Heralds of the Avirentes: some interesting news (Patreon)

Greetings, brave om’veri! We hope that you’re safe and doing well!

As you already know, this week has become a crucial point in the history of our game development – its page had finally been created and published on Steam distribution platform! However, the game itself can’t yet be purchased – we still need some time to polish it as much as possible before the Early Access release. Nevertheless, you can support the game right away by wishlisting it – Steam analytics takes into account the number of players that added the game to their wishlists and respectively boosts chances for it to appear on different pages of the store, including recommendations and sections of future releases.

Thus, this news caused some particular changes that will be implemented into the Patreon development schedule.

First of all, the Public TEST Version WILL NO LONGER BE UPDATED

Thus, PTV (public test version) will no longer receive content updates. However, we are planning to update it to the Final Demo Version (FDM), which means the following: current PTV will receive all the necessary hotfixes, updated translation, and improvements as well as some minor content update to fit exactly 1/3 playable part of the game. We’re also going to polish all the remaining mechanics and perform brief testing to fix all found bugs, typos and inconsistencies. After that FDM will be uploaded to the data storage replacing PVT, however, FDM will no longer receive any content updates (excluding hotfixes to found critical bugs). It will remain available to everyone for free on Patreon and later it will be transitioned to Steam as playable demo (PD).

Patrons who are planning on supporting our game further will be receiving monthly updates as usual. Moreover, all major content updates will be available to our Patrons some time earlier before their initial release on Steam Early Access. The release delay is subject to change. Moreover, the Patreon releases might contain bugs and errors that can potentially impact the playability of the current game version.

All Patrons who have been supporting our game up to January 2023 are eligible to receive free exclusive Steam key of the game - Spiritsinger Edition!

- Base game – standard version of Heralds of Averintes Chapter 1: Wings of Change;
