Hi everyone. We’re back with another relatively short but sweet community blog. Despite all the hard work going on behind the scenes, we don’t have a lot of new content to show you this month. But don’t worry! When the time is right, we’ll have plenty to show off. Today, we want to take this opportunity to address some of the questions we’ve come across recently and take this moment to ask YOU some questions. Ready? Let’s go.

RELEASE WINDOW UPDATE

If you’re new around here, last month we announced our release window and unveiled our all-new trailer. Take a moment to enjoy it here:

To those who have been on this journey with us for some time now, just know we appreciate you and your loyalty more than you know. It’ll be worth the wait!

COMMUNITY QUESTIONS

Can we expect any criminal activity in the game? I know that unlike Cloudpunk this game isn’t playing up the, “it’s PUNK!” in its marketing as much, but is this thing just cyber or is it also cyberpunk? It appears that you’re some kind of up and coming business owner? Is it a front for smuggling, gang hideouts, or at least real estate disputes? Is that the angle they’re going for? Or is it just a game where you sip cyber-coffee and eat cyber-fish?

You will not become a criminal kingpin in Nivalis. Our game focuses more around the immersive nature in this dystopian world. ION LANDS want to capture the atmosphere of how the life of a normal person feels in a Cyberpunk world. You have your day-to-day business, and your goal is to run all the businesses and own the nightlife of Nivalis. On the other side, there is a huge city to explore and of course there are many characters to meet and to learn more about their stories. BUT, there are some criminal activities going on in Nivalis and that’s the serial killer who is lurking through the streets.

A question about a playable character. Is it possible to choose gender, appearance, etc in the Nivalis?

We are aware that customisation is a big topic, especially for slice-of-life simulations. We are discussing with the team what’s possible.

Are there plans to release a demo before launch?

We know that our fans are eager to visit Nivalis before launch. But we need to make sure we are ready and that the timing is right. If there are any demo plans, you will be the first ones to find out about it. But it’s safe to say that there will be no demo in 2024.
