Big News #1

We have a few big things in the works for Made Marion right now!  First of all, I've been thinking of how to make sure y'all can experience the game ASAP after the disaster that was 2022 delayed our development.  I'm considering releasing the game Early Access when the three Sherwood routes are complete, then adding each Nottingham route as it is completed.

This would mean that Robin, Will, and John will definitely be available in 2023, and as many of the others as I can finish as well. It's Geoffrey and Gui's route that is most likely to slip into 2024 because they're a whole thing that's going to take some time on my part. It'll be worth it!

If we release Early Access, all of our backers will receive their game keys at that point. Like with most (all?) Early Access titles, you'll own the entire thing as soon as you redeem your key and all updates are free. All routes will be complete when they are released Early Access, no cliffhangers. We will still hold beta tests before all Early Access releases! Your beta feedback is extremely important to me!

I'd like to gauge how popular this will be before I fully commit, so I will be running polls on Tumblr and Discord. All backers can join our Discord channel by following this link. If you don't have a Discord or Tumblr account, feel free to reply to this update on KS or itch.io and say whether you'd be interested in reading our routes Early Access or if you'd prefer to wait until all routes are out.

Big News #2

We have some even bigger news that I can't talk about until after March 1, so we will be releasing a special bulletin in the first week of March. Keep an eye out for it!

Sparkles and Sussy Droods

Look whose new sprite has joined the Sherwood gang! It's Layton Tuck!

Have you tried wandering around on your own at the Sherwood bonfire yet?  When our enhanced demo releases, I recommend it if you'd like to see more Tuck Faces(tm). Oh, hey, comparing these two screenshots is also a nice example of how our nighttime shading works. It's subtle, but I think it makes a difference.

Finally, as Meissa's full sprite has been added to the game, they have a fun little addition. When they're working their more powerful magics, they get a little taste of the stars surrounding them.
