Greetings, adventurers!

Today, Archaelund has been listed on Steam's main page as "Daily Deal", a curated selection of great games offered at the best prices. It is the first time Archaelund goes on sale, and it is a great opportunity to buy it at a price very similar to the original Early Access release price.

Enough merchant talk, let's talk now about the good things to come.

0.9 Release is around the corner

Most of the features listed on the roadmap for 0.9 are already released as of 0.8.5, past month. Only a few things are remaining, and we expect to have them out quickly.

Controller support is almost ready for the beta, and will likely be available to beta-testers next week, in release 0.8.6. A few weeks later, there should be another update with the conclusion of the main quest chapter 2, and some interesting new features, such as dual-wielding.

Looking at the Horizon: 0.10

I can already disclose some news about the next major milestone, version 0.10. It is scheduled for the end of 2025 (estimated!), but it will likely be released in smaller installments; it will enlarge the world significantly, and expand character development through several levels, adding Advanced Careers to the game.

More importantly, 0.10 will also add detail to the existing areas, including dynamic quests and random encounters, and giving Companions a more active role at dialogues and other interactions.

Besides this, 0.10 will include localization to various languages, there will be more information about this during the summer.

If Archaelund's current content includes about 55h of unique gameplay, I expect 0.10 to reach 75-80h.

If time allows, I might also add some improvements to animations and UI redesign, but it is likely that I choose to delay these until 1.0 release is real close.
