=== Early Access ===
This is a placeholder for the update post that may or may not be posted once the game releases.<noinclude>{{stub}}</noinclude>
Brighter Shores is currently in 'early access'. This means a few core features aren't ready yet, and there are probably still some bugs! Please send any bug reports to [email protected]
 
There are some very important features we want to finish ASAP, and before we consider the game to no longer be in 'early access'. These include:
* Player vs player combat (PvP).
* Player to player trading.
* Special attacks on epic weapons to make the different factions more distinct.
* Episode 5 - Stonemaw Hill.
* Leaderboards.
* Additional (higher level) quests.
 
There will NOT be a save reset at the end of early access.
 
===A note from Andrew Gower===
I didn't originally plan to make another MMORPG, but so many people asked me to do so that I eventually gave in!
 
We are only a small indie team (we have never had more than 8 employees). I didn't want to involve external investors or publishers, as this is very much a 'passion project' for me. I made it purely because I love making games.
 
My team and I have poured years of hard work in to making this game, and I think we have managed to produce something which compares well with the products of much larger developers. I am incredibly proud of what we have created, so I really hope you enjoy it.
 
I wasn't planning on doing an early access launch originally either, but I have been wanting to share what we are creating for years now, and it reached the point where I just couldn't stand waiting any longer! Hopefully there aren't too many rough edges. Expect it to improve rapidly over the coming months as we continue to work on it.
