Cpvr Posted September 10, 2024 Posted September 10, 2024 Indie game developer Bad Ridge Games and publisher V Publishing confirmed today that Mirthwood's release has been pushed back. They team released a couple of quotes, which we have for you here, letting fans know the game has been pushed to November 6, 2024, to give the team a little extra time to work on the game. "We want Mirthwood to be the best it can be on day one," said Daron Otis at Bad Ridge Games. "As a small, passionate team, we've worked tirelessly to create a world that players will love, but we felt there were still key areas, like performance optimization, localization, and some of the systems, that need to be fleshed out and more attention before launch." "Releasing a game that isn't 100% ready isn't something we want to do," said Michael Brown, CEO of V Publishing. "We're committed to ensuring that when Mirthwood reaches players' hands, it's as polished as possible. The fans of the game are the most important thing, and making them happy is more of a priority than hitting a date, no matter what." source: Bleedingcool
Lens Posted September 11, 2024 Posted September 11, 2024 This is so disappointing but it's very understandable. It's better to make sure that everything works fine than have a rushed. It’s good to fix the performance issues first before the release.
Button Posted September 11, 2024 Posted September 11, 2024 I want to see the developers prioritize quality as to meeting the deadline. However, also hope that the delay doesn't impact the game's marketing momentum.
