A word from our community manager during Gamescom: "YOU PIECE OF S**T FINGERS WHY YOU ARE NOT SCORING GOALS???"

Graviators bring some electrified battles onto your screens. It's like pong but in 2020's. Grab a ball onto your gravitation field and dash to slam the ball to a goal. Sounds easy, right? Try it and do not blame us when you start hating your friends.

Early Access Major Update #1

Dear Destiny's Sword Community,

We hope this message finds you in good spirits and excellent health. Today, we have an important update to share about the development of Destiny's Sword.

First and foremost, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your support throughout our development process. Your encouragement, feedback, and enthusiasm have been the driving force behind our continued efforts to create a truly unique gaming experience.

As many of you know, the road to creating Destiny's Sword has been a challenging one. We set out with ambitious plans and dreams, but along the way, we faced numerous hurdles and setbacks, including being unable to raise the funding necessary to complete the MMO experience we had hoped to provide.

Nevertheless, our team has remained steadfast in our commitment to deliver a game that we can all be proud of.

The funding shortfall forced us to pivot from our original plans. We cut the 3D and multiplayer functionality from the first versions of the game, allowing us to focus on creating a single-player, living narrative, graphic adventure experience that embodies the essence of Destiny's Sword.

We are thrilled to say that this first version of Destiny's Sword has reached a state that we are truly proud of. We feel the game's unique Insight Engine psychological simulation, coupled with our immersive 2D artwork, offers an engaging and captivating narrative adventure. The story and characters evolve based on your actions and decisions, creating a personalized experience for each player.

As we continue to strive to secure funding to expand and enhance Destiny's Sword, your support is essential. If you have tried the game earlier during its early access phase, we urge you to give it another try. Experience the latest version of Destiny's Sword, and if you enjoy the journey, we kindly request you to leave a positive review. Positive reviews are instrumental in attracting funding partners who can help us bring our grand vision to life.

We genuinely believe that Destiny's Sword has the potential to become something special, and we are excited about the future possibilities. Your support and feedback remain invaluable as we navigate this chapter in our journey.

Thank you once again for being an essential part of the Destiny's Sword community. Your enthusiasm and encouragement have kept us going, even during the most challenging moments.

We look forward to sharing more exciting updates and progress with you in the coming months.

With heartfelt appreciation,

The 2Dogs Development team
