Unsung Story - August Update

Little Orbit has been working on Unsung Story for two years now, which makes it a very long time for this game to get released (for all kinds of reasons). In their August update they now mention that the game will be released on a chapter basis.

Releasing Chapter 1 to the Backers

Based on our progress, I feel like the project as a whole could benefit from a chapter by chapter release on PC. 

In order to do this, we have broken up the job tree so that we can release seven jobs with Chapter 1, seven more jobs with Chapter 2, etc. You can see the job tree from my June update here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/littleorbit/unsung-story-tale-of-the-guardians/posts/2524318

The jobs for the Chapter 1 release will be: Mercenary, Physician, Archer, Guardian, Elementalist, Sage, and Sharpshooter. This covers all the first and second tier jobs in the tree.

The races for the Chapter 1 release will be: Horned and Humans. We will hold back the male and female Singed race for the Chapter 3 release.

I don't yet have a release date for Chapter 1, but I want to do this for a number of reasons:

• The first and most obvious reason is that I believe there is a large portion of the community that would love to get their hands on something sooner than later. This project has a long controversial history. I want to get the backers something to play so they can finally see the results of their Kickstarter funding.
• The second reason is that in a project this larger, the sooner we start beta testing and getting feedback the better. 
• And lastly, this approach will allow us to eventually release the final more polished Chapter 1 through Early Access to start building up steam (excuse the pun) with reviewers and new fans for the full release next year.

More details to come.
