Release Platforms for Mystic Advent

Following up on the announcement of Mystic Advent, Zero Break Design has determined its first set of distribution services for rolling out the game. Currently the game is targeted for release on Steam, GameJolt and itch.io with special features targeted at each individual service. These are the most common platforms for what the project intends to accomplish and have been selected for maximum reach and distribution potential.

Steam is by far the largest and most commonly-trusted service for game publishing and distribution and a perfect fit for the project as the primary distribution target for the Mystic Advent experience. Combined with secondary mirror hosting on itch.io and GameJolt, the distribution potential for all three services will afford the maximum outreach possible for the scope of the project. Microsoft Store targeting for Windows 10 and Xbox is also in progress.

Zero Break Design is pleased to announce that development of its first full game project is well underway. Mystic Advent is the first in a planned trilogy of divine crisis resolutions and the first complete game package to use the expertise that has been developed with utilizing the entire RPG Maker MV toolset. This project has been the works for just over two years under the development code name of Spectrum's Path (in part because the creator of Zero Break Design also identifies as such, and which is also why the Zero Break Game Design logo employs the use of a jigsaw quadrant which itself has been derived in part from the fact that the symbol is also the universally-accepted mark of the spectrum itself). The current plan for rolling out this ambitious project is for an early access release - with so much of the project already planned out, the prospect of testing it all for concurrent launch is going to be a real pain in the backside making it more feasible to roll this out ...

Unplanned Platform Reevaluation: Redacting iPhone and iPad support

In a rather unfortunate and unexpected turn of events the Mac system that was scheduled for use in creating the mobile device versions of Mystic Advent has encountered an unrecoverable system failure. After trying everything I could reasonably do (wipe config, rebuild boot sectors etc.) I couldn't get it back to working order and ultimately nothing helped. As this was the only Mac within my budget (and also because I had to do a heavy customization job to even support my workload) I have unfortunately been forced to make the hard call in canceling the iPhone and iPad versions of  the game. Obviously I am disappointed in this outcome, but the realities of indie development mean that for a test system that normally costs into the thousands to fail like this means that I basically don't have a choice . This in no way affects other releases of the game which are still on track for the November 2020 launch plan - I have only been forced to abandon iPad and iPhone due to this unfo...
