When does The Founding launch?
February 10, 2017.
What’s the purpose of the Founding?
We’d like to invite the most dedicated players of our community to help shape the base gameplay until it reaches its final form. Based on your feedback and gameplay experience, we are planning to significantly expand the game over the next 3 years; however, in order to create content that could last for thousands of gameplay hours, it needs a solid foundation. Basic gameplay elements need to be finalized (such as the combat, mission and loot system), but not without feedback. We’re hoping that with the help of the community, we’ll be able to deliver an enjoyable core experience.
What are the packages and what do they contain?
Here you can see the tiers of the Founding.
The most important thing: keep in mind that it does not contain the full, final game yet, but buying even the smallest package grants you the full game at release and all its free content updates in the future.
When will I get the extra physical and digital items?
Most of the content is being developed and manufactured during the Founding continuously, and will be made available during this phase as well. All physical extra content will be ready in approximately August 2017 and we'll be sending out to everyone who purchased the Master Inquisitor or Grandmaster Pack. Shipping will be free. The only exceptions are the signed hardcover art book and short story collection, these will be available at release. Digital extras will be available some time during the Founding.
Where can I buy the packages for the Founding?
In the Neocore Store.
(You’ll be able to buy the full game at most bigger online stores at the launch of the final base game, if you decide to wait.)
Can I post video content / streaming of the alpha build?
Sure!
How can I help the development of the game?
If you’re in the Founding and play the game, you can help us simply by telling your opinion. There will be questionnaires at every update on various features, and we’ll be very active on our forums, listening to your feedback. We’re building a new community page merging a devblog, a development update log and a forum, just for this reason.
If I want to share my opinions, where can I do that?
Most importantly, on the aforementioned community page, but we’ll be very active on various social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, Reddit) and other forums, although our community site will be prioritized.
