What's good?
For your informative entertainment, i've generated a timelapse video of our programmers - past & present - working on the project over the years.
This video also contains some unreleased music from the game, composed by our very own Cilantro.

What's been happening since the last major update?
  • The hefty Savannah Floor 8 is currently having the finishing touches applied before it enters internal review
  • Assuming review goes well, the new dungeon area will be playable very soon™ indeed.
  • This area will also include a couple of new unique consumable items - including one that can grant a monster of your choosing the pink 'Mermaid' palette

  • Programming work on combat ability levels are underway
  • Players will be able to gain a 'rank up' for their ability skills at a rate of one rank per level, to spend on an ability belonging to that unit
  • Rank levels include a range of combat boosts from extra damage, strong DOTs, multi-target hits and sometimes transforming the effect of a unit's attack entirely
  • Putting the 'cloud' in Cloud Meadow, the pending skybox improvements will become a more vibrant, living & breathing backdrop for the animated world of Cloud Meadow
  • Clouds that move, responds to changes in weather and breathes some life into the world
  • Also frees up some texture memory



Behind-the-scenes:
  • Working hard on refactoring the existing quest system
  • This is perhaps the single most essential framework improvement to support content-driven development for the rest of the game's lifespan
  • We know that have a main town full of NPCs that don't quite feel alive, a farm that players are often confused by & a dungeon that updates too infrequently to be the main focus of the game's content
  • However, once we've got this out of the gate, we can begin properly transforming Cloud Meadow into the more immersive & compelling experience we intended it to be
