DEVELOPMENT UPDATE # 7

This update highlights the changes made during the most recent steam update (alpha version 0.7.1) which is now live on steam. This update addresses a lot of bugs and quality of life fixes as well as game improvements as we head closer to a Beta release. The main areas of the game addressed with new updates are as follows; Combat, Boss Fights, Player Controls, Visuals and Sound. Detailed patch notes listed below;

Combat:

The Combat system in Rawshire was long overdue for an update, with a new lock on system that focus on player feedback, I am excited for the alpha testers to experience this new update!

BOSS FIGHTS:

It is important that the Boss fights in Rawshire feel both challenging and rewarding! Before this update I found that the Boss fights were tedious and very easy to exploit. I am hoping this update will give the alpha testers a run for their money, as well as bring the challenge level up (but not too much).

More effort was put into the planning and flow of the games story, I am looking forward to implementing these elements as the development continues. That includes updates and changes coming to both the codex system and the abilities systems in the game!

DEVELOPMENT UPDATE # 6

This update highlights the changes made during the most recent steam update (alpha version 0.7.0) which is now live on steam.

COLLECTION UPDATES:

Since the implementation of the CODEX system, it has been expanded upon to include a reward based system. This means that for each discovery you receive experience and or skill points to help build and push your character development forward. This system also includes the new "Lost Soul" events which can be viewed in the CODEX under the Ancestors tab. These events require the player to solve a puzzle and then traverse through the secret portal to save (or not) the trapped Lost Dragon Soul. The Lost stones have also been hidden in each level, good luck!
