Release Date Concerns

Dex just released this statement about FusionFall Legacys Demo Release

I'm going to just get this out of the way right here on the forums' General Discussion board rather than a formal announcement for you, folks. Maybe this will show you that I'm trying to seriously initiate a meaningful connection with you on behalf of the entire team.

It's only fair in my humble opinion that you all know how the devs' latest private discussions and progress affect the time of which the upcoming DEMO is released, and while I'm at it, I may as well give my personal thoughts and input based upon what I've seen both as a developer and chief administrator of the community.

I'm sorry to inform you all that due to substantial changes on our end, whether it involves reconstruction of the game's elements or our busy lives, we are basically at a point where we can't even pinpoint a decent window of which we decide to release the game. With this being said, I'm going to basically confirm right now, once and for all, that there is NO ESTIMATED WINDOW OR SOLIDIFIED DATE at this time. It's completely up in the air.

Please note that NO WHERE above did I say that development has slowed down. It hasn't. Believe me. IT HASN'T. In fact, I'll have you all know that I was away from working closer with the team for about a week and a half due to health issues. (Don't worry and don't ask. I'm fine now.) As soon as I saw what had been brewing since my leave, I'd been blown away by how much things have graphically been improved, as you all recently got a little taste of information in regards to this from Dogon's dev blog post.

It is because we keep running into and fully implementing these fantastic new methods of building a better game for you all that we keep readjusting our estimated release window. The team is REALLY trucking along with making a game that will hopefully exceed your expectations as players who have been waiting patiently over the course of two years to reenter the Cartoon Network Universe. We're striving to make things better because we feel as though sacrificing the time is worth it. This is certainly not to say we don't care about you guys. We get it. You've been waiting a long time for FusionFall to come back, but this is seriously a case in which we feel the time you're waiting out right now for us to further improve things will pay off. Yes. For real.

Estimating and then announcing a September 2015 release was a mistake on our part, and we sincerely apologize for this. However, we notice that there is still a lot of 'talk' going around the world wide web of how we supposedly 'promised' that it'd be released early October, and people are issuing lots of complaints via Facebook, Twitter, our help center and our e-mail inboxes because the DEMO still hadn't arrived in early October. Newsflash: We didn't say that the DEMO would arrive within this window for certain. Wiltilt, the one who's leading this massive project, briefly explained the circumstances in a FusionFall Legacy news update via our YouTube channel. It's important to note that we only created, and he only mentioned, an estimated release window for early October. It was NOT solidified.

Holding things behind lock and key is not fun for us to do, friends. We want you to play the game when it arrives. We want you to be able to revisit your favorite world after so much waiting. We can't wait to show you the brand new Legacy-exclusive 'stuff' that will be arriving down the road, but you must understand that if we try to rush this any more than what we already are, our goals to impress you will not stand a remote chance of succeeding. The last thing we want is to have something break or simpler things be less-than-impressive when we open the first public DEMO build. We saw you guys' reactions to the character selection menu being released early on various YouTube channels. We're looking to at the very least triple the intensity with what we set in front of you next.

And in case there are some of you out there that still continue to believe that FusionFall Legacy is 'not real'... Well, I feel bad for you. I'll just leave it at that. We're working way too hard for this whole thing to be an April Fool's joke. Yeah, I know we left some of you disappointed back in the Spring, but it's just how we roll on April Fool's day. Just wait til next year.

All-in-all, I am ultimately hoping that this will clear up any more significant confusion out there. I'm hoping that you'll all continue to stick out the wait for what's coming, accept our sincere apologies, and understand why this is all happening the way that it is right now. We're truthfully very appreciative of the support we get every day and we will do everything in our power to make your jaws drop as soon as possible after pressing "LAUNCH GAME" the day the DEMO releases.

Feel free to share your thoughts in replying to this, and spread this information to your fellow heroes.

Regards,
Jake Durr
