Netherguild News

Hello Guild Leaders,

Thank you all for your support!
I'm seriously humbled by your kindness... I'm so glad to a lot of you have enjoyed Netherguild in it's current early access release form :D
It makes me even more excited for things to come, too!



First week (this week):
I plan on doing bugfixes to essential issues that players might encounter - also spreading the word about release, and if I find the time, chilling out after all the release preparations... I'm exhausted! (:

Oh yeah, some things that bugged players on launch were fixed - like the gate in the mist tower camp that required return to the overworld. Now you can access the new areas directly through it too -
You can see the full patch notes here:

Again, I'm dedicated to fixing other bugs throughout this week and overall through early access. Let me know in the Discord or bug sub-forum on Steam if you encounter anything!

Upcoming weeks:
Afterwards, I plan on adding new content / improving the existing content - especially in the city of mist. This means more enemies and more items - I plan on adding a handful of new skills to the existing classes too, as well as important quality of life additions.

Afterwards...
Over time I want to begin work on additional new areas and some of the major systems of the game! stay tuned for more news about that in the future.



In the meantime, if you want an overview of everything that's coming to the full release, I made a forum post about it recently!

If you enjoyed Netherguild so far, please leave a review! reviews are so important for a solo developed indie game like mine with no publisher.

Really, reviews and word of mouth are the main ways that Netherguild can pop on Steam to other players - so if you have 5 minutes to write one or tell a friend who'd be interested about the game, I'd truly appreciate it.

Thank you again, and looking forward to seeing you in future updates! (:

Additions:

• Can descend below directly from mist city camp to the new areas (Bandit Stronghold, The City Of Mist).
  Areas were still accessible before, but many players missed that you can pick them from the overworld so this should help clarify things :D

• Fixed crossbow boots crash
  
• Fixed crash from enemies being added to combat
  
• Fixed can't select buildings in mist tower camp when pressing escape after selecting characters to return (community find by Bram & Another Persona

IT'S OUT NOW!

I mentioned this in a previous post but... I still can't believe Netherguild is a real game you can buy on Steam now! It feels like just yesterday I was prototyping turn based mechanics before it really took shape and became the incredible, complex game it is today.

Early access is going to be a long and bumpy road filled with adventures, discovery and challenges - so I hope you're as excited as I am for this big new chapter in Netherguild's development towards full release and beyond! :D

Oh yeah, if you enjoyed Netherguild, please post a review on the Steam page!
Reviews are crucial for more players being able to discover the game on Steam, especially since this is a hand-crafted, solo developed game without any fancy marketing - I need as much of your help as I can get!

Stay tuned for an announcement tomorrow with some of my near future plans too.

Cheers!
-David

...Can you believe it?

I started working on Netherguild back in 2018 when it looked like this:



Since then, I've poured blood, sweat and tears (both literal and figurative) into it these last 5 years -

-and it'll finally launch in Early Access next week!



But really, it couldn't have done it without your support. Thank you for playing the public demo over these last few years - Netherguild wouldn't have been half as good as it is today without your feedback.



Obviously it's not the end of the road but just another step towards finishing Netherguild - with that being said, I'm really excited for everything I plan to add during early access - from the new areas and classes to the story and faction system.



I hope you're just as excited as I am! It'll be a long road full of trials and challenges, but it also contains many rewards for the brave of heart. I don't know if there's anything more symbolically fitting for this game!

Oh - and if you want to be notified when Early Access release happens on the 27th of March, you can wishlist the game on Steam to get an email on release.
