Ash of Legends News

Hi Players! Last month, we ran a poll on discord where you rated the features you would like to see. The top 3 results are: 1) A new scene, 2) Multiplayer co-op, 3) A new playable hero.

We are happy to announce a new Forest scene is dropping in a few weeks! The Forest introduces a new game mechanic, vastly different from any other scene. For the first time you’ll meet our friendly sheeple! If you haven’t unlocked the normal difficulty yet, in the Forest you will encounter a new enemy, unlock two new weapons, a new tower, and a new trap. Game play and performance will be ready. We wanted to give you an early look before completing animations, audio, and atmosphere.

A new playable hero is coming in the next few months! We promise the same missions will feel significantly different. Sadly, multiplayer co-op will have to wait till next year.

Other things that are dropping in a few weeks are:

• New Assault rifle and Sniper rifle skins. We want to make them look like one-handed weapons with a working holographic sight and sniper display.
  
• An Early Access supporter bow skin.
  

In a few months:

• We are working on another scene with a different feel to it.
  
• We are evaluating a new challenge mode.
  
• We will upgrade the look of some enemies.
  

Please let us know what you think in Discord (https://discord.gg/xGE78wk) or Steam (https://steamcommunity.com/app/1280290/discussions/).

[h3]We are joining Steam's Summer Sale from June 24 to July 8. Support an indie dev, buy our early access game on discount![/h3]

We believe our game is production quality and is complete enough to sell at this point. On our journey to full release next year we plan to double the artwork and gameplay. Our developer, 3 artists, and 2 fulltime dev testers have spent countless hours over the past 2 years to get to this quality and I think it shows. With your support we could double our team from 6 to 12 and deliver a near-AAA game over the next few years.

Bow skin to be given in our next update targeted end-of-July.

We added moving forklifts in the Hangar plus a small surprise ;).

[h2]Bow and Arrow[/h2]
This two-handed weapon was a gift from the ancient Andromendans. Double the power means double the fun! Unlocked by completing Hangar in normal difficulty.

[h2]Atmosphere[/h2]
The best graphics cards deserve the best visuals. The changing weather adds tension and suspense, a sign of imminent danger. Currently, only the Orchard and River have atmosphere. This will soon be extended to all outdoor scenes.

All rivers should have mangroves. They just look so cool :).
