Everdate - Let's Play: The Dating Game

Production Update - Open Beta News
8 days ago – Wed, Oct 09, 2024 at 02:16:06 PM

Hi everyone, hope all is well!

We had initially planned on releasing the Open Beta in the early part of October, however, we've received quite a bit of feedback with a recurring theme indicating the need for a more robust tutorial. 

As we'd like the Open Beta to be as inclusive and rewarding to players as possible, we'd like to take a bit longer to include more tooltips, a scripted tutorial, and implement achievements to help new players better understand the game and have the best chance for success.

With physical reward items, we plan on shipping those closer to the release of the game, which we expect to have a timeline on soon.

More news to come soon - thanks for your continued patience and support.

about 2 months ago – Sat, Aug 24, 2024 at 11:21:28 AM

Hi everyone,

The Let's Play Volume 5 Kickstarter is nearly to $180,000 in pledges! Just a friendly reminder that if it reaches $200,000, everyone gets the FREE "Charm" pearlescent print stretch goal reward:

This reward is part of several already unlocked items, including the "Sam Tested" magnet, a set of 3 Dragon King Oath bookmarks, and the Grumblesnoot vinyl sticker!

All of these items are free in your order when you back at a physical reward tier, plus there's tons of other items we think you're really going to love, and a few more announcements still to come!

Finally, don't forget, there is a $6 credit to anyone who backed the Everdate Kickstarter - so check it out now, and thanks for any support!

Open PC Beta Coming Very Soon! Let's Play Volume 5 Kickstarter FUNDED - Special Deal For Everdate Backers
about 2 months ago – Thu, Aug 22, 2024 at 02:21:27 PM

Hi Everyone,

With the final closed beta out for a few weeks, we're gearing up to move things over to an open PC beta. We're aiming to have this launch around the first or second week of September, so stay tuned. All backers at all tiers will be able to access this; you'll just need a PC.

This beta will be similar to the final closed beta but will aim to fix some bugs and issues. Gameplay includes:

1. The complete visual novel storyline for Sam and Marshall.
2. The ability to play date rounds that will add Interest Points and progress to a new Romance Tier.
3. Once a new tier is unlocked, more of the visual novel is unlocked as well.
4. You can check your progress in the Connections tab inside the Homebase.
5. More art has been added to the cards.
6. You can also play in different locations from the Map. Each Location has its own deck, with various connection types and obstacles to overcome.

We'll do another update once this is ready to go out, so stay tuned!

Finally, we're pleased to announce that the Let's Play Volume 5 Kickstarter launched last week and was funded in 11 minutes! 🙀

This is your chance to be the first to get your hands on the reformatted print edition of Volume 5, which kicks off Season 2 and features chapters 76 through 94 of Let's Play - approximately 200+ pages of content!

What's better is that we have a special deal for you all! If you back Let's Play Volume 5 at any physical reward tier and were a backer of the Everdate Kickstarter, you will receive a $6 credit* in your post-campaign survey** that can go towards a hardcover upgrade, an add-on item, or off your overall shipping fee! So click here to back now!

*Credit is not redeemable for cash and is only applicable for one eligible Rocketship campaign backed (ex: if you backed Let's Play Volume 4 and Everdate you are only eligible for a $6 credit, not $12).

**There's nothing you'll need to do to redeem the credit, it will appear when you receive your Let's Play Volume 5 survey after that campaign ends.

A reminder about several things:

FOR PC ONLY

As mentioned in the Kickstarter campaign, these Beta rounds will only work on a PC.

A WORK IN PROGRESS

Although we're getting closer to having the game ready, EVERDATE is still a work in progress.

ENCOUNTERED A BUG? LET US KNOW! 

Like the Alpha build, we've set up a simple form (see link below) for the Beta that allows you to report any issues you might encounter during your playthrough. Whether it's a glitch, a crash, or something just not working as expected, we want to hear about it.

👉 Submit Your Bug Report Here

Submitting a Report is Easy:

1.      Click the link above to access our Bug Submission Form.

2.      Fill out the form with as much detail as possible. Screenshots and step-by-step descriptions of how the bug occurred are incredibly helpful.

3.      Hit submit, and our team will get on it as soon as possible.

NO NDA NECESSARY

Unlike the Alpha round, the closed Beta does NOT require a signed NDA to participate.

WHAT'S NEXT?

This is the last of the closed round betas, and we plan to have more updates to come, so stay tuned!
