Any idea when the next patch might drop?

It's coming down the pipe slowly. This is a massive update and pretty much signifies our footprint into the actual "alpha" stage of development. We've acquired a few new coders over the last few months, so the programming side of production has a ton on the way. We're just really putting a ton of work into this release, because we'll be following up with a Steam release not long after. We can't really commit to a time, but it's not too far from now. We'll be providing more information next week.

Awesome news! Thanks for the reply, IronSight. Very much looking forward to it!

Awesome, can't wait for this.

As I have stated before, imo, the donations will come pouring in after an Alpha product is released. I think folks just want that Early access feel,such an an ARK or Star Point.

hello Ironsight i was just wondering if you had a time frame or if you knew if the pet power pools will be coming out with the next patch.

Also excited for this!

Ditto that I'm really looking forward to seeing combat pets in action with the leadership trees.

Ironsight, would you please point me in the direction of the information you stated would be provided about the upcoming patch? I cannot seem to find it. Or if anyone else knows where it is for that matter. Thanks in advance for the assistance.

We're currently working out more details, but as soon as we have the patch notes and the date, we'll share that information with the community.

I thought we had to wait until phase one was completed to see leadership trees in action?

Would like to get a taste of the minion customization in alpha

This next big patch has been under development for many months while often touted as "two weeks away". Can you speak to the delays in release? One of the things that other crowd-funded operations excel at is intimate communication with their community. An example of this is Shroud of the Avatar, which provides weekly updates and frequent interaction on the forums.

My biggest concern is stagnant development, much like your other project Legends of Etherell, which died on Steam, despite scheduled pre-alpha releases.

I appreciate any insight into the process and proposed release schedule.
