Looks very interesting. If you provide preview keys for streamers and content creators, get at me :)

The game is set on a dark, chaotic world on the precipice of imminent destruction. A remote, forbidding planet that lies on the threshold between the material universe and the Void. On its battle-scarred surface, players can battle against a host of enemies in fast-paced combat – either solo, or leading a handpicked NPC warband. Beyond combat, players can explore a dark fantasy world on the brink of destruction, discovering lost technologies and encountering slumbering titans of unimaginable power as they uncover the secrets of an ancient star-faring race.
Plus, the game gives the player community the power to shape the storyline of this epic setting through our unique World Quests system – the game’s most defining feature. When players and their factions participate in World Quests, they will be writing the future. The story of each chapter in the series will be curated based on the outcome of these massive shared objectives.

Reclaim ancient glory as a mighty winged Lánaraï, or unleash eternal vengeance as one of the grim, fallen Kheïtanni.
Game Features
Shape the game story through World Quests. These special, game-wide objectives deal with the main plot arcs of the game, and many entire player factions must work together to complete them. Your every choice makes a difference and your glory – or demise – is now in the hands of you and your allies.
Rise to heroic status with Honour Points. Champion the cause of your faction in World Quests and your heroic deeds will be posted to the in-game feed, allowing the community to Honour you for them. Honour Points can unlock upgrades to your character’s skills and abilities, making you even more formidable.
Create and experiment with an intuitive Crafting system. Improve your armour, augment your abilities, display your bloodthirstiness with a gruesome hand-made trophy, or advance the cause of your entire faction by reforging ancient weapons of unimaginable ferocity.
Shape your combat style to your will in Paths. Choose one of four main spheres of warfare and commit wholly to one of these proud warrior traditions, or blend them together to create your own unique fighting style.
Coming soon...

The Symmetron Pillar is now visible almost everywhere in the level – I wanted to add it in as a constant reminder of the bigger objective and context. Had to fiddle with some shaders and textures to get it appearing in spite of the global fog settings.
Today I'm just working on improving some dialogue UI – but it's part of a bigger project where we are expanding our dialogue system and exploring adding voice acting for ALL game dialogue, which is exciting! 😀
Dawn of the Tyrant will be part of the Microsoft Indie Gaming Showcase held at the Sydney Pitt Street store. We'll be there on Saturday October 19th between 1-4pm, so if you're a Sydneysider, come by and give the Alpha a try!

Over the last few days, I've been working on our new dynamic in-game cinematic system. It's almost complete now, with trigger-able player and NPC animations and as well as NPC movement, plus camera moves, music and dialogue.
ps. Not actual game content!
I wish there was a nice GameJolt/Patreon integration that we could use. But never fear! We'll have Early Access available right here on GameJolt very soon. I promise!
