DEEP BREATH BEFORE THE PLUNGE UPDATE
DEEP BREATH BEFORE THE PLUNGE FULL

As you work on a game, you discover the mistakes you made earlier in the game when they come and haunt you. Yesterday Sam, with a little help from yours truly, but mostly Sam, fitted subtitles to our lines of dialog. We will now be able to make the best game that we can, and weвЂ™re very excited about whatвЂ™s coming. We cannot always show what is going on behind closed doors at the studio and the game has become so much bigger since we first announced the project. But the game has evolved in alignment with the publicвЂ™s expectations. It might not have been obvious how much we have been growing as a studio and how much the scope of the game has changed.

The new price has ruffled some feathers.

The game has changed a great deal since the Early Access release, so if you see people around talking about вЂњjust another survival gameвЂќ, weвЂ™d appreciate if you pointed them in the direction of recent changes :) A lot of gamers who havenвЂ™t played the game think it is currently just a survival sandbox, completely unaware that it contains around 90 fully voiced over encounters or that you can remove the survival settings.

The final game will contain the full story we have been working on for the past 3 years.

WeвЂ™ll explain more next week, but for now the main reason we announced the price was to make sure no one felt like they were being snuck up on.

We wanted to let you know about the price in advance because it is the right thing to do.

We can now concentrate all of our efforts on making the story the best it can be.

As weвЂ™ve said before, maintaining the Early Access build and the story build as separate entities is difficult, and becoming unworkable.

DEEP BREATH BEFORE THE PLUNGE UPDATE

We are releasing the last major update on the 16th, and then weвЂ™ll be working full time on the story and the 1.0 release.

The full game is not releasing on the 16th.

We saw a lot of misinformation going around, and wanted to make sure we cleared things up: Last week we posted our first message that the Early Access discount price was reaching its full price on the 16th. As you know by now, we will be releasing the Life in Technicolour update on August 16! This is really exciting because it is the last major update before the final release of the game.
