Demo Update 2: Blustergust Ridge!

The Blustergust Ridge region has been added to the demo!

Travel to the windy canyons at the base of Mt. Blustergust to find a new part of Scrabdackle, filled with new challenges to beat and characters to meet.


New content this update:
  • A new region, with its own soundtrack and unique environment
  • 4 new enemies
  • 1 new miniboss
  • Several new unique NPCs and landmarks
  • 14 new lore entries
  • Many new challenges, quests, and collectibles
  • A new spell to learn
  • 4,000 words of dialogue
  • A new type of challenge/obstacle I'll let you discover for yourself...


To find Mt. Blustergust, make your way northeast from either the Ducklands or the Rubble Ruins.

(Note - a major piece of new content may seem like it's not new if you don't have the Dashing Boots yet. If so, I'd recommend going to grab them afterwards for an extra surprise!)


Other key changes and improvements:
  • A new lighting system has been added to make caves dark and dim areas more atmospheric
  • A few older music tracks have been updated with a fresh coat of aural paint
  • A huge variety of bugfixes are in place!


This will be one of the last content updates for the demo - I'd like to add in a little more Ducklands content and another player spell ability or two to tie things off in a state I'm happy with for the remainder of update-less development, to better show off the spell swap system, but TB on when that will be.

See you on the ridge!
Jake

Demo Patch 1a



[h2]New content:[/h2]
  • 6th star added, found in the Rubble Ruins. If you found the skull island and felt underwhelmed before - head on back and have a fresh look!


[h2]Changes and fixes:[/h2]
  • Arena softlocking resolved (arena system entirely rewritten)
  • New arena wall visual style
  • Adjustments to a few enemies' knockback and hit recoil, like Trash Bandits, so that their charge attack can't be denied.


[h2]What's coming up next?[/h2]
I'm well underway on the Blustergust Ridge region and am preparing to put it into the demo as a next content update, once I'm sure there's no more critical patching necessary for the current build. That should include another miniboss, some challenges and secrets, and a new spell!

There's a good amount of small things to tweak in terms of bugfixes and cleanup, but that isn't going to be my priority, for now, until the demo content is resolved. Thanks to all who have been reporting them!

Demo Update 1: Quests and Hints

The "To-Do List" quest system and the S.E.E. hint system are now fully implemented!

Open your minimap with Enter and swap from Free Roam Mode to the To-Do List (or TDL) with Tab to see a variety of quests and pieces of information you've learned about them. Quests will auto-complete when their resolution circumstances are met, but will continue to appear under the 'Resolved' view of the TDL.

I'd recommend starting a new game to get the best experience of the system. Note that some hints won't always be hearable! You won't get hints for completed quests, of course, but you also might not be able to get some until you progress a quest far enough (try visiting a S.E.E. kiosk after defeating Waking Fossil!) or until you've already encountered the quest elsewhere.

21 quests, 75 entries, and 15 hints have been added to the game, or about 2,500 words all together! Enjoy!
