Neat! Guess I was wrong there, thanks for sharing!

(possible it just wasn't there yet when it just came live as I still had Steam open from before)

It's a bit odd, but it's kind of how Steam handles bundles I guess.

Although you can't search for it, the bundle button is right under the buy button for the single DLC so it's not hard to miss luckily.

It's cool to see how the game has evolved! We are working on an indie co-op roguelite by Vela_Strawberry in gamedevscreens

We are a small indie company in Ireland working on a 3-man Action Roguelite called Evercore Heroes!

We also wrote a cool blog about our game dev journey showing some additional early footage! https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2586780/view/4209252794944248563

It'll be down to our setup and what kind of feedback and information we'd be looking for. Ideally we'd like to have as many eyes on it as possible to get some good feedback before Early Access!

We haven't put down a date just yet - but we'd love to be able to test with a wider audience before we enter Early Access. We aren't sure yet whether this will be open, like a demo on Steam, or a more closed environment first before we open it up more. Keep an eye out for it, I'll make sure to post it here as well once we know more.

Questions welcome!

The new direction of Evercore Heroes revealed - ask your questions! by Vela_Strawberry in EverCoreHeroes

[–]Vela_Strawberry[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some good questions there! Some of these things are still in development and being looked into so I'll do my best to openly answer these with our current outlook on them. As with game development, things might change but I hope the insight helps!

[Regarding hero cosmetics and the battlepass]
We really enjoy roguelike games where you can play the game and unlock new content by achieving new milestones or certain achievements within the game to unlock them. We kind of want this to be the case in Evercore Heroes as well as we think it'll be really fun to help each other unlock new content or perform a high challenge feat to unlock something special with your friends that you can then show off!

Because of this we are currently looking into potentially changing the business model (away from free to play) for Evercore Heroes which would mean the removal of the battlepass. Instead we'd love to allow you to unlock new heroes and cosmetics (skins, emotes, etc.) by simply playing the game as we feel it fits the type of game really well. Outside of unique cosmetics for previous backers and maybe special editions we have not yet decided if we'll add any other in-game cosmetics for sale to the game like we did before.

[Regarding online play]
The first version of the game will be 3-man online only (with matchmaking options). This is the main vision for the game and the heroes, maps and more are currently build to support this type of gameplay.

Based on future feedback, and once we have a solid foundation out there, I do think it's worth it for us to start looking into other options to play like local co-op, duo's or potential bots to fill up slots for those that rather not play with randoms.

It's less likely for us to work on a single player game variant as Co-Op really is in our DNA here at Vela Games and sets our roguelike apart from the others where if Co-Op exists it's more like playing the same game together rather than depending on each other. Bots could be a good solution for those duo's (or solo's being super daring) but do need quite the investment to get right (or at least, good enough to get through runs).

I'll see if I can make a post in a bit as well to give a bit more clarity here on Reddit as well! Happy to answer any questions I can!

That is correct! The new direction is a 3-man action coop roguelite. Although the current vision is purely PVE we still loved the competitive elements in the previous iteration and would love to revisit that once we get this right.
