Red Hook Studios released a new website update today for Darkest Dungeon. They talk about the current state of the game, and the developers future plans.
More information.Hello Everyone!
The past month has been incredible. We have been absolutely blown away by the support that Darkest Dungeon has received. On behalf of the team I want to thank you for making the game a success. We have been watching Twitch, YouTube, reading forums (our own & Steam’s) constantly since launch, sharing in your feedback, debates, rage and victories.
We set out to make a game that challenged some of the established RPG conventions, and were hopeful that players would ‘get it’, and you have! We are deeply humbled and grateful for your support and will work tirelessly to provide you all with an exceptional Early Access experience. Bugs will be squashed, balanced will be toyed with, content will be added, your heroes will die.
Where are we at?
Shipping the game, supporting the launch, attending GDC and SXSW have been our focus since releasing the game on Feb 3. We even managed a few days off here and there (Saturday and Sunday, most notably!) to rest and recharge after the gruelling hours of December and January. We’ve been as aggressive as possible tracking down crash bugs, providing technical and backer support, and generally trying to make ourselves as reachable and responsive as possible.
Now that the initial flood has subsided, we will be shifting our focus to making forward progress on the remaining content and features, driving toward our 1.0 release. We’re excited to get started!
