[h2]REALMS DEEP 2023[/h2] We are [i]thrilled[/i] to have [b]Zenith[/b] chosen to take part in [url=https://store.steampowered.com/sale/RealmsDeep2023?snr=1_5_9_]Realms Deep 2023[/url]! This project has always been rather niche. So having an event as prominent and well regarded as Realms Deep single us out is both incredibly flattering, and motivating!! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44163707/053a529d3eb9c00b757e16db5d238f4c71a59835.png[/img] We fully intended to have a playable version available for this event. Our apologies to anyone who landed on this page from the "Games with Demos" category. I don't think there's any way to drop out of that list at this stage?? The [i]why[/i] is a bit longer of a story... [h2]DEVELOPMENT UPDATE[/h2] [b]Zenith[/b] is a standalone Prequel to [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2075460/They_Speak_From_The_Abyss/]They Speak From The Abyss[/url]. This isn't a glorified demo, uploaded as a "Prologue", which has become a rather common developer trick here on Steam. While [b]Zenith[/b] features locations and character from the Main Game, it is fully it's own game and experience! [h3]Zenith will no longer be free[/h3] Our initial decision to make this Prequel available for Free was made when the game was a fraction of it's current size. [b]Zenith[/b] was originally conceived [u]7 MONTHS[/u] ago!! The project has grown a LOT since then! As an example, the game now features over [b]50 unique monsters[/b], and [b]30 originals tracks[/b] in the OST. With a growing scope, a challenging move to a new city mid-development, followed by Unity fully melting down - we had to re-evaluate a lot of things. It was decided that development will continue in Unity (starting over would be too costly), but not after [i]weeks[/i] spent agonizing over whether that was still feasible. Especially when Free releases could potentially end up [i]costing[/i] money to release with Unity's new Runtime Fee. That situation is a mess... It took quite some time to come to terms with it - but [b]Zenith[/b] will now be a paid release. We promise the price tag on this game won't break the bank! It will likely be somewhere close to $5 at launch. No release date is set - and unfortunately due to missing our original release target, we are unable to change it to anything other than the "Coming Soon" you currently see. A demo is in the works, and will be announced on [url=https://twitter.com/TheFifthKalpa]Nikki's twitter[/url] as soon as it's available! And be sure to [u][b]Wishlisht[/b][/u] the full game so you are notified for it's full release! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2393290/They_Speak_From_The_Abyss_Zenith/ -Graeme (2 Left Thumbs)
