News on April 13, 2025
Greetings, everyone!
I’d like to share some exciting news: all the texts for the next update have been sent for voice-over! We ended up with 25,000 words — for comparison, Early Access only had 7,000. For the final version of the game, we're aiming for 50,000 words — about the same as in the first Gothic.
We don’t pad the dialogue with fluff — we aim to make every conversation engaging and meaningful. And now, you'll finally be able to dive into the main storyline, with events that carry greater significance for all of Boreya.
That said, some patience is still needed: voice recording is not a fast process. And I still have a lot of work to do — not on quests this time, but directly on locations, balance, monsters, bosses, and much more.
The remaining tasks aren't too complex, but there are a lot of them. So please — if you haven’t left a positive review yet, consider doing so on Steam. Some people lower the rating simply because they assume the project has been abandoned.
Of course, it hasn't been abandoned — it's being worked on daily, for at least 8 hours a day, and sometimes up to 15.
We’re doing everything we can to speed up the update, but I promised myself not to work at the expense of my health — otherwise, the game might not see the light of day at all.
I honestly can’t wait to see you play and read your feedback.
I’m already really happy with how the game is turning out.
The update may be delayed another 2–4 months, but it will be truly massive compared to Early Access. Nearly the entire game world and its quests will be available — except for the swamps, which will be added in the final update (but that one will come together a bit quicker).
I’ll try to show up with news more often, even if I’m not great at it :)
But please don’t judge me too harshly — I’m working hard on the game, and I really don’t like spoiling content ahead of time.
As for the voice acting, at the moment it only applies to the Russian version of the game.
We currently don’t have the budget to create English voice-over, but I really want to make it happen. I'm thinking about how to solve this and will try to secure funding, because I truly want the Western audience to experience our beautiful culture — and honestly, the RPG is turning out really well.
