Hello everyone, thank you so much for your support! This is a notice that if you have a retail access key given to you via dm after pledging or have given lifetime support of 9+ USD, please hold on to it. I will be revoking beta access steam keys that were provided in the past at 11pm PST. After these keys are revoked, you will be able to activate your given retail key.
As far as how things will go moving forward for the Patreon, that will be undetermined. I will be developing some idea...

As an update to all supporters, I am now out of steam beta keys to provide. I will be looking to getting Atlyss released on early access soon, hopefully within this year.
While I don't have the specific information at this time, I will look into providing keys to supporters who have paid the same or above the price of the game, which will be 9.99 USD. I will provide a plan on how this will work when that time comes near.
More information coming soon...
Thank you so much aga...

A copy/paste from the discord announcements:
Thank you so much for your interest and support for Atlyss! The game has reached 43k wishlists, and it has been going around quite a bit I've noticed. Needless to say, I'm still chipping away continuing development on it despite it all.
Because of the amount of traction the patreon has recieved and how many keys I've distributed, I have reached the maximum threshold for steam beta override access keys (2,500). This means I cannot distr...

Hello everyone, thank you so much again for supporting the project! The game has reached over 10k wishlists on Steam, and the community has grown ten-fold on the Discord Server as well. A lot of it has been difficult to comprehend but I am setting the goal to keep continuing on and letting this project grow as time goes by.
With that being said, updates to the game on Steam have been commonly occurring, almost daily. Because of how often I update the game, I haven't found the reason to ...
