Fire of Rebellion version has been out for a few weeks now. This dev diary will briefly summarize the different features of the game and then discuss future development plans.
Fire of Rebellion v0.3
Version 0.3 contains the following
A list of principles and agendas to set the tone of the game
What comes next?
Currently, much of my plans depend on the feedback I receive. I need to be able to tell which areas need a rework, which ones need more love, and which ones need to be re-conceptualized entirely. That's not something I can easily do without feedback.
So once you've downloaded and played the game, please send your feedback to mr.bottle328@gmail.com; I hope to have a feedback questionnaire up soon, but feel free to email me beforehand.
That said, I am not entirely without ideas, and hopefully the next update to this game will have something. I am currently considering the creation of two new playbooks: the Prisoner and the Revenant. I may post a future dev diary discussing my ideas for these.
Eventually, I hope to get this game polished enough for a full 1.0 release. Ideally, this will include formatted pages and playbooks as well as commissioned artwork. So on top of feedback, donations are also very much appreciated.
In the interest of transparency, the current plan is that upon reaching 1.0, Fire of Rebellion will be switching from Pay What You Want to a priced game, though I have not settled on a number yet and don't plan to for some time. Because I still want the game to be as accessible as possible, owners of the game will receive the update for free, and new purchases will add community copies.
I don't know when (or even IF) I'll get this game to 1.0. Until then, barring some financial emergency, this game will stay Pay What You Want.
Playtest
I am currently organizing a playtest that starts Saturday, January 28, 9am-12pm, Philippine Time. It will continue weekly for 8-16 sessions at the same time of the week. If anyone is interested, message me on Discord at Mr. Bottle#7873
