Any estimate on final release, and how long will the game be?

[screeg]

I'm burned out playing EA titles for months waiting for devs to finish up... only for them to continue updating for months *after* the "final" release. I want to play a finished game.

I see from the forums that you weren't going to include save functionality because the game is meant to be finished in one session, or is that a joke..? That would be a shame since it looks so great.

Oh no, I meant I hadn't included it as of yet because of the play times. Save is definitely coming up if I can manage. Working on it now.

Successful runs can last from 1-5 hours depending on your expertise. Of course the majority of play in roguelikes is in dying and learning the systems. Additional branches should make it somewhat longer as well.

It's hard to say how long it'll be in EA. I'd like to finish in about one year but no promises. I have no interest in updating after release, excluding bug fixes.

Is there an (unoffocial) plan for a new game after release, or we'll cross that bridge when we get to it?

Hahaha. You're already asking me about my next project? 😂

I will say that I always keep a huge backlog of game ideas. Also, I try to participate in 7drl every year, so I plan to do that in the spring if I can. Right now I'm daydreaming about a game that focuses on the management aspects of The Walking Dead, but who knows what it will be next week.
