Latest Updates from Our Project:
Open Development Week #3: Controller Support + Endgame Discussion
over 8 years ago
– Sat, Nov 25, 2017 at 12:23:31 PM
Hey Hunters,
As expected, the last couple of weeks of development have been... a bit boring. Cleaning up and maintenance are super important, though, and make up a much bigger part of game development than many people imagine!
Good news: the game is now much more stable, and we have a lot of confidence that we can move forward without any major hiccups. We have begun work on actual new features, and first in line are Input-related stuff.
Keys can now be completely remapped, with up to 2 keys for each command. We are also working on controller support, and the game is currently playable with gamepads.
"Playable" is not the same thing as "done", of course. There is a lot of polish and care that goes into making the controls feel good when you play. For mouse & keyboard we think we nailed it - your feedback gave us that confidence! We will need your feedback again for the controller support.
We still have to figure out things like the behavior of the camera, the laser sight, how much aim assist / auto-aim to use, etc.
Our current goal is to have a new version of the Demo this weekend with rudimentary controls and start a back-and-forth discussion with our Alpha tier backers about how it feels.
You can check our progress in real-time at our public Trello board:
Alpha Keys Giveaway on the Sunday Stream (November 26th)
Not an Alpha Hunter? You might want to tune in tomorrow on Twitch, as Mark will not only talk about the game and answer questions from chat, but he will also be giving away 4 Alpha keys for immediate access to the Demo on Steam. If you are interested in playing, don't miss it!
Tip: there will be a Relic Hunters-related riddle to be solved! The first letter of the answer to the riddle will be used to complete the key, so make sure your Relic Hunters knowledge is sharp. There will be four riddles, one for each key, with increasing difficulty!
Let's talk about Endgame?
Since the last weeks have been kind of slow, why don't we spice them up a bit? I've been working on some high-concepts for Endgame systems and activities in Relic Hunters to make sure you will have plenty to do after you're done with the story!
Every great RPG needs customizable and deep progression systems to keep you enthralled with goals and pet projects of your own! I've outline an idea for one such system called "The Item World", and you can check it out at this link.
Disclaimer: these ideas are CONCEPT ONLY! They are for open discussion and will not be implementented as-is, or at all. We are not revealing or promising a new game feature, just a possible one. We are very interested in hearing what you think, so we are sharing the concept before any actual work has been put into it.
Join our Community on Discord!
Speaking of talking to you Hunters, I highly recommend you join our Discord server if you haven't already. It is always active and a lot of fun, and me and the dev team hang around there quite often. We have even been playing games together (there's a Warframe clan now, oh my).
Open Development Week #1: Welcome :)
over 8 years ago
– Sat, Nov 11, 2017 at 11:05:34 PM
Hey Hunters,
This is our first week of work post-Kickstarter, and I have to say - it feels really good to work on the game knowing that we have a passionate and engaged community with us. Thank you!
I will do my best to write updates like this every week, highlighting what has happened in development. However, if you want to follow us and provide your feedback in real-time, please join us on Discord:
Week #1: It's Boring Maintenance Time!
I warned you it would be boring, didn't I? Well, it was. Our first week was mostly dedicated to cleaning up messy leftover code from the Alpha demo, and preparing our project for future things.
The future things are exciting, though! We have planned for our GDC build in March, and it's pretty rad. You can check that out and follow our progress in real-time by visiting our public Trello board:
On the Art side, Betu has been studying new animation techniques to support some of the cool things we want to do with the game - like emotes, complex customization, etc. Here's his result on the first week:
Look at this eye-less and arm-less Jimmy move! Not creepy at all!
Still a bit rough, but it's a good sign for things to come!
Hey, I'm an Alpha tier backer (or higher), where's my key?
All Alpha keys were sent last Sunday! If you didn't get yours, please check your Promo or Spam folders - still no key? Contact us as soon as possible by messaging David here on Kickstarter.
We will soon move these to a Founders program on our website.
PayPal and Nuuvem links on the Campaign page are also still active - get them before they're gone! :)
When are the Rewards going to be shipped?
We're sending out a few preliminary questions to get organized on our end, but the official surveys will be through BackerKit, and they will be sent out Q1 2018, with physical rewards likely being sent out early Q2 2018 !
Don't forget to join us on our Livestream tomorrow on Twitch!

Hey Hunters,
Wanna check out what we're working on? In real-time? We just made our Trello board public - it is a page where you can check out which features are coming next to the game, and which are being worked on right now!
If you are a backer, you can give us feedback in real-time through Discord at the #founders-channel
This is the beggining of a long journey! Thank you for coming along <3
Cheers,
~Mark
Shout out to FISH! on indieGoGo
Before I go, I wanted to talk about a friend's project that is really cool and could use some more support. FISH is a fish-person shooter (pun intended) that blends old-school Doom-style gameplay with some modern sensibilities, great sense of humor and a grappling hook!
It's live on IndieGogo right now. I recommend you download the free Demo, and if you like it, consider supporting the game - these guys are really worth it!
It's over - THANK YOU!

We did it, Hunters. We really did it.
The campaign is over, and we even got a Stretch Goal in!
During these 31 days we revealed a lot about the game, we welcomed new fans to our community, we reunited with old friends from the Zero and Chroma Squad communities, we laughed, we cried, we had a lot of fun!
Thank you.
What's next?
First things first: all backers from the Alpha Hunter tier and upwards will receive their Steam keys RIGHT NOW. It's a small and simple demo, but we can play it together on multiplayer and it's already fun!
Today at 1PM PDT!
Come join us in our Twitch party! We'll be streaming live at www.twitch.tv/playrelichunters starting at 1PM PDT today. I'll try to play a little bit with all Alpha backers who are online at the time, just join the stream and we'll play together.
Our servers can still handle a few more people, so we'll also be giving away some extra keys on the stream - if you didn't secure yours, come join us for another shot at it!
Participate in Development
All of you Kickstarter backers are now our Founders - we want to make this game alongside you. Our main channel of communication will be Discord. If you haven't joined our Discord community yet, I highly recommend you do so!
We plan to open a public Trello board like we did with Relic Hunters Zero, where you will be able to see in real-time what the team is working on and what is planned next. When available, we will post the links up on social media and Discord.
What about Beta?
We don't have a fixed date yet, sorry! Of course we want it to be as soon as possible, but game development is full of surprises.
Our next milestone is a proper Alpha build (non-demo) in time for the Game Developers Conference next year in San Francisco (March/2018). Depending on how well we achieve that, we'll be able to let you know when the Beta will land!
I'm late! Can I still join in?
Sure! We will setup a "Slacker Backer" program on our website soon. Sign up to our Newsletter and/or follow us on social media to know when it's up!

Hello Hunters!
The final day of our campaign has finally arrived! In less than 24 hours, this chapter in our journey ends, and another one will begin.
For the last month, we have been hard at work to try to show all of you what we have planned for Relic Hunters Legend. It was a pleasure to meet and interact with all of you, and we've been floored by the amount of love and support we've gotten in that time. Our community continues to grow larger each day, with new Hunters joining the fray, and we're here to tell you that this is only the beginning.

Mark and the other devs will also play with you, and we'll livestream this party from our Twitch channel starting at 1 PM PDT: www.twitch.tv/playrelichunters !
Hurry, there's less than 24 hours left to pledge to the Alpha Hunter Tier! Remember, slacker backers won't get bonuses!
Thank you all again, as we couldn't have done it with out all of you. We are ready to get back to devoting our energies full time into making Relic Hunters Legend, and we will continue to update you on our progress, as we encourage all of you to let us know your feedback at anytime. It is vital for us to ensure that we listen to our community, as we want to make the best possible experience for all of you when the game is released.
Embark on a daring adventure in: The Untold Legacy! With its Zelda-inspired action adventure gameplay, a strong focus on its story and the way the player grows and adapts to becoming a hero, and a hero that starts off never having even held a sword before - it’s a tale to rival all others!
Dive into a realistic fantasy with open world exploring, culinary practice, and a land riddled with mystery! We think it looks absolutely radical! They have just started their campaign, so let’s give em a boost to send The Untold Legacy on its way to success!
