Alderian News!

[p][/p][p]Hello everyone! :)[/p][p]With the update out and hopefully (most) of you having had a chance to play it, I wanted to talk a bit about plans and things for the future.[/p][p]The next update scheduled is planned to focus more on adding some side content to Hamun, with some special focus on Marbella and, hopefully, (time dependent), a few more surprises. The last update that just came out was a little more 'experimental' due to the amount of lewd scenes, but this update will be more straightforward.[/p][p][/p][p]We're also working on a few various quality-of-life improvements, including more dynamic shop pricing. I.e., selling ore to a blacksmith, for example, directly will yield higher coinage than trying to sell to a random market stall, as well as improving on how we balance enemies for hopefully smoother combat.[/p][p]We're also looking to expand upon the amount of cheat codes, hopefully adding some fun, useful, or interesting ones to the current roster, which is a bit lacking.[/p][p]There's not much more to say on the game front directly; we're just plowing ahead with the updates. We are keen to get the player able to return to Novaras and see everything that's changed there, etc., and reunite the player with their lost party members and some fan-favorite characters. More on that soon~[/p][p]We are still revamping some of the older character sprites as we go to fit more in line with where we are now.[/p][p][/p][p]Above: Fem-Dros new (Left) - Fem Dros original (Right)[/p][p][/p][p](Yes, Celeste is missing her sword - it'll be added in the finished version.)[/p][p][/p][p]Anyway, that's about it for the game. I'm excited to also say that the manga we're working on, PARASITE BLACK: GRIM DAYS, is going well; here's a little teaser on that with some more details![/p][p][/p][p]Parasite Black: Grim Days follows the story of Karak, an orphan of Wei adopted into the noble Lupinegar household, the reigning family leading the great city of Gerano and its surrounding lands. Sworn to protect Renia, heir to the Lupinegar house, life seems peaceful for Karak... Until the looming war of the Demorai threatens to destroy everything.[/p][p]As Gerano falls, Renia swears she will do anything to restore her house and honor to greatness, hearing about a mystical weapon that could be the key to everything.[/p][p]How far will Renia go to achieve her dreams?[/p][p]What terrible secret is Karak hiding?[/p][p]Find out more soon in Parasite Black: Grim days[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]That's all for now,[/p][p]as always, thank you so much to everyone for your support![/p][p]You guys make all of this possible, :)[/p][p]Love,[/p][p]-The Damned Studios Team[/p][p][/p][p]... Oh, one last thing.[/p][p]Step 1 on how to train your dwarf :)[/p][p][/p][p][/p]
