Ch7 Development Updates

Development for Ch7 is now entering Alpha testing phase. Last mile guys!

Ch7 Development Update

We have completed the development of main story, LI story arcs and currently 80% into the integration testing for the new areas and story arcs. The key challenge and complexity for Ch7 is to check the same events from different perspectives (depending on who you have brought along). We are left with the side events and several outstanding CGs before alpha testing can commence. Thanks for the support and patience everyone!

C7 Development Update

Writing for Ch7 love interest arcs are completed. We are now testing and reviewing their story arcs for narrative flow and fine tuning. After this is completed, we will go back and work on the main story line. We shifted the development sequence due to scheduling conflicts within the team.

C7 Development Update

We are about 60% completed in developing the LI routes and 70% into the main story. Our writer has some scheduling issues due to prior commitments stacking on. For continuity and consistency, we decided to work around the schedule and move to refining gameplay and adding CGs for now. We'll try to catch up with the writing once the writer is back on schedule.

In C7, the consequences of your decisions become more dire. Depending on how you play, you might have to choose between saving you...

Ch7 Development Updates

Ch7 Fimbulwinter is more than halfway done on our checklist. We are working on the LI story lines currently and the next chapter will focus on Anders, Erland and Borge. Both Anders and Erland have unresolved family conflicts. It is up to you to reunite them and force a confrontation. Or would you prefer to leave the past in the past?

Ch7 Fimbulwinter

We have completed the new maps for Ch7 and currently doing the area testing for the 72 explorable areas excluding your base camp. You will find yourself in new unfamiliar terrain. Make sure to keep yourself and your LI warm!

Vanir Guide Update

Vanir Guide v4.5 is updated with the idealist LIs.

Ch7 Development and Poll Update

It seems that one year down the road Tyr has replaced Jorgen as the favourite LI in Ergi, and Anders appears to be more popular now. Meanwhile, 80% of Ch7 new areas are completed and these will be the areas for Ch7 - 9. Every three chapters follow a theme and a season. If you haven't guess already, the last part of Ergi will be about surviving the Fimbulwinter. For Ch7, you drain energy in every area where you are exposed to the elements. You will freeze to death once you reaches zero. Seekin...

Ch7 Developments

We are currently working on the new areas for Ch7, which comprises of 8 stages and over 70 new areas to explore. The goal for the next chapter is to get to your family safely and in time. Resources will be hard to find, so a little exploration, ingenuity and preparations in Ch6 will help to get through the areas. There will be some new foes to face and fighting head on may not always be the best options!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Chapter 6 is now undergoing Alpha Testing and will be ready for release soon. Hope everyone here had a good time spending Valentine's Day with your loved ones or dreaming one into existence soon! 

C6 Development Update

We are currently testing and polishing up Chapter 6 to get ready for Alpha Testing. Unfortunately, our artist was down with Covid which bottlenecked the rest of the development. We're back on track now and working on the final scenes. Thanks everyone for the support and patience. We can't wait for Chapter 6 to be ready!

Development Updates

We are currently writing the Love Interest story lines for Chapter 6, so far writing for  7 out of the 9 LIs have been completed. This would be Britt's second time leaving Alfheimr, but this time Jorgen and Borge will leave with him (by default). Depending on your LI, you may also bring him along through Ch7 if you play your cards right. After the LI story lines are completed, we will be adding/polishing the ending scenes before we commence testing. Thanks everyone for the patience and s...

C6 Updates Winter Solstice

Happy (belated) holidays and Merry Christmas to those who celebrates it. The team worked through Xmas and has completed the main story arc for Chapter 6, which puts us at about 60-70% of the content covered. All of Alfheimr, including the pragmatic Falsens honour Winter Solstice albeit for different reasons and in their own way. For Britt, this segment of the Chapter presents the golden opportunity to slip out of Alfheimr. If your main Love Interest is a progressive/Falsen Captain, who will y...

C6 arc update

There are several ways to complete Ch6 and escape Alfheimr. One of the route requires the help of old friends/frenemies. Britt might go about it solo or enlist the help of friends/acquaintances. He may face choices that test his convictions or loyalty. One of the (non-combat) arc is now completed and we are now working on the violent way to escape :)

Vanir Guide Update

Vanir guide for Borge, Kirk and Tyr is updated.

Ch6 Development Update

Chapter 6 is developed by story chunks instead of separate components and pieced together like previous chapters (i.e. codes, CGs, combat, quests, dialogue etc). So far we have completed the beginning segment where Britt defies the Council to leave Alfheimr, as well as the ending segment where he and some chosen Captains to leave via the Winter Solstice blot. We got one of our former writer on board for C6 to manage the different branching options and puzzles. As each quest/segment may have m...

Vanir Guide update

Vanir Guide for C5 is now updated with Henrik, Ralf and Erland LI arc

C6 Development

The story and game planning for Chapter 6 has completed and production has begun. Chapter 6 will have a more open-ended quest system where players have multiple options/ways to complete it. Story wise, the chapter focuses on Britt's attempt to escape the lockdown in order to search for his parents. Since there are multiple ways to do it, the game play should (hopefully) be more varied and interesting. To borrow MagSeb's phrase, it's like a giant escape room puzzle.

First look at Ergi: Fenrir

Fenrir and Alfheimr were enemies for decades, but yet Borge has one as part of his family. Chapter 6 is about finding out who is friend and who is enemy. The development team is working on new areas with the Fjord factions joining the Caverns and started their own settlement. 

The story continues with Britt trying to escape the lockdown and look for his family. Britt discover secret sectors that were lost for decades, with friends or enemies joining him with the search.

Vanir Guide for C5 main/side story/LI(Fjord) part 2

The Vanir Guide includes the first part of the main story (up to 2nd Captain's meeting) and the optional side stories.

Chapter 5 Helheimr v 5.2

Thank you all for your patience and support. And also, thanks to Kire, MagSeb and GBounias for helping us to improve the game and helping the Ergi community. Most of my team will be away 10 - 19, so there won't be any hotfixes until Oct 20 or so. While we have found and resolved as many bugs as we can, the game usually will take a while to stabilise. For those who don't mind, take a shot at Chapter 5 any way!

If you need help, give a shout out at Discord. The resident experts will help ...

Alpha Testing Phase

We have started alpha testing with players after the team completed our own full play through testing. We target to launch Ch5 for patreons either before 10 Oct or after 19 Oct. This is because most of my team (writer, programmer and artist) will be away. We won't be able to release any hotfixes during this period. Hence, if the testing is largely stable, we will aim for the earlier release. Thank you everyone for the support and patience.

Trailer for Ergi Helheimr

Chapter 5 will include combat alternative mini games that requires little grind and skill build. Check out the trailer to see how these new mini games are weaved into the story/game. For Chapter 5, there are 2 combat alternative options (+ 1 combat) to end the game. They are designed to look and feel like actual combat, but they function more like stand alone mini-games.
