[h1]Hello, acolytes! You’re overdue for a big update, and we certainly have one for you.[/h1] As many of you know, we launched the Acolyte of the Altar demo at [i]Steam Next Fest[/i] back in June, and it was a great success! We gained thousands of wishlists on Steam, and had multiple content creators in the card game world try us out and share us with their audiences. It was an amazing beginning of our home stretch to AotA’s full game release. Much of the credit to our demo’s success is because of you, acolytes. Everyone who gave feedback on the demo, and all of you who participated in our Bug Hunt event over in the discord provided us with the resources to fine-tune AotA in ways, as a five-person dev team, we would not have been able to otherwise. Thank you for all of your efforts in helping our game be the best it can be! [h2]Now, for the upcoming news:[/h2] In just a couple weeks, we are pushing a [i]major[/i] update to the demo: [b]Keeper’s Rites[/b] mode. Each time you complete a run successfully, you may choose one of the Keeper’s Bones: unique features that will increase the difficulty of your journey. The more rites you complete, the more bones you can activate on your next run. We are excited to see how this brings more replay-ability and customization to the experience.

[b]From August 21st-August 27th[/b], get ready to participate in [b]Bug Hunt: Bone Keepers Edition.[/b] Join the Acolyte of the Altar Discord [url=https://discord.gg/7sRDf9tdxN]here[/url] to be notified when the demo goes live and connect with your fellow acolytes as we all submit bug reports, give suggestions, and prepare for our next big Steam press event! *To peel back the curtain a bit, Steam wishlists are key to the success of indie game releases, and with 2.3k currently, we need to keep momentum to reach our goal of at least 7k. We’re confident that announcing this new demo update will give us the push we need to grow our wishlist count before launch! [h2]Acolyte of the Altar is [i]mere months away[/i] from release, and we are so thankful for all of you joining us on the journey. Let’s hunt some bugs![/h2] - Cameron and the BKG Team [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//43754306/a5fbc9128226b967782055de2cef66ea1c27177a.png[/img]
