When!?!?

The #1 question we are asked is WHEN is AQWorlds releasing?

In this week's daily dev update posts we will attempt to answer that question.... accurately. But you already know it will release when it is "Ready O'Clock."

Monday

I took a short break and doom scrolled through your posts on Facebook using my Artix account today. That is, if you use Facebook. A surprising number of players do. This includes players who switched there after Twitter was banned in Brazil. The one comment about Infinity that I see over and over again... is when is AdventureQuest Worlds: Infinity launching!? I am also often surprised by long-time players asking these questions... but I do not mind restating them. 

1. Will I be able to play my current AQWorlds character in the new game?
Yes. (Some stats, including level, will be tracked separately in this new game.)

2. Will I have my stuff?
Cosmetically, yes.

3. Will it be on Mobile?
It is both on Mobile and Computers.

4. Why is it taking sooooo long?
Because we chose the extremely challenging task of converting all of your stuff along with the thousands of items, monsters, maps, etc instead of just making a new game. A new game would have been easy. We took the hard path. We did it for the right reasons-- for you, our game community, and all of those who contributed to building AQWorlds weekly these past 16 years. We are legit committed to bringing AQWorlds to all devices. Sure, it has taken way longer than we ever imagined, It will be worth it when it is complete and you are playing at 60fps across your devices, with your stuff. We want you to be proud of it. Our previous tech demos are proof that it is real.  Our transparent daily update posts give you an insight into exactly what we are working on.

Which brings us to the big one....

WHEN IS AQWORLDS INFINITY RELEASING!?

The answer is simple. (And in like 128 parts.)

• Tech Demo #1 - Complete
• Tech Demo #2 - Complete
• Tech Demo #3 - Complete
• Tech Demo #4
  • When Mage Class & Floor 1 of Bludrut Keep (with Dialog Cutscenes) are ready for testing. (Ideally this week, but no promises.)
• Alpha
  • Alpha means the AQWorlds Infinity MMORPG is playable, but we are still actively working on features, tools, and core gameplay. A limited number of things will have been converted.
  • Once all four base classes are reading (and ideally 1 infinity class), combat is stable, item issues are fixed, major known bugs are all fixed, and alpha content areas: Bludrut, Dragon's Lair, and the Town Battleon are ready for testing. (Ideally at the start of November, but no promises.)
  • Requirements to be determined.
  • Planned for Steam (and side-loaded on Android devices for mobile testing) but if we forgo a Kickstarter, we will likely host the file download ourselves for the first part of Alpha.
• Beta
  • Beta means the game is stable and we are switching our focus from features & tools to building content. I go to bed each night dreaming of the moment we get to this point.
  • During Beta our goal is to re-create the entire 13 Lords of Chaos Saga (raising the level cap accordingly). If you are a fan of things like classic WoW or private servers, then you will really enjoy this unique experience.
  • Technically speaking, our games ever really leave Beta. We just keep building them forever. Releasing to all players is likely during this phase. But there is a specific trigger moment that will cause the major "live release to happen"
• Live
  • Once the main storyline (13 Lords of Chaos) is built and tested... the game will finally be ready to release for all players on all platforms with a special event! (There better be a special event O_O)
  • Weekly releases will officially continue here... attempting to sync with AQWorlds releases.

 

Now, if anyone has a time machine they can lend me for a sec... please send, and we can speed this up! :D. Hmm. Actually, could also go back in time and release in 2020. In the unlikely event that no one has a time machine, the above plan will be how we will release AdventureQuest Worlds: Infinity.

If you see anyone who is wondering when we will be releasing, please share this link with them!

Join me tomorrow for the next transparent, animated GIF filled, and hopefully more humor laced Infinity development update post.

Battle on!
