Happy New Year

[h2]First of all, thank you so much for your support in 2023 and here's to an amazing new year 2024.[/h2]
I really appreciate every single one of you who played the demo or wishlisted Pale Coins. It means so much to me!


There's plenty of new content in Pale Coins which I want to share with you. Have a look at recent images of new regions and items:




A lot is planned for 2024, so here's a rough overview: (Don't worry, no spoilers ahead ;) )

• Bugfixes/Improvements - Your feedback is very important to me, so I wrote down most of your suggestions and want to implement them in one way or another. (e.g. problems with the pathfinding of some monsters, vendor inventory, ...)
  
• UI Overhaul - I want the UI to be slightly darker, so quite some time will be spent on improving the UI.
  
• Sound Design - One of the major goals in 2024 is to refine the sound design by replacing and adding sounds, as well as implementing "3D sounds".
  
• New Regions - In order to provide more exploration in Pale Coins, as well as progression in the main events of the game, new regions will be added along with new dungeons, enemies and bosses. Some new regions can be seen in the "What's new?" section of this post.
  
• Factions - You will be able to optionally join a faction in the final release. Factions will provide equipment and several other bonuses when joining.
  
• New Equipment - Some of the new items will provide specific bonuses to have different builds available near the endgame. E.g. items which grant a longer poison duration and heal you upon poisoning an enemy, as seen in one of the images above.
  
• Game Modes - If there's time, I'd like to implement game modes such as Randomizer and Bingo.
  

Overall, the goal is to get a major portion of Pale Coins done by the end of 2024.
What would you like to see this year? Please let me know :)


Happy new year,
Lukas
