Mythical Mayhem News

Exciting news
MYTHICAL MAYHEM Early Access V0.3.5 will be the last major release of early access. This should be close to the full game including the campaign mode. I plan to release some videos of a campaign playthrough hopefully the campaign mechanics are straight forward but the videos should help with campaign features as well as some game tips; avoid the video if you do not like spoilers. This is close to the end of early access; their should be no big changes that happen between now and release. This is the end of the early access journey. Official launch will happen within a few days time to a few weeks time as I look to possible coordinate with a Steam deck builder event.

All the best to you and yours over the festive season.

It has been a great year of development for Mythical Mayhem. I am pleased to report the game is ahead of schedule and has grown in scope and features. I wanted to give an update on a few items in development and the future of Mythical Mayhem.


At this point the last major item for an official release is the campaign. Currently this is more than 75% done their is one chapter left to complete, one major system left to implement. This last major system is a campaign Market feature, which is going to take a bit of time to finish implementing but I believe it to be a nice and important addition.


Until now we have been able to do regular monthly updates, as we get close to the end of early access this will begin to slow. We are planning 1 more fairly large update that should launch in early December. After this unless there are critical bugs and a hot fix required their will be only 1 to 2 additional updates that come some time in 2024.


By V1 most of the card content should already be released. The major feature that be released is the campaign with 35 scenarios it should take an average playthrough very roughly 10 hours of play. Also being released will be Steam Achievements.


We are certainly ahead of schedule of before end of 2024. Unless things go off the rails I am going to say Mythical Mayhem should be able to release out of early access by mid year 2024, and we will be aiming to release before then.


Early in 2024 before the end of early access we will be raising the price of Mythical Mayhem by between 20% to 50%. This mostly reflects how much more the scope of the game has grown.


We would love to do a some DLCs with varied ranges in scope from very minor cosmetic options to larger card set releases and everything in-between. However this is all in the future and will depend on a few factors of which the number one priority is staying focused and getting the game out of Early Access to a V1 release.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a crash when clicking on Available Heroes
  
• Fixed a crash with cards having advanced regeneration
  

Enhancements

• Some minor text improvements
