Launch Date

Greetings.

As promised in the transition to the Final Early Access Phase on August 4th, 2023, the Alder Forge Launch Date and the moment we will finally leave Early Acces are included in this community news section, and as a start here is the Launch and Final Trailer:

Video Subject: Alder Forge Launch Trailer.

• Are there any additional events coming with v1.0.0?

• Yes. The final optional event "Divine Weapons Pack" will be added with v1.0.0, plus all the additional optional events we have done since the start of Early Access a year and 9 months ago. More details about the "Divine Weapons Pack" will be shared with the community during the Launch alongside the v1.0.0 manifest.

  Is there going to be any change to the System requirements?

• The system requirements are the same as the ones during the announcement 2 years and a half ago, and will still support DX11-based GPU hardware.

  What is the launch date?

• If you skipped the "Launch Trailer", then the date is September 15th, 2023.

  What is the total text content in the game from start to end?

• The game's total word count is 182266 words.

  How long is the game?

• In my latest playtest, I finished the game in 31 hours and 39 minutes. I did not take any side activities, or talk to people, and I only did 3 optional events while moving quickly from story point to story point in "Normal Mode". Here is a proper detailed chrono-timed sheet from my last playtest:

  1. Prolepsis and Chapter 1: 8 Hours 09 Minutes

  2. Chapter 2: 7 Hours 20 Minutes

  3. Chapter 3: 9 Hours 21 Minutes

  4. Chapter 4: 6 Hours 49 Minutes

  Are there any plans for post-launch?

• It all depends on the game's performance during its transition from Early Access to Launch, and even so, I will continue to welcome your feedback.

Thank you for your continued support and appreciation for this world, characters, and story.

Kind Regards, Zine. E. Falouti
