I said come in! posted:

This looks really cool! How close are you guys to being completed and releasing version 1.0 / retail? I am all in when that happens.

We still have a good ways to go, but this is a really big milestone for us.

We promised the community last year that we wanted to get people in the game by the end of the year. While we were able to start a Friends and Family test by then, our true goal was to hold one of these Public Tests as well. There were many reasons for this, the main ones were:

- To let the community come try it, because we promised it
- To show the community that there is indeed a playable game
- To see how the server and client perform during a load test

After this Public Test, and our Friends and Family testing wraps up not long after, we're going to be going a lot harder on content development. When we started it was only 3 of us working on the core development for about a year. Now the team size is up to 16. We have people and pipelines in place to facilitate content creation. We're also in the midst of a big character art revamp, because we recently added a 3D Character Artist with Senior experience in the Game Industry, having previously worked on several MMOs and other big titles.

We're in the planning stages for this next stage of development, but what I can say is that we plan on working on two brand new dungeons, while heavily revamping/outright replacing one of our outdoor zones. We're also planning some revamps to a couple other of our other less developed zones. We're likely going to start targeting 3 month milestones for our work.

If everything goes well with that milestone, we will probably be starting on a new biome outside of our desert region for the milestone after that.

I'm really excited to see what we can do when we put this test behind us.
