I finally got the trailer made
I will need to make a shorter version for Steam (having trailers too long is not good there since you only have a few seconds to capture the interest of new players) but that's done.
The current plan for this game is:
- release it probably next Friday (20th April) or the one after (27th April)
- prepare the mobile version which should be out sometimes next month (May)
- prepare the Steam version which should be out early June (if all goes well)
I am still doing small tweaks right now so depends on what people find but of course I'm not going to do any major tweaks now just before the release

I like it! really ominous yet hopeful.
Looking forward to how my snek girl is received by the general public
Going to spread this around to all the discords and people I've been telling about this while it was still being worked on.

Thanks
here in forum polls she currently is 3rd love interest and 2nd most liked/interesting character, so I'd say she's doing well !

Looks awesome!
Quick question: is the game gonna have full voice-overs? I ask since it was there and if I do a playthrough I like doing voices of my own. (
NO DISRESPECT MEANT; just how I prefer doing things.)

No no, it would be impossible to have voiceovers on such a big/complex game
only the trailer has it.

Yeah it would cost WAY too much, not to mention time to make full voice over for a title like this.
Also what I imagine Jack's reaction was to even thinking of putting that kind of stress on himself

Today I consider the game "officially out"!
I can say that for sure Cursed Lands has been tested very carefully, more than all my past RPGs: of course I might still do some minor updates (I remember updating SOTW 1 year after its release) but only to fix very well hidden bugs.
Kuiper (the game's writer) did a blog post that will show up next Friday (the 27th April) talking about his experience working on the game

So when can I expect it on Steam???

Yes, exactly. It might also be before depending how things go
Now when I submit a game to Steam, they need to approve both the page (3-5 business days) and also the game build (another 3-5 business days) so there's much more delay vs before.

Game is out on Steam today:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/758320
If you bought it on itch.io you'll find the Steam keys using that site. The Steam version is censored (after last days event I didn't want to take any risks). However if you remember how it worked for Loren...

If that means an uncensored patch or something like it, great because I just grabbed it on Steam yesterday and am now just waiting on the sexy stuff patch

Someone already posted in the Steam forums how to do it, basically just delete a file from the game folder

If anyone who played the game / knows it well has an iOS 11 device let me know, need to test it but honestly I have no time right now
I only need someone to play it at least until 1st full moon and tell me if works

After 1 month since its release I must say I'm very pleased by this game results.
It beat Loren's first month of sales (though of course this means nothing, since Loren kept selling for months... those were very different times). On Steam it made twice the amount of SOTW on launch week, which is also another good thing. I'm not getting too excited though, since nowadays things are totally different and sales could drop off to almost zero anytime. It's like 50 times harder than it was back in 2012, but at least I recouped all the money/time invested on this game so at least that's something
Since many people asked, I am not planning to do any DLC/spin-off at the moment, I WILL finish PS2 and Loren2 first. Then we'll see
