Third-person action/adventure sonder is being reworked as an episodic release, announces KAMAi MEDIA (now written in mixed caps to make up for their all-lowercase game name). They celebrate the news with a new video development diary titled "Who Are You" (I really wanna kno-o-o-ow) that includes developer commentary along with a first look at gameplay, which is said to be from an early prototype. Here's word on the change, saying a new rapid development system will help make the episodic system work:

KAMAi MEDIA announced that the game format has shifted from a single game into a series of short episodes, with the first one coming this summer. Every episode will feature “sonder.”s unique style of non-linear narrative gameplay in which it is ultimately up to the player to determine the outcome of the situation he has been put into. The episodic format will allow KAMAi MEDIA to bring the game to gamers faster.

The proprietary tech that KAMAi MEDIA is using to be able to deliver this unique gameplay (including the game engine as well as the “Alato” toolset) has been the focus of development over the past year, and it has now matured enough to allow rapid development of scenarios for the upcoming episodes.
“We are hoping to bring gamers into our development process, and through engagement with our players between episodes, improve the experience and make our game better with the help of the community.” said Petar Kotevski of KAMAi MEDIA.
