4th Era - The RuneChild News

Update Beta 1.6, Options, and Feedback

Added Gore, You can have Blood splatter when you hit an enemy.
Added WayPoints options, so you can remove icons, making it more of a Challenge to find things.
Added FastTravel Options, so you can limit how easy it is to travel.

Feedback things:
Added Stafe options, So you can change between Rotating and Moving sideways with A/D.
Added a break, so it is harder to run through walls.
Added a CheckSum, so you can't edit the Save Game file.
Added a small sound, when you pick up things, so you get audio feedback.
Added that you can also use Arrows and NumPad Arrows to move.
Change how the player touches things, so it is easier to interact with objects.
Expanded the Jump height to 150%, so it is easier to get up stairs.

Added two new mounts, you can ride.
A Stegosaurus, and a Bronze Dragon.
Change three potions, so now you get a random mount, monster or Element, when making those potions.
(Make a +6 Str 'Conjure Mount' potions and you might get a bronze dragon... for a time.)

Early Access

I change it to Early Access, two days before the launch day, so I had to get it re-accepted.
But the Early access price, will be 50%.

It should be opened for Early Access before Easter.
Sorry, if you had hoped to play it from 1st of April.

I have set another challenge for Easter... A real Easter Egg hunt.
You can see the other challenge on the Community Hub.

Since the last update note, I had added some things.
Three leader-boards; Top 5 XP, Top 5 Distance Traveled, and 'A week Challenge'.

There are 20 achievements, and 5 stats so you can see your scores.
There is a Reset for all steam achievements and stats.

The FPS/VSync options have been change, so now you can run the game Faster.
My old potato computer, tops at 180 fps, so ... Maybe I should make that as a challenge.?

Here is the latest Trailer...

Scrolls and EasterEggs

I have updated the interface in the spell and enchantment menus.

I have added that you can use Scrolls, to learn spells.

The Orcs has stores now and you can shop stuff there.

There are about 25 Quest now;
Somebody wanted me to add EasterEgg, so there are an Easter Egg hunt now.


I have started working on the Human City called AmberGate, but still needs some work.




And here is the latest trailer for my game:

Spells, Spells, Spells

The spell all have a primary way to work, and I have tested those.
Like a Summon spell works, as a 'self' spell, but not as a target spell.

Here is the Meteor Swarm with a strong power...

The only thing that is missing is the Lich finally five steps.
The spells are there, but the steps still needs to be joined.

This is a vessel where you store your soul, making you immortal.

Making a small patch for the Steam Next Fest

This was just a minor update, for the steam next fest.

I have made trees with fruit and small Plow furrow with vegetables.
If you eat fruits or vegetables you heal a little, but they also gives you other health things.
Apples and Watermelons gives extra health, Citrus adds mana. Small amounts but...

The Orc towns has gotten orcs, and small fields outside them.
(No Quests in that map yet.)

You can sit and fish or sit a few places.
You can sleep in beds, and that will make you heal very fast.
