From the Edge of the Deep Blue Sea
Hi everyone,
Last two weeks we worked on some fixes reported by the players, and also some new content with visual improvements.
As you know, our hero shows the equipment he uses on his avatar. But it was mostly for armors. Some melee weapons were not showing. If he uses hammer, mace or dagger it was still showing short sword. After we added daggers to the game, this became a priority. Now the hero's avatar uses the correct melee weapon type. It was more complicated than it seems, since there must be effects for all poison, ice, fire, lightning for the different weapon types. But it works nicely now.

One neat quality of life improvement is that hero won’t use fire based talent stones accidentally when it is raining. There is now a warning that fire talent stones do not work under rain. And unused stamina will return to the hero. This is actually live with the latest small patch.
Another thing we added is a fisherman as a travelling merchant. He will come up at overworld normally. Hero can buy valuable sea food cheaper, haggle or pickpocket him. But when it is raining this fisherman has a chance to shapeshift into an aquathrian and become a dangerous encounter for our hero.

Thematically these creatures have a secret agenda to make the world ready for their master. And the fishermen are easy targets to turn into minions of Aquathra.

That’s all for now. Thanks for reading. May the tides bring you triumph!
