Rounding Up - December Kandria Update

This is a shorter update, as this month was primarily spent on translation and bugfixing, neither of which we can really tell you much about. If you missed last month's though, please be aware that the game will release onJanuary 11th!

Various Things

The translation is going slow, as I'm doing it myself and am not used to a good workflow for that. I expect I'll get the hang of it yet though and I've already made pretty significant progress on it. Other than that, the achievement icons are done, thanks to Blob! I'm really happy with how they turned out, and it's nice to have some of his high-res art associated with the game. Finally, I took two days to develop a new webservice for key distribution, which will allow you to buy the game DRM-free directly on our website once it releases. This will also ensure that 95% of your money goes to us, rather than the 70% we get on Steam. The Soundtrack is also now fully mastered and done, and is ready to be released at the same time as the game, which is 1500 CET, January 11th. Those that backed us via Kickstarter can expect to get their keys sometime early January, though the game won't unlock until the official release date.

Roadmap

Sincelast monththings have not changed drastically, though the game is now "done" as far as the English version is concerned. Most of the remaining time until release in January will be spent on very niche bugfixes and the German translation.

Spruce up some of the sound effects and music tracks
Create achievement icons and integrate them into the game
Translate into German
Release the full game
Backport re-usable components into Trial
Separate out the assets from the main repository
Publish the source code under a permissive license
Fix a plethora of bugs and inconveniences in Alloy
Polish the editor and make it more stable
Release the editor
Develop a modding system for Trial
Finish the Forge build system at least to an extent where it's usable
Integrate the mod.io API with the modding system
Create a mod manager and browser UI
Document more parts of Trial and Kandria
Release an official modding kit

Well then until that fateful day, 11th of January, please continue to share thesteam pagewith your friends and other communities! We really need all the help we can get leading up to release. Please also look forward to a yearly roundup at the end of the month, and until then I hope you have a great holiday season!

Release

Indie RPG Adventure Singleplayer

Hack and Slash Puzzle Platformer ARPG

Kandria is a hand-crafted, 2D action game, which combines the wall-climbing verticality and precision puzzle platforming of Celeste, with the tight hack and slash swordplay of NieR:Automata, all set within an epic, post-apocalyptic RPG story and world. Questions of artificial life and android ethics abound as you thread and fight your way through hostility, and a complex web of uncertain truths.

FIGHT TO SURVIVE

Play as The Stranger, a powerful android recently unearthed from the ruins of the old world.
Perform tight, smooth hack and slash combat against rogue robots and malcontent humans - you’re faster, stronger, and can jump higher. But are you smarter?
When you think you’ve mastered things, prepare yourself for epic boss battles with beasts and machines, which slumber and lurk deep beneath the earth.

STRUGGLE WITH HUMANITY

Explore vast, open and interconnected levels full of non-linear missions, challenging platforming, and gorgeous pixel art decay - cross the barren surface, or spelunk deep underground.
Meet flawed characters and factions struggling to survive; choose who to follow, and who you’ll help or hinder as you forge your own future amongst the ruins.
Thread your way through prejudice in an epic detective quest of mystery, grit and self-determination.

INDIE HEART & SOUL, MODDING SUPPORT

Made by a tiny team headed by Shinmera, an indie developer of not only games but also art and software, who crafted the unique engine, world, art style and atmosphere.
Features thousands of frames of hand-drawn, hand-animated pixel art characters and locations, and an atmospheric, futuresynth soundtrack.
Built in Trial, a highly-moddable, custom game engine and toolset created just for this title, which lets you mod content and create your own levels.
Indie love and passion guaranteed.
