Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen’s first newsletter is up, and in it Brad McQuaid has given an update on the team, its finances, and its progress. The really good news for Pantheon fans is that there’s an early playable build of the game already.
“We also finished a major development milestone last month and have a playable version of the game at its core,” McQuaid posted. “You can create a character, choose from up to five classes, and play in one of five zones from levels 1 to 10.”
The build is significant, McQuaid says, because his team can use it to show the game off to potential investors. Next up on the docket are the rest of the classes along with more features, zones, and functionality. He also promised that there will be monthly newsletters going forward and frequent website updates.
One such website update is a look into Pantheon’s living codex. This in-game book will facilitate players in their quest to acquire and tweak abilities. “Once scribed, players will be able to memorize a total of 10 abilities, mixing both essential and transcendent abilities as desired,” the team posted.
