Hey everybody! We've been working hard on getting the game ready and we want to share our future plans and what you can expect from Across the Obelisk in the next coming weeks. You will be able to play AtO during the next Steam Game Festival which will take place from 3 to 9 February, BUT we plan to launch our public demo before that. We are still working on some features and we can't say for sure "when" it will happen, but it's something we want to do as soon as possible. v0.6 Early Access On the other hand, the release date is not set but our intentions are to release the game, in Early Access, at the end of February or beginning of March, we will soon have a specific date. After the launch, we will spend time collecting information and/or trying to fix any errors that may appear. Your opinion is very important to us, so we will listen carefully to what you have to say about the game. Balancing a game like this can be a little difficult, what is easy for some may be difficult for others, but we will try to offer you a fair experience where everyone can have fun and enjoy our work. v0.65 Obelisk Challenge Across the Obelisk is mainly a RPG Adventure. There are random events, procedural paths, etc. but it is a history that evolves during 4 acts. There's a big replayablity component, different paths, events and unlockable content will give you hours and hours of gameplay. The Obelisk Challenge is a different mode. More random, shorter, competitive through ladders and of course, playable in multiplayer like the rest of the game. You will draft your to form an initial deck and instead of the history map you will be placed in a 100% random map with random events, encounters, quests... etc. We will reveal more about this mode in the next weeks.
(Here you can see our Act II map) v0.7 Act III Act III of the game will come a bit later and will close the main part of the adventure together with the final boss of the game. Our plan is to include an Act IV to further round out the player's experience, but that will depend on how the Early Access goes. In addition to Act III we also want to add new characters, maps and lots of new features during Early Access. v0.75 New game "plus" mode One of those features is the New Game +, Across the Obelisk is not an easy game but once you know the different cards and what to expect when facing a monster (or even a boss) things are a bit easier. We are working on an option that will bring you a harder experience. v0.8 & Beyond We have the idea that there will be a total of 16 unlockable characters for the release. 10 of them are part of the Early Access and the other 6 will come in small updates. Besides the characters there are also several theme areas that we would like to add and many more features... but we will talk about that later.
