Elders World [ALPHA] - Introduction
Since the Alpha version has been published switched to Itch.io, here is a bit of information about the project and what to expect in the Itch Devlog.
The developement of this ambitious project in that format started on 2023-03-26. That being said, I've been imaginating and writing about the universe and various stories that takes place into it for a few years now.
Since late March 2023, regular advancements were made and the additions and updates are all listed in the in-game Changelog if you are curious.
As mentioned, in it's full scope this project is pretty ambitious due to the large amount of content required to make it compelling. After weeks thinking carefully about the best way to proceed, I settled for pretty complete minimum content and phase I which regroups multiple Places/Cities, multiple missions, basic professions and the foundations of the main story as well as some other side content. This means that the scope of content available is decent but remains limited, although it's quite complete and you have a lot of things to explore.
This point (estimated to be reached before 2024, if all goes well), should mark the official launch of the project.
By then, all major systems should be validated and settled (by You!).
This is to ensure that after this point your backups won't get corrupted because a major mechanic has changed and that everything is standardized to ensure stability and consistancy.
Before the official launch, it'd be amazing to receive some feedback from various players sharing their experience, suggestions and any eventual bug encountered. Feel free to open a topic on the game page to discuss anything related to the project.
After the official launch, there'll be monthly updates adding new content and evolutions to the game.
Finally, as for what to expect here in the future, I'll publish anytime a relatively major update is made to the project and might write a few bits about the game design considerations as well as the lore, but later down the road to avoid any spoilers for now.
Thank you very much for your attention if you've just read this announcement, it means a lot.
I hope that you'll enjoy your experience in Elders World!
