Officially in crunch mode and BtS of LIGHTKRAVTE
🕑 Added 2022-03-23 12:34:42 +0000 UTCVIDEO ABOVE AND IMAGES SHARED HERE ARE WORKS IN PROGRESS.
Apologies for the lack of update for Feb. It's been a varying case of mild to server crunch mode here at AiD HQ, kind of like a plane going through pockets of unexpected turbulence... an adept metaphor if I say so myself since much like turbulence, every day we encounter an issue that requires some sort of minor course correction to ensure a safe landing, or, for our instance, a timely release.
That being said, I think we're at a point now where we can finally announce a locked down time for release of fault - StP - LIGHTKRAVTE so here goes; We're aiming to release LIGHTKRAVTE on the 29th of April. Who knows what sort of bullshit tornado's that will happen between now and then but that's the internal release date we're steadily heading towards for the moment.
Currently, I'd say LIGHTKRAVTE is at around 50% completion... which kinda doesn't really mean much because none of this type of content creation process is ever linear but that's probably an accurate assessment of where we currently stand today. Story has been locked down. English and Chinese translations have started a while back and they are both on track. Game is more or less functioning from beginning to end. All programming aspects are pretty much complete with no major hurdles left to tackle... it's just polish from now till the very last second we send it to Valve, and then polish some more for a day 1 patch (lol).
Where does LIGHTKRAVTE stands in the series?
LIGHTKRAVTE has grown into a significant piece of story. So much so in fact, that I think it's fair to say that it has reached official StP echelon and is no longer just a small add on to the fault series like Mhakna was in 2018. As such, I'm going to declare LIGHTKRAVTE as an official full fledged StP title. Wtf does that mean exactly? Here's how I think it's going to move forward: The fault seires will be broken up into 2 categories, the Milestone Series, which will be the main "journey" arc, and the StP Series, which will take place 5 years before the Milestone series. Does any of this have a practical difference to the user? No, not really. It's just our way to put LIGHTKRAVTE (and the subsequent StP arc stories) into a more substantial position under the light so it get's proper attention unlike Mhakna. Don't worry, we'll draw like, a roadmap or something that will be easier to understand at a glance once we announce LIGHTKRAVTE to the public.
Credits list will be compiled next month since I haven't had the time to compile the massive list. That gives everyone one more month to hop on!!... but I guess if you're reading this post you're probably already on it.
We're so busy this month that we might not have time to do monthly art. In place here are some beautiful BtS shots from the game. No spoilers (i think).
There's one image here drawn by me, Munisix, the writer director. Can you guess which one? (Though they are all of the same quality so it might be hard to tell.)
Hopefully we can do more interesting and fun updates nearing release but we're all kinda mentally drained right now lol.
Anyways, thanks everyone, we'll talk to you soon.
Stay safe.
