SAILERIUS'S PROFILE

author=AxelRantila
How's the development coming along?

Extremely well. The majority of the assets are done and we've been working harder and more consistently than at any other part of the development cycle. The big remaining outlier is the battle system and the assets for it.

Let me know if/when you do a Steam Greenlight.

Will do. We're planning to come out of the shadows like the boogeyman and start seriously marketing once we have the new trailer done, which will kick off the Greenlight campaign.

Also, how is METIS coming along? Is it ready for an engine profile here yet?

We've released a game (The Vestibule) with it, but I'd say it's still premature.

What platforms will you be rolling out beta testing to first?

PC first. Android will probably come second (although I might hit Ouya second since it's literally Android, but easier), but not until the PC version is squared away. I'm going to do it one platform at a time.

Most likely, we'll do PC then hit all the mobile platforms since the tough part is going to be making sure the UI plays nicely with a touchscreen. Then hit Mac and Linux on the way back around for the like 2 people who play games on them.

Are you planning on making some kind of Season Pass available for the game?

Aside from Tidebreaker, there's not planned to be any DLC other than the additional episodes and, if that changes, it'll be made available to KS backers free of charge (e.g., anyone who pledged for EP1 will get all EP1 DLC, anyone who pledged for every episode will get all DLC).

We are planning for a "Paradox Prince Bundle" though, which includes EP1-3, the OST, Tidebreaker, and maybe some other bonus that hasn't been decided on yet. I think it'll be around $30.

Is the PC distribution platform decided yet?

Ideally Steam but we'll see how that pans out. Implementing things like cloud saves and achievements multiple times is going to be kind of annoying, so I don't want there to be a ton of different APIs to support on PC.

Although we'll be testing on PC and releasing the game to backers on PC first, it'll likely be the last platform we publicly release on since we're planning to hold off until it's accepted onto Steam (otherwise, we'd need to maintain two separate versions of it, which would be annoying and add to fragmentation).

We made a completed tech demo (which was the goal) but the team disbanded after graduation, so it'll never be a complete game.

Officially, the CE version of Act III is also called Act III, but it can be differentiated by calling it CE Act III or Act III CE. The reason for the "+" in I and II is because the title changed and significant changes to the story were made, whereas Act III is largely the same.
