Repeated intro
Hey everyone,
What changed
- UI and audio
- Events
A lot has happened since our last announcement, so we’re pleased to share a summary update on development progress.
Sacred Fire participated in the Steam Tabletop Fest last month and we'd like to thank everyone for your feedback here on Steam forums and on Discord. This resulted in many small bug-fixes and tweaks in today’s update, as well as a small refinement to the female character's backstory description and starting effects.
We’re continuing to prepare localization, as the full launch will include support for a total of 8 languages. With almost 300,000 words in the game’s script, this is no small task!
Some of the languages were enabled by a grant from the Slovak Arts Council, which is of course wonderful but also required us to tweak our development timeline to fit certain requirements.
At least now we know we got it all working correctly. The translations of story texts are progressing at a good pace that should leave enough room for testing them with the community before we release them with the full release of the game.
Most importantly, writing on Act 3 continues. The many game states that have accumulated for Act 3 (characters being alive or not, characters being allied or not, reactions to achievements or betrayals of the player character, etc.) are raising the complexity of the scenes.
Thankfully, writing the two previous acts has prepared us for the challenge, and we’re making progress on the main conflict resolution scenes, as well on some more personal long awaited scenes, like the Raven rescue mission, and the Etain backstory revelation scenes.
We’ll keep you informed about our progress and the availability of a community testing build, leading up to a Q3 Act 3 release.
Thank you all for your words of encouragement, and for your continuous support and patience. If you haven't already, you can join the community on Discord, or leave feedback here on Steam forums about the game.
