Weekly Devlog - Early Access scope freeze (pt.1)

Overview

This week’s goal was to get our scope in order and gain a clear picture of what needs to be delivered for Early Access.

Details

The game has grown quite large over time, and getting a full overview of deliverables will take at least two weeks instead of one.

With timelines tightening, a lot is being trimmed from the Early Access scope to focus on delivering the highest possible quality for the remaining content.

High-level metrics of what to expect (subject to change):

• 10 NPCs

• 1 Dungeon

• 1 Boss

• 11 Zones

• 5 Quests (likely to increase significantly)

And much more still being defined.

Next Steps

Next week, the Early Access scope freeze continues.

Bonus

As a small bonus, we’ve also been working on the game itself. Here’s our new NPC — a character with a unique mechanic not often seen elsewhere.
