Greetings fellow Xon,

It's been a while, but today we are happy to release the latest incarnation of Xon.
There has been almost too many changes to list, as the game has changed a lot.

The major focus has been on making the game more streamlined, while also making it less repetitive.

Powers are no longer picked, interrupting gameplay, but are instead unlocked by completing special land quests, this should make for a more smooth experience and allow for more planning, regarding witch powers the player would like to have, instead of it just being random.

Border Statues now allow migration to neighboring lands without building a Gate, this speeds up early expansion opportunities while still allowing for rush tactics in PvP (and actually making them stronger, since players will now have more lands.)

Resources have been heavily reduced, this also encourages expansion and reduces Shrine spam, since resource harvesting is now much more important.

AI art is gone! It was really fun making AI art with my kid, but in the game, it clashed heavily with the very simply art style and also there was a whole slew of ethics and moral issues with AI art that I had not really not given too much thought. Instead we now more animated gods, we hope you will love it as much as we do!
