This looks cool, but is there any development roadmap? The kickstarter FAQ mentions the first series of chapters coming out in February, but not how many chapters there will end up being (unless I just failed a spot check). I try to wait until things are completed before finishing them, otherwise I end up running into the end of the content, feeling sad, and then years later trying to awkwardly remember where I was (if I remember to revisit it at all).
Hi there! I did have a roadmap at one point, but it is very much outdated by now, as is some of the info on the Kickstarter. I should actually post an updated one both here, and on the kickstarter updates.
While we are aiming for ~20 chapters total, the game will initially be released with about 10 chapters, or roughly half the total storyline. This is mostly because each chapter is quite large, and will require a great deal of testing once we are in the initial playtest phase. There's a lot of experimental features in the game, and though many of them are working as intended, we don't know what kind of balance issues they may introduce once players get the chance to use/abuse them.
As for release dates, we were very optimistic about our deadline, and have pushed back the release to Februrary 2026, though that may change if we discover some glaring issues with performance, balance, user experience etc.
I was sad that I had missed the Kickstarter for your game once I found out about it, but very glad we can pre-purchase it here! Looking forward to it! =D
Random thought that might help - Some completed Kickstarters put a link to where you can pre-purchase (Outside of Kickstarter) the game/item in the top right of the page, right above "Created by". Might be beneficial to put a link to this page for those interested in the game but who were too late for the kickstarter - like me. (I found it by going to your main website and going to the Support page.)
Second thing I just noticed - The link to your Patreon on your website's support page is broken. It points to secretsofnysera instead of lordsofnysera.
Only saying those two things to potentially help, feel free to completely ignore them! Best wishes! <3
Thanks for the feedback! I thought I fixed the links on the website but apparently not :P
Updating the Kickstarter is a good idea too, as we've had quite a few people posting questions about this very topic. I'll spend some time doing that today.
Congratulations on a successful Kickstarter drive! If we pay the same amounts as the 12/20 USD Early Bird or Nyserian levels, will we get a Steam key as well when development process ends through here?
May your efforts be ever fruitful and successful <3
If you wish to donate through the Itch page we'll send you a Steam key if you prefer to use it instead of Itch.io (it'll also be available officially here as well). But it will have to be for the 20 USD version, as the early bird was Kickstarter exclusive.
We will be keeping an ongoing list of donators/contributions leading up to the release, so you would be on a separate list to the Kickstarter backers.
Similarly, the Soundtrack (10 USD) and the digital artbook (5 USD) and the supporter DLC (5 USD) will be available if you donate the equivalent amount.
I'll add this to the page for other folks in case they have the same question.
Good day to you, Nysera Team! I was, happily enough, just paid by my employer so just want to let you know I'll be contributing today that 20 USD amount so that it be noted down in the contributors list <3
As for that Steam key, I'll gladly take that if possible! Thank you for all your efforts.
Edit: And done! A pleasure to be a small part of this adventure!
A pleasure, and thank *you* for all your work. I'm Red Star on the youtube comment sections of your Sunday Talks, by the by, so I'll keep on keeping on with your adventuring party's adventures in game design XD A most blessed day to you all!

My deepest thanks, much as I thought it might be. Will contribute as soon as feasible!

Thank you so much Etoile! You'll definitely get the steam key on release :)
We greatly appreciate the support!
