As we promised in our recent statement regarding WRATH's development status, we will be sharing bi-weekly updates to keep everyone informed about the latest in our development. Here is the very first one.
A lot of work has been done on the intro level. This is a short, mostly narrative-driven level before Outlander embarks on his journey through the ruined and desolate land of Mourningvale.
We're in the middle of art-passing one of the levels in chapter 2 with gorgeous textures - can't wait to show you!
We've been working on the model for a new artifact called the Vicious Animous, can you guess what it does
That's it for now. Thank you for being patient with us as we work hard on this game.
Official statement regarding the status of WRATH: Aeon of Ruin
Greetings, WRATH Community!
Most of you already know this from watching Realms Deep 2021 where we made this announcement live, but some of you might have missed it - so here goes.
We’re not going to make the summer deadline for WRATH: Aeon of Ruin. Right now, we can’t give you a precise date on when this might happen, other than it will be sometime in 2022.
The team is working every single day. We’ve never seen anyone work as hard or as dedicated as these people. We are working so hard on it because we want it to be the very best game possible - that’s what you’ve been waiting for, after all. But we also don’t want our team to crunch. We all know and agree that crunch is bad, and is a problem in our industry. But we don’t have to make them crunch; these devs are working their butts off every day regardless. We know the meme is tired by now, but the whole “a delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is forever bad” thing is true. We want the best game possible, while not making our devs break their backs over it.
For those of you following the WRATH news on our Discord, you might already know that the team has been severely affected by the pandemic, and we had to make a lot of internal changes in order to even get to where we are now. These changes will continue. We are in a much better place now, thankfully.
One of the changes we are going to make is to give you bi-weekly updates on our community channels (Social Media, Steam etc.) . Many of you have written to us, asking “Are you still working on WRATH?”, and the fact that you feel you have to ask us that simply breaks our hearts. We never want you to feel like you are in the dark - we realize we haven’t been doing a good job of it up until now, and we want to remedy that.
These bi-weekly updates will tell you some of the things we’ve done since the previous bi-weekly update. It will be just a few lines saying, for example, “Fixed an enemy bug, changed the lighting on X map, re-worked a weapon” - sometimes we will include screenshots, but this cannot be promised for every update. It will be like a little treat!
We will do this because we want to be as transparent as possible moving forward, and we would rather give you small, consistent status updates than sporadic big status updates. These updates will be posted to the official WRATH Twitter, https://twitter.com/wrathgame, our Discord Channel, and on our Steam Community
We know this is a bummer - nobody is more bummed out about it than we are. But the game is coming. We are working every day. And you have so much to look forward to.
Best, 3D Realms, 1C and the WRATH team
