Development is still ongoing and the game has been in beta since September or so last year.

It's taking longer than expected to record and lip-sync all the voices in the game (this is the biggest project we've ever recorded character voices for), but the game itself is about 95% complete, with only the aforementioned voices and a handful of bug-fixes outstanding. Once the voices are finalized, we'll probably do a few more rounds of beta testing, and then the release should be forthcoming soon thereafter.

Hi. It has been 8 months since the last update. How much longer until this game is going to be released? Man this game is in the making for a looooong time. David

We're lip-sycning the last character right now (D'arc, the protagonist). He has over 5,000 lines, so it'll still take another couple of months to get through them all. Then we'll put the game through a few more rounds of beta testing, and after that should be good to go. Outside of voice acting and some testing, it only needs some adjustments to the custcenes and to be prepared for Steam release.

After a decade of hard work, Mage's Initiation finally has a release date!
Set your calendars for January 30th, 2019.

We also have a new preview teaser video to whet your appetite for what's to come.

The game now has a page on Steam and you can start wish-listing it. So be sure to do that and help us spread the word!
We're also in talks with GOG.com about releasing on their platform.

Last but not least, we are currently working on native Mac OSX and Linux ports and hope to have them ready for release day. Fingers crossed.

Thanks to everyone for your patience. The long wait is almost over!

Yes, the digital game came out in January 2019 this year. Steam and Humble Bundle Keys were emailed to all Kickstarter and PayPal backers, depending where they pledged. But we haven't shipped any tangible items yet, as they are still being manufactured. That step is likely to be a slower, staggered process since we have a lot of items to handle.

At any rate, you should have received an email at the address linked to your Kickstarter or PayPal account. If you didn't, can you please send an email to support@himalayastudios.com and reference your post in this thread?

I don't have a paypal or kickstarter account anymore. Email's gone through a lot of changes. So much is different nowadays and things.

If you backed the Mage's Initiation game, then I'll need to know the email address you used with your PayPal or Kickstarter account so that I can look up your order. Since there are over 3,000 backers, the original email address is the only way we can tell which backers are owed specific items.

It sounds like you backed via PayPal, so if you remember the email address you used back then, let me know in an email and I can look into it for you, and possibly link it up to your newest email address to make sure that you get your items and game codes.

--EDIT--

It looks like you already emailed us with your updated email address and shipping address on June 4th 2019. I replied back to you on June 6th, 2019 from the email address support@himalayastudios.com. If you didn't receive it, please be sure to add our email address to your whitelist, so that it doesn't get marked as junk or spam. I have updated our records to reflect your latest details.
