Hello everyone,

changedWhile the testing build contains only a handful of scenes for now -- like another set of rewards and dynamically generated dreams as you rest after the big Act 2 battle -- it contains also the long awaited resolution to your and Etain’s childhood friendship backstory for both male and female protagonists.
changedLike last time, the testing build will be expanded gradually with more scenes, advancing your Sacred Fire journey towards its grand finale. Please note that the testing build does not contain voice-over, as we need to fix all the bugs in Act 3 first before recording with the voice talent.
changedAs mentioned before the decision to cut no corners when writing Act 3 increased its scope considerably. And while we think the experience, without all the different resolutions and endings, would be crippled, unfortunately the game won’t be ready for a full release this summer.
changedThe increased scope and the consequent production hurdles ended up pushing the full release into the next year. We’ll be narrowing the release down as soon as the testing of Act 3 is over.
addedI wish things would be easier and I could deliver the game to you faster. Yet, we’re making progress and sticking to making sure experiencing Sacred Fire’s 1.0 breadth and depth will be an exceptional experience for both new and long-term fans.
