- Time to say farewell - 18 February 2019
Today we are bringing sad news. As many of you may know, Blood Ancestors hasn’t been a successful product from the beginning. We started working on BA in 2016 and then the market was pretty much different as it is now. We had only a few competitors and we were delivering something different (not different enough), but since our resources and the size of the studio are small our development pace was slower than the other companies, more games appeared during BA development and then the industry changed its direction, but was too late for us we haven’t had the opportunity of change our development direction. Anyway, we’ve tried to deliver the product we wanted to deliver from the beginning but the lack of funds and the pressure forced us to quick release the early access without being able to make a good marketing campaign or even fully test the game. The game sales were below 1k and this…

After many months without patching, here it comes the new update. We’ve been working on a new matchmaking system and a new party system. Keep in mind both systems are in beta version and could have some bugs. One of the most important changes is that now the Bearer isn’t the only one to have 3rd person view. After tons of feedback and advice we’ve decided to switch the game to 3rd person view and you will see, the changes are huge. We’ve also added a new game mode, Team Deathmatch. If you just want to kill your enemies, just join a TDM game and let the slaughter begin. All the previous bugs should be fixed Many skills have been reworked Sounds and music have been tweaked and improved And many other things…. As a side note, we’re still workin…
- Blood Ancestors big discount, why? - 30 October 2018
https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F30695999%2F6ae14f9dc45c79cf33aa78e7ad7fde4215e95c88.jpg Hellow Relic Hunters. Disclaimer First of all sorry for being absent for so long time, we've been working hard on polishing the game, new stuff, revamping systems and preparing our journey to GStar Korea, on 10th November. Why the game is so cheap? Checking several forums on the internet we have found people being skeptical about why Blood Ancestors has gotten such a big discount. The thing is we've decided to give a boost to the player base since our launch was very bad and totally forgotten by the media, hence the game population remained very low. Since we really want to have happy players in our game, we've decided to lower the price to the maximum in detriment of our earns, because we think the most important thing is to have a healthy population, since a game li…

Overview Hi Relic Hunters, Today we’re bringing a new patch which comes with very important additions and changes. The most important one is the engine upgrade.

FIXES Fixed random player disconnects The capture system is now more accurate Fixed issue with the bot kicks and spawn Many networking issues Fixed some server issues which will improve the whole game performance Bloodshed: Counterattack now working properly.

- Some news! - 18 September 2018
Hi @everyone! We've been a bit quiet the last few days but just because the team is working hard on improving certain parts of the game. As a sample take a look at this new version of the Breten's castle map. But that's not everything, in fact there are plenty of new things coming soon. A new character is almost ready, the 3D team is working on yet another character, the matchmaking is being revamped, the game is now translated in several languages, and a lot more smaller things.

- End of Open Alpha - 15 August 2018
Hi Relic Hunters. Today we're closing the Open Alpha, and we really want to thank everyone who has participated in the test. The open alpha was the last phase for us to have the base for Blood Ancestors. We've been doing closed tests and semi-open tests with many many people during more than 8 months now, and the feedback we've got from this has been very valuable. Now is time to move to Beta and time to release the Early Access of Blood Ancestors, for those that really believe in us or who want the game to improve to become a big game, just be ready to contribute your grain of sand and become part of this game, this studio and this family. Thanks again to all for giving us your sincere feedback and for being so awesome. See you all tomorrow in the new era of Blood Ancestors. Good night!
