Weekly development update #19
It's been a while since my last development update
The team and I are currently working on our next update, V0.05.
It will be the first big update and a significant step forward in the story after a hiatus of more than a year. V0.05 will complete Act 1 and also be the final update in the linear story format. Starting with Act 2, the game will be set in an open world - A world where YOU, the player, can decide what to do and when to do so! Everyone who played the original "The Gift" knows what I’m talking about
I will talk a lot more about the upcoming open world and of its features in the following weeks, especially after V0.05 is released. We are all focused on getting this done first.
Speaking of V0.05, the script is done, coding is done, and only rendering still needs more time, but we are on a good way there as well.
I hope to provide an exact release date soon and I wish you all a great weekend!
