Wayward Saga, the spinoff to Rocketcat Games’ excellent action-RPG Mage Gauntlet (Free), was originally announced more than two years ago. (It also used to be called Mage Dungeon, and then simply Wayward, before finally arriving at Wayward Saga. Just FYI.) Game development is a messy endeavor though, and additional projects as well as other outside factors have slowed down the progress on Wayward Saga. Our last real look at it was at GDC this past year, where Rocketcat’s Kepa Auwae walked us through some of the ins and outs of the game, and we thought it looked great. However, during the rest of 2013 Wayward Saga development picked up again, and most recently Rocketcat mentioned on their Facebook page that they’re shooting for a January or February release. They’ve also released some new work-in-progress footage, which you can see below.
The video description notes that Wayward Saga is finally feature-complete, and at this point they’ll just be spending a few weeks fixing bugs and making tweaks before submitting the final version. I really loved Mage Gauntlet, and can hardly believe that it’s been more than two years since its release. I have high hopes for Wayward Saga, and once some more concrete information is available regarding a release date we’ll let you know. Also be sure to check out our forums for more discussion.
I didn't want to go to sleep anyway...
Looks creepy! I hope it comes to iPad and hopefully iphone eventually!
Sleep is overrated.
Yes plz
That video... :( I didn't want to go to sleep anyway...
That was the creepiest video I've ever seen in my life. Also did absolutely nothing for me, a gamer who doesn't know what these game is. So not very informative. I just don't understand why this would be your video advertising your game. I'm sure there's a reason. Ha
Probably because this game already has a huge cult following! Noob... : )
You speak the truth!! :D
Altman be praised!
Oh wait, wrong thread...
Fingers crossed indeed!
Genius.
The iPad could use some more roguelikes.
Would love to play this on mobile!!!
I'm a big fan of pixel art but for some reason I don't like the look of this new version. The original looked clean, crisp and detailed. This one feels watered down look wise.
It reminds me of those days backs when the same game would come out on NES and SNES. The SNES version would look so much better.
Well, I'm happy about the new features though.
You talking about the graphics that look almost exactly the same?
Iphone! Or android! I don't have a bloody iPad! Screw you guys! Also where's baldurs gate for android? Hate hat.... Wait maybe I can find someone to buy my android tablet and google play account. They can have all my bought games that way and I can shift completely over to APPLE!!! Brilliant!
Count me in! And at full price I hope. Thee guys deserve gamers' support
The video makes no logic, it doesn`t look viral and i don`t really want to share it with my subscribers in any network. But actually got interested what will the game look like)
THe video makes no sense. It doesn`t look viral and actually I don`t want to share it with my subscribers in any network eventhough there is a kitten.
But actually I`d love to see what the game will look like)
WWWAAAANNNNNTTTTT. Want want want.
Someone told me that his is kinda like a SNES Zelda, Meatboy style. I stopped reading about this game, not to spoil anything. So I didn't read the above. And please leave me alone the day this hits the App Store.
However much I would love this to happen as Biding of Isaac is an amazing game the chances are very low, and not due to McMillen who said he wants the game to come to iPad.
Apple wouldn't approve a game with the religious content in such a context as BoI (the game was almost banned in Germany and now has a 16+ rating due to its "offensive" story) apple is known for not allowing serious, political or religious games onto the App Store so unless we see some magic or a change of story for this version, it's release is unlikely.
But we can always hope..!
Apple will allow this. I'm sure of it. It has too many fans for a rejection candidate.
Hopefully! If a whole country can almost ban it, and knowing apples history all I can do is hope!
DO NOT WANT
too creepy.
Is the cat real? O_O
PLEASE LET THIS GAME COME TO IPAD!! Please!!!!
Guys of course the video isn't gonna make any sense if you haven't fucking played it on PC so stfu if you don't get it to bad let the ones that know what it's about talk.
