Maxvorstadt: I now read on the developers webpage, that it won`t be released today and that there is no date for the release now. Seems as if we have to wait a few more months longer. Dang, I definitely want this game!

Exsurgent: I've been eagerly awaiting SKALDs release next week, but I've only just now realized that it's gonna be an Early Access release initially. So I was hoping we could maybe get some additional info on what to expect from this release on GOG:

- Will the game release on GOG as in-dev next week or will it be released here later on, once it's fully finished? Just asking because the GOG store does not have the game marked as "in-dev" yet.
- If the game is released here as an in-dev version, can we expect it to be updated alongside the Steam version or will this be one of these cases where the GOG version is updated less frequently, only with the "major milestones"?

Anyways, looking forward to the game!

Maxvorstadt: Yep, the demo is still v 2.0. Hm, doesn`t look good to me. Seems as if the developer don`t really cares for the GOG version. That makes me cautious, in such cases it`s likely that the developer won`t release patches on GOG ever, so I`m thinking about waiting for the official release of the complete game.

Scape-IT: Hi there and I'm so sorry for missing this post! I thought I had alerts turned on for GOG but seems not :-)

Yeah as you saw, I postponed launch till later this year. You can read more about in on the devlog but in short, it comes down to me having gotten quite a bit of polish and wanting to iterate on it a bit more to get the game polished before EA.

The plan is to support the game equally on Steam and GOG. A minor issue is that GOGs update system for new builds is a bit slower so it might lag a few days behind Steam BUT it should get all the same builds.

As for continued support of the game, feel free to join our excellent Discord:

Hey man! See the answer above. I submit all my builds to GOG at the same time as Steam but the way it is set up now, builds are uploaded by the GOG staff and I'm sorry to say they are a bit slow for my liking.

I'm looking into fixing this and we'll see how it goes. The big issue isn't really for major updates but needless to say it becomes problematic for fire-patching where I might push several builds on the same day to plug holes.

Cheers,

AL

Maxvorstadt: Thanks for the info. Well, I hope then, that GOG brings the patch finally. So far, I`m having fun with the demo (The Prologue). It`s quite easy to get into the game and combat is fun. The controls are easy to learn and quite intuitive. The graphics remind me of Ultima and the good old C 64, although the graphics when you talk to someone or when story bits are told are a bit too detailed. But that fits good into the game.
So I`ll keep looking forward for the patch and the release. :-)

Oh, and one question: Why didn`t you get yourself a developer account on GOG instead of a normal one?

Scape-IT: Hmm dev account you say? TBH I didn't even know that was an option :-) I'll certainly look into it!

Thanks!
