The Book of Unwritten Tales

 
The Book Of Unwritten Tales Gets A Second TaleFeb 21, 2015 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunToday we players of games are spoiled for choice when it comes to adventure games. Wadjet Eye release a steady stream of interesting pointers and clickers, Double Fine are halfway through a new game and recently re-released a classic, Telltale have reinvented parts of the genre and are off doing their own thing, Sierra has been sort-of resurrected and a new King’s Quest is coming, and that’s barely scratching the surface. So it’s funny to think that as recently as four years ago we’d start a post about The Book of Unwritten Tales with “a decent full-length adventure game is as rare as a completely uncooked Banjo & Kazooie developer“. Times do change, eh? But hey, Unwritten Tales is still here, and its sequel is now out. … The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 is now available!Feb 19, 2015 - Community AnnouncementsDear Adventure fans, we are so glad to announce that The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 has left Early Access status and is now available. http://store.steampowered.com/app/279940/ We have also added a new Collection as well as a special Almanac Edition (and an Upgrade Option for Standard Edition/Early Access buyers with the exact pricing difference between Standard and Almanac Edition - so no disadvantages involved) http://store.steampowered.com/app/346230/ JOIN OUR ADVENTURE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TIa042jr_k Your Nordic Games Team!The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 is now available!Feb 19, 2015 - Community AnnouncementsDear Adventure fans, we are so glad to announce that The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 has left Early Access status and is now available. http://store.steampowered.com/app/279940/ We have also added a new Collection as well as a special Almanac Edition (and an Upgrade Option for Standard Edition/Early Access buyers with the exact pricing difference between Standard and Almanac Edition - so no disadvantages involved) http://store.steampowered.com/app/346230/ JOIN OUR ADVENTURE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TIa042jr_k Your Nordic Games Team!The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 Early Access version now available!Sep 8, 2014 - Community AnnouncementsDear adventure fans, dear The Book of Unwritten Tales community, It is such a pleasure to let you know that The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 is finally available on Steam as Early Access version. http://store.steampowered.com/app/279940/ Here is an extended gameplay presentation video which will show you a lots of information on the franchise and The Book of Unwritten Tales 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNA4Wbkd_uI As it is an Early Access version, it is even more important as usual to collect your feedback, issues, thoughts etc. For discussion and general feedback, please use this thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/279940/discussions/0/616187203927495737/ For technical issues and bugs, please use this thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/279940/discussions/0/616187203927561896/ And here are the Early Access FAQs on The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 which you can also find on the product page: Why Early Access? “To get feedback from the community and allow the fans of the first game to play the sequel as early as possible. We want to involve the fans of the series, as well as all new fans, to help us give the game that little bit of extra-polishing. We look forward to the feedback from the players in the Steam forum.” How long will this game be in Early Access? “From September 4th, 2014 until the end of January 2015, with a time gap of approximately one month between each chapter.” How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version? “During the Early Access phase we will release four of the five chapters of the game, leading up to the full release of the complete game end of January 2015. The final version will be polished according to the feedback of the community, in terms of difficulty balance of the puzzles, controller-controls, as well as general polishing of animations, sounds and graphics.” What is the current state of the Early Access version? “Currently the first chapter is playable on PC, Mac and Linux, per mouse or controller. Over the coming months the other chapters will be released. Some of the extra content that was made possible through our backers on Kickstarter is not in the game yet and will be implemented via updates over time. Though the game has already been thoroughly tested on several systems, there might still be certain compatibility or performance issues on specific configurations. The controller-controls are still being polished, as we want to integrate the feedback of the fans here.” Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access? “We plan to have a higher price starting with the final release than now during the Early Access phase.” How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process? “We started involving the fans of the series early this year with a Kickstarter campaign and after this very positive experience we want to continue the dialogue between the fans and us and get their feedback about the game in general, particularly the difficulty of puzzl...The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 Early Access version now available!Sep 8, 2014 - Community AnnouncementsDear adventure fans, dear The Book of Unwritten Tales community, It is such a pleasure to let you know that The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 is finally available on Steam as Early Access version. http://store.steampowered.com/app/279940/ Here is an extended gameplay presentation video which will show you a lots of information on the franchise and The Book of Unwritten Tales 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNA4Wbkd_uI As it is an Early Access version, it is even more important as usual to collect your feedback, issues, thoughts etc. For discussion and general feedback, please use this thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/279940/discussions/0/616187203927495737/ For technical issues and bugs, please use this thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/279940/discussions/0/616187203927561896/ And here are the Early Access FAQs on The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 which you can also find on the product page: Why Early Access? “To get feedback from the community and allow the fans of the first game to play the sequel as early as possible.

Here is the Steam Coming Soon page: http://store.steampowered.com/app/279940/ Keen to push the boundaries of the niche point and click genre, KING Art has also launched a Kickstarter to raise funds to develop additional on-top content for the game. View The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 Kickstarter page here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kingartgames/487759540?token=89e2435a “This is a very ambitious project”, says Martin Kreuch, Producer at Nordic Games. “The fans have been waiting for a new adventure in the world of Aventasia that continues the story of BoUT 1. We have a long and very fruitful track-record working with KING Art, which is why it is important to us to support them in any way that is needed. If KING Art wants to try out something new, why should we be hindering them in doing so? At first, it seemed strange to us thinking about an already funded game being on Kickstarter, but then we were amazed about the possibility to get direct feedback from the crowd about this additional on-top content and features.” “We’re thrilled to be working alongside Nordic Games again on The Book of Unwritten Tales 2,” adds Jan Theysen, Creative Director, KING Art. “At a later stage of the development process – production start was in October 2012 –, we suggested to Nordic Games to add additional features (multiple ways to solve certain puzzles, optional sidequests with different outfits to customise the appearance of your character etc.) and more community communication to further improve the game. Based on our very positive experience with Kickstarter on a different project (Battle World: Kronos), we suggested involving the community directly via Kickstarter to see if these features are something that gamers would like to see in an adventure game. Every cent from the campaign goes directly into the on-top content and we are excited to see how the adventure community will react to our ambitious plans.” Released in 2009, The Book of Unwritten Tales was highly acclaimed by press and critics alike. The sequel continues the story of the beloved protagonists of the first part and its add-on. About The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 The story takes place one year after the events of The Book of Unwritten Tales. Our four playable characters, Wilbur the gnome mage, elven princess Ivo, adventurer Nate and his companion, the critter, all have their own problems to deal with. But then a new threat appears and the four work together to save the world of Aventasia once more. Players will play each of our heroes individually but there are also times where two or even three characters are being played simultaneously, in order to solve some of the riddles & quests.
