IronOak Games have published another short update on the For The King Kickstarter page, giving us an update on the production status of the game:

Good news is we’ve made excellent progress towards our closed beta in the last few weeks. The game received a ton of polish and is relatively bug free as far as betas go. It’s ready to be pushed out once we get it up on Steam…

However, they have also encountered something of a slowdown, with Steam being the bottleneck:

Which brings us to the bad news. We’re currently awaiting the onboarding process for Steam which involves Valve obtaining and confirming info about IronOak Games from the IRS. Apparently this can take up to 30 days. This kind of took us by surprise as we figured we wouldn’t need this kind of info until we begin selling, but alas, we do.

So where does that leave us? Well, we’re not quite sure to be honest. Hopefully it doesn’t take the full 30 days and we can deliver the beta sooner than later. Once we get the go ahead from Steam, it might take a day or two to figure out the process of actually getting the build up and running, and another day or so to send the keys out.

In the meantime, you’ll be able to check out For The King at PAX West, at the Indie MEGABOOTH…if, you know, you happen to be attending said conference.
