Gedonia News

[p]Hello everyone![/p][p]Players have been asking me for an update on Black (Dead) Wastes development and when you can expect a possible release.[/p][p]The truth is, so far the update has had a tough time in development. The original developer I found and hired for this task had a lot of trouble learning the source project and barely did anything for 4–5 months before leaving. I then spent about a month looking for another developer to take over.[/p][p]After that, I found a small development team offering freelance work, and they agreed to work on the project. Although they are making some progress, it’s still quite challenging for them to learn all the small details and intricacies of such a large project. Right now, they are working on level design, and I wanted to share a couple of snippets of what we have so far.[/p][p]I have a lot of cool ideas for this expansion, and I want it to meet a certain quality standard — so I will take as much time as needed. If we can’t reach that quality standard, I won’t release it.[/p][p]We are still aiming at 2026 release year.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[p]Hello everyone! As some of you already know, I originally planned to release a few free updates/expansions for the game after release. The one I originally managed to release was Northern Kingdoms update. I really wanted to work on a sequel, aswell as the new expansion, but the workload with the sequel was too heavy, so I decided to postpone the development of the update for quite awhile. [/p][p][/p][p]Well, the good news is that I finally managed to free some resources to develop the Black Wastes expansion! Now, I won't actually develop this one, I found an experienced an capable dev with 7+ years of experience in development, who agreed to get on this task. I won't say any particular release date at this stage, hopefully it will be this year, but more likely next year.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Regarding what's going to be in the update, the plans could change, but atm we are planning to add a huge continent to explore, raise level cap to 100, add new passive skill tree, epic boss fights and very dark and omious tone for this expansion. Stay tuned for updates, and check out the sequel, which is actively being developed in Early Access!![/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]

Hello everyone! The game was updated with version 1.50а

[h2]Survival mode[/h2]

Survival mode is another way to play Gedonia with another angle, different from the main game. You can access it from Main menu --> Bonus. This time the main mechanics of the game are mixed up with survival mechanics like hunger/thirst sliders and base defense. You will need to defend your base from attackers, build defenses etc.

You will be able to explore quite a huge map in this mode. This is the first map for the game that wasnt made by me. I've found young and promising level designer, who managed to build quite a huge map with mountains, castles, caves, canyons etc over several months.

This mode doesnt have strict end goal, but it could be fun to level up a character or two to see how many waves you can get through.

Other fixes:

• Fixed a bug which didnt allowed to save house in dungeons mode.
  
• Fixed an old bug that incorrectly calculated the duration of buffs with long ticks on a character. Because of this, buffs such as the element of light ticked for a couple of minutes instead of the half hour they should have. They should work fine now..
  

Thank you very much for your support, as you know, my team and I are working hard on the development of the sequel. We recently announced the early access date, the game will be released in early access on March 27, 2025:
