What are the plans?

Post by hydroxy »

I've been watching the Youtube videos for about 2 years now, great series btw...

I've just got a few questions:

-When you say you are developing a toolkit, does that mean that you are going to use it to make a game or is it being made for other peoples' projects?

-If you do make a game do you hope to monetise it?

-If you are monetising it, what method are you going to employ? By selling it on your website, on Steam, on Desura, via crowdfunding (e.g. Kickstarter), or perhaps something else entirely?

I hope these questions are not too blunt, I'm just curious after watching the videos...

Thanks in advance

The ESTk will be used to create the game Elysian Shadows. Furthering the toolkit to be a more robust and general tile-based toolkit for use outside of Elysian Shadows is pending. I wouldn't expect any news about that until the game itself is created.

Falco is the man for that question. But as always, money is not the focus here. We are FOCUSED, DEDICATED, and DETERMINED to make Elysian Shadows first.

Ok that's good to know

I was wondering what happened to the earlier game in development, it was called something like Elysian Shadows Revolutions. Did it get finished? Is it the same game that is currently being developed?

Thanks for the prompt reply by the way

It is the same game. It was a 'revolution' because so much in the engine was replaced.
