Remember the old story from The Onion about Starbucks beginning a sinister “phase two?” That’s not at all what’s happening with Stage Two of Saga of Lucimia development, but you could be forgiven for drawing the comparison simply because, well, “Stage Two.” Also, because it marks a move away from the development being as open and transparentas possible, since this also marks the moment when the game stops being about making basic systems and ideas and starts being about producing actual content.
The net result is that the game is getting proper investment funding now and is focusing on making the game into a reality, which also coincides with shuttering the game’s pre-order store as of March 31st. That will lock in the current early access playerbase for alpha testing as the game moves into more core content and game mechanics. If you’d like a deeper look at what the developers have been up to, take the time to dive into the full announcement; it’s going to make things a bit more quiet, but also hopefully more productive in the long run.
