\"crosscode-schedule-2017\"
\nWoah, has it really been 2 years already? Indeed: CrossCode started Early Access back in May 2015. To celebrate the occasion we have a Daily Deal<\/b> today on Steam!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now before some of you might be tempted to take the offer we thought it would be fair to talk about the ever-so-important question:
\nWhen is CrossCode finally finished?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Back in 2016 we posted our release schedule<\/a> and at that time, we estimated the final release for June-September 2017<\/b>. We’re now very close at this date and unfortunately see that there is still too much left to do<\/b>. Yes, most major locations and dungeons have been finished and you can already gather all 4 elements. The only major thing that is now missing is the story<\/b>. And story is difficult. It’s important to us that the plot will leave enough space for character development, will be able to surprise you and most important of all: will have a satisfying conclusion. All of this unfortunately takes time, more than we estimated.<\/p>\n

The only way we could release on time would be by cutting content<\/b>, making the game shorter than intended. This will of course leave the final product lacking and we really want to avoid this.<\/p>\n

The good news is: financially we can afford to develop the game until it reaches the intended conclusion<\/b>. That of course means we have to postpone the release. We fully understand that some of you might be angry about that. But we also believe that, in the end, nobody wins when we release an incomplete game on time. We owe it to you to give this game a satisfying conclusion and we believe this is what most of you want us to do as well.<\/p>\n

With all that being said, we now target a release of CrossCode in Early 2018<\/strong>. Yes, this is big step, but this should give us enough time to finish the story and make sure it reaches a satisfying conclusion. It will hopefully be the last time we have to postpone the release to such an extend.<\/p>\n

Since it will be another half a year, we plan to add a few more releases in-between with more content to play.<\/p>\n

New Release Schedule<\/h3>\n

\"release-schedule\"<\/p>\n

CrossCode 0.9.5<\/b>
\nRelease Date: June 2017<\/b><\/p>\n

This update will finally<\/b> extend the story! By quite a bit as well. It will slightly expand locations around Maroon Valley, Rookie Harbor and Autumn’s Fall, include several smaller boss battles and plenty of interesting plot developments. It may also be leaving you wanting more story, so be warned.<\/p>\n
