Ahoy mateys! First off, thank you for all of your comments regarding last months publisher announcement and the first look at what Orphan Age currently looks like. As for the latter, we know the overall look probably feels very different with the brief glance provided, but it is our strongest belief that the changes bring the game more in-line with what was envisioned years ago, but now we have people talented enough to bring it to life. But of course, please keep in mind that a lot of what you will see these coming months is work in progress so things will shift and change. Speaking of shifting and changing, lets start this off with what some might see as a bit of bad news: tomorrow well be removing the Orphan Age demo from Steam. Simply put, its too old to be a fair representation of what the game will look like at launch. That being said, anyone who wants to keep playing it needs only to keep it installed on their PC as it wont be updated, but should continue working. Our plan is to bring a brand new demo to Steam, but thatll be closer to launch once we can make a more polished slice of the game. On the good news front, we have hit another milestone with our publisher and received very positive feedback on our direction and progress. For a brief explanation, last month I discussed how we previously ended up stripping Orphan Age back down to the basics. Since then weve been rebuilding it stronger, slowly implementing our planned systems and designs. With my next update Ill begin sharing a bit more of these systems. For now, Ill leave you all with some images from our latest build:



Oh, one more thing! Weve seen a bunch of questions on Steam, Discord, and Kickstarter asking a variation of will I have to re-buy the game to play it at launch? And no, absolutely not, categorically no. If you backed our Kickstarter or purchased the game during our brief post-campaign period, then you own it and will be able to play at launch. If there are any other questions, please drop them in this thread and Ill do what I can to answer them.
