Hello, travelers of myth\u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a quick update on what\u2019s been happening behind the scenes with Epimythos: The Forgotten Legends<\/em> as we prepare for launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing Pains<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is the first Devblog update or real post of any kind on this site, and I’m testing out WordPress features. Originally an old school non-CSS HTML coder, I’m struggling with these sophisticated insert block object and edit page workflows – they are not intuitive with my approach, to put it mildly. But once I get the hang of it I’m sure it will be much better than manually editing every little page like the old days. So bear with me if the page looks a little unrefined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SteamWorks Review in Progress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The game has been submitted for final review on Steam. Once approved, I\u2019ll be able to lock in a release date and open the gates to Early Access. Steam requires a short lead time after approval, so I\u2019ll post again as soon as that timeline is finalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early Access Plans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Epimythos<\/em> will launch first as an Early Access title<\/strong>\u2014available exclusively on Steam<\/strong> during this phase. The core gameplay is fully implemented across all three game modes (Discovery, Speed, and Verbose), and I\u2019m now focused on adding polish, refining question logic, and incorporating player feedback where it fits the vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early Access allows me to continue shaping the game while it\u2019s in the hands of mythology enthusiasts\u2014especially those who enjoy deep lore, challenge-based progression, and a unique take on educational gameplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steam Achievements Incoming<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m actively working on Steam Achievements<\/strong> right now. Most of the core logic is complete, and visual polish is well underway. These achievements will reward mastery, exploration, and perseverance across each of the game\u2019s three modes\u2014ranging from speed-based challenges to long-form discovery milestones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Website Restructuring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Epimythos.com<\/a> is undergoing updates. I\u2019m reorganizing content to better represent the game and all my effort, with updated links to the best mythology resources out there. I will also provide clear breakdownss of each of the three game modes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expect more detailed pages in the coming days that dig into how the game works under the hood\u2014dynamic question logic, answer filtering, anti-repetition filtering mechanics, and more, along with video and trailers. I plan to have enough information on the website to let you make an informed decision about whether you want to play Epimythos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Thanks for your patience and your curiosity. Epimythos<\/em> is meant to be something different: a quiet, challenging, reflective game that respects both the myths\u2014and the player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More soon.
