Commanders!

First off, a huge thank you for your patience and ongoing support. We're super excited to let you know that our much-anticipated game, Zoria: Age of Shattering, is set to officially launch on March 7th, 2024.

Okay, so here's the situation. We're a team of three developers. We showed the demo to different gaming events, organized closed on-site playtests, listened to an external QA team and after gathering all this feedback we came to the conclusion that what we have isn't what we can hand over to you in the next month.

Zoria: Age of Shattering is an ambitious project, considering the scale of our team. We would say it's very ambitious, as we are reaching nearly 300k words in the game. An extensive story is great, but we also have a ready to-do list of things that require our work. We can certainly confirm that the game is playable and we have achieved content-lock. However, the content itself is only half the success. UX, your comfort of playing, and a great focus on eliminating as many bugs and blockers as possible is our priority at the moment. In short, we want to give you a game that we're proud of.

We believe that you understand the situation and that the additional weeks of waiting will be worth it. We have prepared 30+ hours of content for you, and the best is still waiting for the reveal!

Also, you have time to finish Baldur's Gate 3, there are no excuses in March!

Since we gathered you here, we'll put all the cards out on the table and reveal the price as well. Zoria: Age of Shattering will be available for purchase at $24.99.

Follow us on Twitter and join our Discord if you haven't already. Let's stay in touch!

Until next time,

So, what sets it apart from every other party RPG in a default engine coming out these days?

We would say it's very ambitious, as we are reaching nearly 300k words in the game.

Never a good sign when the number of words is advertised as something good. More likely that they have no good editors who can cut down the unnecessary crap.

Other than that the game looks promising enough and even the title is not completely retarded (yay!)

Those screenshots are the very definition of creative bankruptcy. It feels like such a real effort to make an uninspired and shovelware-looking game it is almost uncanny.

And that flavour text :
"You will lead a diverse team through the various lands of a Uram continent and against challenges [sic] countless groups of monsters and bosses."
"Attack from close range or distance with different attack patterns and directions,"
"Heal or shield allies with various spells and commands,"
"You cannot win the game without making progress"

What could be worse ?

"Storage: 60 GB available space"

Yeah fuck that misbegotten shit.
