Early Access Roadmap + Price

[p]Brave wishlisters, your day of glory is near![/p][p][/p][p]The team is busy slaying the dragon of "releasing a game". As a global team we are starting to merge into a single time zone, which is not good. But, we are almost done. And we're in the phase of, everything is f*$(ing awesome and it's actually motivating again. [/p][p][/p][p]I am typing this devlog with my remaining 3 brain cells, on a Sunday after the team made an intense push to finish chapter 1 of the game. I think you're all going to be pretty excited and I can't wait to see your reactions. [/p][p][/p][p]Enough beating around the bush, we're here to talk DOLLARS AND CENTS. And roadmaps.

Roadmap Notes
[p][/p][p]We are breaking up the full campaign into 3 chapters, that we will release through early access. These will be held in different biomes.[/p][p][/p][p]Each chapter builds on the previous chapter, and it is one continuous story driven campaign. We hope to add side missions as we go as well. [/p][p][/p][p]We will release an update after the EA launch, called Chapter 1a: "Too Close For Missiles". This update is aimed at being a quick response to the feedback we get right at launch. [/p]
  • [p]Comanche helicopter added[/p]
  • [p]Bug fixes and stability improvements[/p]
  • [p]Balance adjustments[/p]
  • [p]Expanded test flight area (where you can test helos outside of missions) [/p]
[p][/p][p]Afterwards, we'll work on Chapter 1B: "Close Air Support" update, where we will add side missions to the game. Following this one, we will be releasing chapters 2,3, and then ultimately the 1.0 launch. [/p][p][/p][p]Overall we want to incorporate your feedback through our development, and make this an interesting journey for you to join us on. You guys have already been an amazing community, making suggestions and giving us feedback. I want that continue in EA. It should be a fun process. [/p][p][/p]
$14.99
[p]First things first: Cleared Hot will release at the low low price of $14.99 with a 10% launch discount, bringing that to 13 big ones and change. As stated on our Steam page, we plan to increase the price as we ship new content and features. So get it now while the gettins' good. [/p][p][/p][p]We will be adding a lot, so any of our early access players will get a lot for this price. For those of you who have been begging me to "shup up and take my money", Thursday is your chance :D [/p][p][/p]
Final Days!
[p]Thanks everyone for following along here! If I wasn't so busy and stressed, I might enjoy this moment :D But instead, I'll enjoy it on Thursday. Remember that we launch this Thursday, Nov 20th, 5am PST. [/p][p][/p][p]Feels kinda crazy, I've spent the last 5 years crafting this fun experience for you all. This team came together and all contributed their unique strengths into this one game. [/p][p][/p][p]Thanks for making it possible for me to not have a real job. And to create other not-real-jobs for other people! I've enjoyed it and hope you do too. [/p][p][/p][p]Thanks,[/p][p]-Colin "cfinger" and the Cleared Hot team [/p]
