Let’s talk in more detail about each:ĬLAIMSClaims now are more streamlined - you don’t have to gather influence in order to claim a system, the process starts automatically when a system is explored by you to a high level though an Exploration Expedition. This will be a beta limited to 100 people, so if you are interested, sign up soon!! Due to the substantially new content of this beta, we are closely limiting both the number and what can be shared from the beta.Īs for the game itself, we’ve been very busy with updating some core systems, including how claims work, creating new colonies, science, promotion/replacement of positions, and the emperor system. If you are interested in joining the beta, please sign up here: To that end, we are announcing our next beta! It will start on June 10, and will go for 2 weeks. We will be working on the documentation - now that the game is locked in, we can complete the digital manual (yes, there will be a 300+ page old-fashioned manual!) as well as the in-game documentation (tutorial, tooltips, in-game encyclopedia). Now, before everyone breaks out champagne and credit cards, does that mean we’re done with the game? Not at all, but it does mean that the foundation of the game is complete and we are now able to start extensive testing on that foundation, while working extensively on the 3 ‘B’s of game development (bugs, balance, and betas). In addition, partially as a result of the tremendous progress we’ve made with the game since the start of 2022, we have made the decision along with our publisher, Hooded Horse, to forego the early access period, take some additional development time to put out a complete, stable, fun product, and sell Alliance as a 1.0 product from Day One, with of course significant support, free updates, and some fun features we plan to add post-release! We have not yet made a release date announcement, but know that it will be measured in months, and we fully expect to release Alliance in 2022. And believe me, it’s been a long, twisty road to get to this point, but we are unbelievably excited to share that news! What does that mean? All core systems are locked down and are in the game, much of our new art, music, and characters are in, and 98% of UI updates will be in. I know it’s been quite a while since we’ve given a substantial update about Alliance, so I wanted to give everyone an update on the game, our next beta, and some information on some new and updated systems in the game.īut… first of all, I wanted to share some very exciting information, and in doing so type some words I thought I’d never get to type when this project started almost seven years ago:Īs of the end of next week, we will have completed the core game of Alliance of the Sacred Suns.
