No release date yet, but I can say we're in the finishing stages of development and the expansion is currently being alpha tested.

Very sad ((( I was really hoping to play in DLC at new year holidays...
If it's not a secret, will there be a beta test after the alpha test? Usually alpha is a very early version of the product.

The testing will be continuous until we release and it will remain invite-only, though we may expand the current roster of testers at some point. Alpha just means that we are not feature complete yet, the game development is nearing the end.

To distinguish that in English, T is put before 'CH' to force 'CH' as in 'chart.'

That is, indeed, how it is pronounced.

This idea (OP) has potential.

Nice, maybe I'll post more drafts of refurbished weapon stats.

I can think of those myself. I just like the idea of upgrading the uniques.

Not much you can do about that except the old/new trick, balance the difficulties differently so that Normal is very easy, and there's more difficulties after Normal or they're tougher.

It might not be tasteful, but I'm afraid this might be necessary in the future, especially considering that the game's "normal" is not really geared towards an average player, not even an average RPG player of today who has a couple of modern RPGs under his belt. So, yeah, while I do somewhat enjoy seeing players get dominated by my NPCs, it is necessary, financially, for the game to be playable by more than just the hardcore gamers.

First round of invites has gone out. More invites might follow at some point, depending on how the testing progresses.

No worries.

I will leave an honest review of the game. Needless to say it will be thumbs up, but considering the current gaming fashion, I just don't think it's a game for everybody... and I think it's fair of me to leave a fair warning. What do you think?

Write your honest opinion, of course. I'm just assuming that, like me, there are other people here who don't typically write reviews at all, even for the games they like.

But I wouldn't get too worked up if I were you, because a decent amount of the game's popularity comes from friends telling friends, far as I can tell.

There's that, but there's also Steam visibility/perception and I think (according to the sales) that when people see that orange "Mixed" rating, it's a big turn-off.

Anyway, thanks for the help guys, we're back in the blue.

Recently we've been having a bit of trouble with Steam reviews from people with... um, questionable gaming abilities and we took a hit to our "recent" score. This usually happens after big sales which attract... um, a more diverse crowd, but this time it's particularly bad. So if any of you guys owns the game on Steam and enjoys it, we would greatly appreciate a positive feedback to bump up the score to its rightful place. Don't get overzealous and do something against the Steam TOS, though. Thanks.

Some of us are, indeed, fans of Lovecraft and we do draw inspiration from his stories and use his language, so to speak, when brainstorming or further developing ideas and concepts for the game.

The one with the bag should be our default portrait.
