- Tidewoken Playtest Date - 24 July 2024
Heyoo!! Exciting news, I have a date for the next playtest. The Tidewoken playtest will start on the 17th of August and last for about a week. During this time you can fully experience Tidewoken and all the characters, dungeons, PvP, and the "VS AI" mode. Most of the features are fully finished, but some require a bit more work (such as profiles and cosmetics). I'm excited to hear your feedback about the game. Tidewoken was always built around the feedback I received from you and most of the features in the game are a direct result of that. I'll need your help in finding issues and bugs :) If you can think of anyone who would be interested in trying out the game, please let them know as well. The dungeons are even more fun when playing with others. To receive a key, join our Discord Server. Before the playtest starts, you can receive your Steam key there. Make sure you have the "Looking…
- New features & upcoming playtest - 14 June 2024
Yo, surprise! I’m still working on Tidewoken :) My current goal is to polish the game and prepare it for a release into Early Access. As you might glimpsed, creating a fairly big game by myself takes a lot of time, but I’m here with exciting news: Tidewoken is going to be free-to-play! I always wanted to do this, but was hesitant because of the struggles to pay for the servers needed. The game was originally designed to be a PvP-only title, which meant the servers are hosted by me (to ensure no one cheats). To upgrade the servers for more players, there will be some way to support the game in the future (like a supporter edition or Patreon), but without any pay-to-win shenanigans. I also worked on several noteworthy features in the past few months, such as: 1) A fun new equipment system for your characters, with over 30 unique items: 2) The new elite difficulty in dungeons, featuring “G…
- Development News - 3 November 2022
Heyo, Xreal here! As you might have noticed, there has been a lack of updates over the past few weeks/months. Right now, I'm the only one working on Tidewoken, whenever I find the necessary time. And since I also started going to University, the amount of time greatly depends on studying as well. The consequence is that I won't be able to release Tidewoken this year. This is not only due to features & polishing missing, but also because I can't promise to develop, update and support an online/multiplayer game when I'm occupated with studying (even if I give my best!). I wish to make the game playable soon, and let players contribute to the final product. Maybe something like a Patreon, to support the development and get access to the game before it is released, with the possibility to get your own skills and perks into Tidewoken. Let me know if you think that's a good idea, or if you ca…

- Early Access, AI companions, and feature survey - 7 February 2022
Hi everyone, I gathered a lot of feedback throughout the playtest and it was super fun playing with you. In this post, I'll talk about the future of the game, a new addition, and how you can decide what gets added to the game. To receive notification about news, just follow the game on Steam (or/and wishlist it): Early Access Originally, the game was planned to release in Q1 2022 into Early Access. The game is primarily a (way too huge) hobby project rather than a funded development by a studio, so I decided to skip this early access phase and rather have regular playtests with you guys. Also, my goal is to create an awesome game, rather than to release it ASAP in an unfinished state. There could still be an early access phase at a later stage, but just to add new content and make the game even more polished. If you want to participate in future playtests, please join our Discord server…
