Missives and Musings: The Open World Awaits
[h2]What's New?[/h2]
In the last month we held our first two Alpha playtests. The main focus of these early tests has been network and server multiplayer functionality and stability, and although we've encountered some bugs of various shapes and sizes (as expected during this stage), we're happy to report that server performance was smooooth like butter. Success!
As we grow increasingly confident in stability, we're able to add more and more features to the open world. Below are some newly added areas that players are starting to encounter throughout the Lost Isle. And in case you're wondering... Yes! We do have many more in our back pocket to be added in upcoming builds.
[h3]Points of Interest[/h3]
Watchmen's Garrison
Formerly a stronghold built and manned by members of the Order of the Watchmen, now overrun and infested by the skeletal Forces of Mauroth. Supplies are abundantly available here for anyone brave enough to fight their way through formidable foes.
Sunken Wellspring
A reliable source of fresh water where people can meet fellow adventurers and rest from their travels. An unwritten rule of truce and peace exists here, and only the most depraved and bloodthirsty would dare to break it.
Abandoned Homestead
The former inhabitants appear to have been humble farmers, either killed or forced to flee the home they worked so hard to build. Perhaps they left behind a journal of some sort that tells their story.
Ruined City
What was once a bustling hub of trade, art, and politics, is now reduced to rubble and ruin. What could have caused such destruction? Surely there must be treasures that a determined seeker could find among the debris.
