0.2.0 postpartum

What Changed:

Added Return From Downturn

Added Make Art

Added Revisit The Past

Arted items (and reenabled them)

Added abilities*

Changed victory and defeat screens

What happened:

Abilities are unfinished but usable.  Please consider them in their current state as merely a plan of what I want to do with them.  They will be accessible in Downturn next patch.  The next version will have a debug respec button and a cancel and confirm buttons.

Each of the anniversary chapters has an “art” piece with it.  Please enjoy.

Happy 2nd year anniversary!

I started working on Unyielding on New Years Eve and released the first version on the 14th two years ago.  The game has changed so much, and we aren’t done yet.  Thanks for being here for and supporting the development!

What’s next?  This roadmap is very rough.  No plan survives first contact with the enemy.  These are goals, in the order I think works best, not a promise.

1)

Character stories (Lizette, Daud, Willem)

Finish character abilities (balance and getting them in downturn)

Music push (no silence found anywhere in the game)

Polish push (hover states, transitions, bugs, code clean up)

2)

Danica’s storyline (About as long as Blackfire’s)
Character stories (Lizette, Daud, Willem)

3)

Adventure number 2

Character stories (Lizette, Daud, Willem)

Main storyline

4)

Steam early access (See notes below before you panic)

Character stories (Lizette, Daud, Willem)

5)

Adventure number 3

Conclusion of main storyline

6)

Game wrap up.

Full release

Downturn took about 6 months to do, so we are looking at about another 18 months.  That seems like such a long time, but also seems so short when I think about all the work I want to get done!

I’ve debated a lot about a steam release of Unyielding.  I need to try to recoup some of the money I’ve spent on the game (and fund another?!), so that seems like the best way forward.  The idea is the steam version will be cheap ($2-$5), but won’t have the explicit content.  The explicit content will be another $5 as DLC.  It will also only get a monthly update barring any showstopper bugs.  Patreon will remain unchanged, but all patrons would get a steam key.

Unyielding has seen amazing growth in the past year.  I’m really happy in the direction it’s gone.  From rough tech demo to starting to look like a real product.  My motivation is at an all time high, and I can’t wait to keep going with this.  Any success I’ve managed to achieve is largely possible due to 5-ish and TwigglyBits, who have greatly increased the quality of the product.

With that said, thank you so much for being here.  Every comment and bug report makes the game better.
