What changed

0 fixes1 addition3 changes0 removals
  • Gameplay
  • Balance
changedAfter internal play-testing, there are still a few items that I want to be able to include with the first Alpha build before I deliver it to you all. This includes an updated opening, reworking the blight (the primary antagonist in the game), and including the world growing mechanic. While Alpha is an admitted early version of the game, I still want your first hands-on with OddFauna to be a great experience. That’s really important to me.
changedWhile I’m not able to give an exact date for when Alpha will launch, we are talking weeks, and not months. To be honest, it has been stressful. I don’t want to let people down. However, to maintain my mental health, it’s been helpful to focus on getting the work done and not focusing on the deadline.
changedI’m going to step aside from email, social, and discord while I focus on the Alpha development and launch, but I will continue to have help in that department with our terrific Discord mods.
addedHead over to our Discord to see gifs of some new OddFauna as a little something to tide you over in the meantime!

Dear OddFauna fans,

Today, I’m writing to you to say OddFauna Alpha progress continues, and it’s going well, but sadly Alpha access won’t be available by the end of this month. Unfortunately, I’m dealing with some things that are out of my control.

Happily, I’ve worked out how to best deploy the Alpha on Steam so that should not be an issue when it’s time to launch. You should know: it’s going to take some time to be able to deliver Steam keys to everyone. I appreciate your patience when I dole out those keys. Along with the keys, I plan to also include a helpful “how-to-guide” on Steam keys for those who may be unfamiliar. If you’ve never used Steam and are awaiting OddFauna Alpha, please download Steam now and start getting acquainted!

Thank you so much for understanding. I would love to get this Alpha to you as soon as possible, but I want to make sure that even this early version of the game is right. We’re an incredibly small team (myself, Emma, and our part-time freelancer), and we’re grateful for your patience and for your loyal support. Thank you!

Gratefully yours, Cliff
