Hello adventurers! As a great philosopher once said, "a good game is late until it ships, but a rushed game is bad forever". Or something like that. So it goes with game development! But we've confirmed with our Japanese & Chinese localization partners (the latter of which is our Chinese publisher Doyoyo games) that [b]September 17th[/b] is our v1.0 release date. [b]For real[/b]. There's another saying that the first 80% of game development is the hard part, but the last 80% is the [i]really[/i] hard part. When it comes to QA, polish, and localization, that is absolutely true, especially in a game as text-heavy as Flowstone Saga. We've been setting release date targets based on predictions of when launch-critical tasks would be done, such as localization QA, and then evaluating the progress as those dates approach. But as of today, the localization is COMPLETELY done and everything left is simply QA. Fixing text, fixing bugs, polish, game balance, that kind of stuff. Which means we can confidently set a specific date without any external factors involved, which once again is [b]September 17th[/b]. 2024, of course. We have taken every minute of extended time to make the game as good as possible for v1.0, and naturally we have plans for post-launch as well :-) We've been working on Flowstone Saga since 2018 and we cannot wait to truly release it to the world. THANK YOU to everyone who has supported and wishlisted the game, played the demo, supported us on Kickstarter... it has been a hell of a ride but the end is really and truly in sight.
