State of Development

Greetings, In this state of development you will learn about the release window, the pricing change, and the gameplay additions planned for Phase 3. Right now, Chapter 3 is in its final stages of development, so without further ado, let's begin with a few in-engine renders for the environments completed so far.

Chapter 3 will release in Q1 2023.

A proper date will be announced to the Alder Forge community in mid to late January 2023.

As mentioned in the game announcement"March 18th, 2021", the Early Access panel "Storefront", and also the transition to E.A Phase 2, the price will be raised with each chapter release until launch.

For Phase 3 the price change will be as the following: $12.99 to $14.99 Soundtrack DLC

$3.99 to $4.99

This change will occur in the next 72 hours, please be warned.

If you have already bought the Alder Forge, this pricing change does not concern you. You already own all the chapters that will release in the future.

Phase 3 will give the players the ability to adjust the game difficulty to their preferences. Choosing between "Easy", "Normal", and "Hard" will automatically set the enemies' stats to make things easier or harder for you, depending on your choice.

The game difficulty options will be designed to be adjusted by the players anytime they want (Except during battles), either from the Game Main Menu or the Pause Menu.

Warning! Some Boss fights achievements will not be unlocked if you won the said battle in Easy Mode.

As mentioned before, chapter 3 is where the story comes full circle to the battle of Voxenhold (Prolepsis). In chapter 3, you will play the same events as in the Prolepsis but from different P.O.Vs as the following: P.O.V 1: Adriel, Mirabelle and Cassandra. P.O.V 2: Leo. P.O.V 3: Fiona. I will continue working on the final elements for Chapter 3, and the next State of Development will bring the release date and the trailer for Chapter 3.
