Interesting things happening this week!
ArtCraft Entertainment partners with Indiegogo.com!
Our first (and most unexpected!) bit of news comes compliments of leading crowdfunding site, Indiegogo.com. Last month, we were invited to be one of only a handful of launch titles on the new Title III Equity crowdfunding site at equity.indiegogo.com.
What is equity crowdfunding, you ask? Great question!
Equity Crowdfunding allows normal people (like you!) to invest in a start-up company (like ours!)
Have you ever wanted to be part-owner of an independent game studio? Do you believe in the potential of Crowfall, and want to be more than just a backer?
Well, this is your chance! For more information about this opportunity, go to https://equity.indiegogo.com/offerings/artcraft-entertainment/ and find out more!*
* note: for legal reasons, we are not allowed to answer question or otherwise comment on the details of this raise over social media or our own forums. Please ask and questions ON THE PAGE LINKED ABOVE and we will be happy to answer. Thanks!
Turkey Week Testing!
Our test schedule has been updated to include our longest test to date! The game servers will be running for the entirety of the Thanksgiving holiday – starting tomorrow (Wednesday, Nov. 23rd) at 1 pm CST and running through the weekend (Sunday, Nov. 27th) at 10 pm CST.
This test is open to all players with the Pre-Alpha 1 & 2 + Alpha 1, 2 and 3 test group pledge rewards.
This is our first testing of a Large World (made up of seamless parcels) with full character persistence!
Major areas of focus for this test include: harvesting & crafting, combat (with our new and improved movement and character controller). This test, which we describe as “a bit of a bloodbath”, has already seen the emergence of several roving-bands-of-thugs – a playstyle that many of you will recognize from games like Ultima Online and Shadowbane.
This test will, in many ways, reflect the kind of bloodbath that you should expect to see in a “Dregs” campaign after launch. As a word of warning: yes, we know this particular ruleset is hardcore, and will not appeal to all of our players. We’ll try out some different variants soon (like Three-Faction) – we promise!
We appreciate all the great bug reports we’ve been getting from players! We also appreciate any video captures (and timecodes) that make it easy for us to focus in on the problems and issues more quickly.
Thanksgiving
Lastly, we want to take a moment – as always – to say THANK YOU to all of you: our fans, our backers and (now!) our investors. Our Thanksgiving holiday here in the USA is a time for reflection and, obviously, for giving thanks. We could not be more thankful for the opportunity to make this game, and that opportunity that would not be possible without all of YOU!
Thank you, and as always – we will see you in game!
