September is nearing it's end and that means it's time for another Margin Notes post. ASSIAH development has been going strong with the script being nearly completed and asset lists for each level being built out giving us a birds eye view of the scope of the project from start to finish. Some revisions are in order to help keep things manageable, but the game as a whole is progressing at pace and on schedule. What this birds eye view of ASSIAH has revealed to us is that the amount of time and money it will take to make this game a reality is more than anticipated. Part of mitigating the time and cost of development is revising the script, cuttings things that are bloating the scope, and generally keeping the scope of the game on the lower end. The other part of mitigating dev time and cost comes in the form of something new. We are happy to introduce The Way To Life.
~ THE WAY TO LIFE ~
The Way To Life is a short, but meditative experience being built in Unreal Engine 5. Leave the world behind as you enter the desert on the edge of creation, meet monks living ascetic lives in these cosmic sands, learn about their struggles, and gain wisdom along the way.
The Way To Life releases in November 2024 on Steam.
The Steam page for The Way To Life will go live soon and when it does you can expect a post on Book 27's socials about it. So go follow Book 27 on Twitter to keep up to date on that plus more ASSIAH development updates and lore.
~ PERGE AD ASTRA ~
The Way To Life will help fund the extension of development time we have for ASSIAH, so please wishlist The Way To Life on steam as soon as the Steam page goes live. Doing so will greatly help us in achieving our ultimate goal, that being to make great games for you to play.
