Hey everyone! Wanted to drop a note to cover some quick things

  • We're overwhelmed by the love and support everyone has shown for the game. We appreciate everyone playing the game! Continue to tell your friends and don't forget to leave a review. As we've stated a few times all the marketing of the game will come with 1.0
  • We won't have another update between now and 1.0's launch on Oct 21st (unless we uncover something catastrophic that requires a hotfix). 1.0 will be chocked full of content which is what players have been hungry for so we're hyper focused on polishing that and Cross Play. In case you forgot what that content is:
    • A brand new Wayfinder
    • A brand new open world area
    • Critical Role Supporter Pack
    • Cross Play
    • 2 brand new Lost Zones
    • 21 new armor sets for the 7 current Wayfinders
    • 6 brand new weapons
    • New mounts, skins, housing items and more!
  • We've seen tons of suggestions and we've read through all that feedback. Since we are so focused on 1.0 and nailing our launch, any of those suggestions or changes that have been requested will come in QoL 3 which will be post launch (no exact timing yet). Just wanted to set that expectation so you don't feel ignored. Besides the content outlined above, you'll see fixes and refinements that perhaps align with something you suggested.
  • What's after 1.0 you ask? We are hard at work on Mods and other updates to the game that will come post 1.0. We continue to monitor the sales and are hopeful that we'll be able to add content post 1.0, but as stated previously that is entirely on success and being being able to financially do so. Our first and foremost focus of the Echoes shift was to deliver a solid 1.0 product people have and can play forever. Anything beyond that is icing on the cake. See the first bullet point so you can help us actually make more content 

Thanks again for being part of the community. I'll be around!

Nice! Hope you got some big marketing push for the 1.0 launch! This is a great redemption arc

BIG is relative lol we are a small studio who is funding this ourselves so yes we'll have some marketing but as a single player, offline game thankfully that experience doesn't live and die based on player count.

Looking forward to it! Any timeline on Xbox release? I understand it won't be right at 1.0?

We hope to nail down a date soon, once we have it we'll share it. We will have it up on the store soon for wishlisting though!

Hell yeah! Super excited to see the new zone. Will it be different from how the other zones are structured considering it isn’t being designed for an mmo experience?

It's the largest zone we've made and has some pretty cool ways to traverse it. I think it feels very different than the others as there is a ton of verticality and we did make some changes when we made the pivot to single player, but the zone was well underway that we couldn't make drastic changes.

Hell yeah.

Aside from buying the supporter pack, is there anything else people can do to get the game out there? Selfishly I want it to grow lol

Honestly when we say leave a review because they help... they really do help! That and playing the game feed the Steam algo to show that it's active and then serve the store page to more players. Word of mouth is our best friend right now so tell your friends or favorite creator to check us out!

Honestly, not the game I originally bought or wanted, but you guys are winning me over with some quality work.

Not what we wanted to make either but appreciate you sticking with us through all the madness.

Just in terms of capturing 1.0 launch sales/hype, I’d suggest sending out a bunch of keys to streamers or doing sponsored material with content creators y’all like. Attach a bullet list of all the additions to the game since first launching into early access

sponsored material with content creators y’all like.

Again, we have plans, but they're limited due to our budget we can allocate here.
