Hi Fellows!

It’s been just a little over a month since our Public Playtest (demo) for Steam Next Fest – which ICYMI went extremely well to say the least (see the infographic below) – but we wanted to take a moment to share a Developer Update video that addresses your playtest feedback, how we plan to improve Fellowship based on the feedback and what’s next for the game as we get it ready for Early Access launch. Be sure to check out the video as it has a few things we’ve been working on lately based on your feedback!

We’ll be spending the next few months focused on developing Fellowship, but don’t worry, we won’t be silently working. We will still be giving you all updates as we continue development. Updates will include sharing news (yes, that includes news of the Early Access release date – we’ll have news on that when we’re ready!), videos/trailers, dev team blogs, and last but certainly not least giving you all a chance to take a look on what we’re working on along the way.

Aside from giving wider updates, we also have our Fellowship Community Council, our new community program where we’ve hand-picked and will continue to hand-pick a group of players – from competitive players to players that are new to this type of game, and give these players the chance to connect directly with us! For the program, folks that are in it can get exclusive access to in-development builds of Fellowship (under NDA, of course) and give us feedback in real-time to shape the future of our game. If you’re interested in joining the council, send Hamish, our Community Director, a DM via Discord, share with him why you’d be a good fit, and he’ll make sure to add you to the list for consideration to join the council.

That’s it for today’s dev update, but we’re thrilled to continue development on Fellowship after all the incredible feedback we got from you all from the Public Playtest! We can’t wait to share more updates as we work on getting Fellowship ready for Early Access launch later this year.

Cheers,

Chief Rebel Team

Hi everyone!

We’d like to take a moment to share some incredible, positive feedback from you all on what YOU loved about the demo (Public Playtest)! The playtest was something we’ve worked on for a long time and it’s just amazing to see that all that work has paid off after all the glowing praise we received. Needless to say, we were blown away by the praise – from seeing that Fellowship was the 5th most-played Steam Next Fest demo to getting a 92% very positive rating for the Steam demo and then just reading all of your positive feedback each day of the playtest... the playtest was a major, uplifting moment for us. We’re incredibly thankful for having such a spectacular, positive and fun community – it inspires us to continue to keep doing what we’re doing: making our dream game for you all!

• "The sheer amount of information you can convey without solely relying on vocal communication is amazing, markers, routing, interrupt timers, it feels nice and doesn't feel overloading." - @Cryokhai92
  
• "Fun and fast gameplay, quick to get into the action and unlock new abilities. Would love to see a more in depth itemization system instead of just higher ilvl=better, also interested to see if different weapons (when added) could impact stuff like Tariq's swing timer. Overall A+" - @banishedPickles
  
• "Meiko’s combo system was really well done. Favorite tank of the two for sure." - @Tro0123
  
• "The dungeon %s and routes felt great as a tank (I only played Meiko the entire test because of how fun she was). I really enjoyed being able to see your party's interrupt cooldown over the mobs nameplate, as well as boss timers without having to use addons. Can't wait for more!" - @Siegewarcraft_
  
• "A refreshing take on every role! Every character filled a specific power fantasy and extremely varied gameplay, it's so wonderful to see only 6 different characters but every single one catering to a different feeling of playing the game."- @MastodonFG
  
• "It was very cool how easy we found other People to Play and Team up with. Playstyle of Sylvie was very fun and had good room for growth. Armor also looked very pretty" - @Celialuena
  

Now of course, we know that there are things we can improve and evolve with Fellowship – that's why we wanted to have the playtest to hear from you directly on what the future of Fellowship could look like. So, in case you missed it, join our Community Director TODAY at 2pm PT on Fellowship’s Discord for our first Fellows Assembly via a special Discord event: https://discord.com/events/1254866410258038845/1348776973719306371 For this event, we'd love to hear from you about your best and not-so-best experiences from our recent playtest! We’d like to listen to your feedback directly and will be taking notes that we’ll share with the full Chief Rebel team.

Much love,
Chief Rebel

Hi Fellows!

Now that we’ve reached the end of our first Public Playtest for Fellowship, we wanted to take a moment to stop and thank everyone that tried out our pride and joy.

We’ve known for a long time that we’ve got something very special here with Fellowship but for the first time, we were able to see exactly how players truly feel about our game. The truth? We’re blown away by the response.

It’s been incredible watching players at the bleeding edge push Fellowship to the absolute limit but we’ve also been buoyed by the smaller stories; players reaching out because they’d tried our game on a whim having never experienced this kind of gameplay before and absolutely falling in love. We’ve had emails from people wanting to make plushies, incredible fan art for proposed heroes, actual theorycrafting sims and so much more. You’d be forgiven for thinking this test had been running for months but all of these incredible things have happened in the space of only ten days. We couldn’t have dreamed of a better response and the team are hyped beyond belief to show you what comes next.

Because this test went so well, it’s easy to forget that this was just a dress rehearsal. The reality is that we’re only at the start of what we believe to be a long and exciting road for Fellowship. You don’t even need to take our word for it, we’ve heard you and we know that the feeling is mutual.

With that, we have one last thing to ask you: don’t go anywhere. Stay tuned to all of our channels as we bring you news of what’s coming next and all of the important things we’ve learnt from you during this test. Now it’s time for our team at Chief Rebel and Arc Games to fix our sleep schedules which you’ve ruined from all the sleepless nights watching you play and talk about Fellowship! We’re not mad about it and we can’t wait to do it all over again.

Much love,
Chief Rebel
