Cleric Class Unlocked!
There have been some complaints about our business model. We want to do a shareware like model, where everyone can always play with their friends. Then if you want you can unlock the rest of the content with a one time purchase. We didn’t want to do crates and keys and turn the game into a hat store. :crate: :cleankey:
Making money was not our primary motivation for making Never Split the Party. But we would like to make enough to justify continued investment. We have many plans to expand the content of the game.
We are making the Cleric class free! ːsteamhappyː Playing as a Cleric makes the game easier because she is focused on defense. You don’t die as easily and your team will survive longer with a Cleric on the team.
We’re planning on adding more classes to the Fellowship Full Game Unlock, as well as adding challenge modes for additional replayability and increased difficulty. The challenge modes are planned to require the Fellowship Full Game Unlock for the host of the game.
Most of our negative reviews are from non-english languages, so we’ve also been working hard to improve our localization support. We apologize to those that have experience bugs. Please be patient with us as Never Split the Party is in early access.
