wave of Darkness update is LIVE + Release date!

Hi everyone!

Well, 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.

• added intro video
• added bunch of tooltips for character generation panels, character info panel, inventory, spellbook, maps panel, legendary items panel and quest log panel
• minimum number of inventory slots increased from 14 to 42 (see, we do listen to your suggestions ;-)
  
• added voiceover files for:[...]
• fixed bug with game crashing on alt+tab while in character generator or main menu
• fixed/changed/updated tons of NPC conversation texts (mostly changes regarding grammar, and some slight changes regarding quest objectives)
• fixed item generation bug when creating new characters (one where it was possible to get items such as weapons and armor with too high requirements, you were able to de-equip those items but were unable to equip them again)
• fixed 'Smash and Run' quest description in quest log panel
• fixed 'Dark Sisters' quest description in quest log panel
• fixed Lord Zetar script (one block of text was missing due to the bug in the script)
• fixed voiceover replay bug
• fixed material tile for danian temples that had incorrect texture (materials\lod\temple\danian_a\danian_temple_cc.dds)
• fixed material (materials\lod\miscellaneous\grave\dirt_grave.material) with wrong texture
• fixed material (materials\lod\foliage\replace\cat.material) with missing texture
• fixed bug in the maps panel where merchants had empty tooltip
• fixed bug in the maps panel where game sometimes crashed when you ran it on your bosses computer with Windows 10 OS

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. As more and more gamers join our community, we are sure that there will be an abundance of great new suggestions (and hopefully a very few bug reports) which will ensure continued post release development for a long and exciting time.

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.

We invite you to join our efforts once again, at the most important moment during this final stage, with the best vibe that you can help us create. Each and every new WoD player will contribute to the momentum which will in turn enable us to do amazing things for the game with future updates.

Please spread the word about the Wave of Darkness and be a regular visitor at the community hub.
Thank you Kickstarter backers, Paypal supporters and Early Access community for your involvement.

Your,

Dreamatrix Team
