The remaining Update 2 features are getting implemented.

The immediate ones coming up which I have personally been looking forward to implementing is the Personality/Socialization mechanics, combat speed toggles, and new enemy abilities to really distinguish enemies more and provide a bit more strategy in their favor since player abilities have pushed the advantage the opposite way.

More details about that will be coming soon. As always keep making suggestions as a lot of features have been added from quality of life requests, overall game suggestions and expectations from the community.

As always, thank you for your continued support!

Adventurers,

A new build has been pushed to the beta branch (version 0.7.1.5) adding several key features

1. Ambushes will now lock you into combat for 3 rounds. You must try and survive before you are able to run away, making your choices in events a little more important on your actions. For example avoiding an event early vs attempting to flee later.
   
2. Repair window has been added to the Blacksmith
   
3. Battle formations have been added to the stats window. You can change the type of formation you want and then change your party order in order to get it the way you wish.
   
4. Barbershop now added located in the town hall for more customization
   
5. New instant death toggle added to new games. This is off by default but this avoids the 3 rounds of a character bleeding out before death.
   
6. Many additional bug fixes

Adventurers,

Wanted to give a heads up that patch 0.7.1.3 has been pushed to live. For the full patch notes you can check them out here :Latest Patch Notes

Some key highlights from the patch are

• Several new discoverable events
  
• Ally deaths will now drop equipment. Though typically one piece will likely be destroyed due to the wounds.
  
• Additional item rewards for some of the quests specifically more magic items
  
• Staff and Arcane Staff have been added with animations
  
• The ability to heal outside of combat in the camp window. (This isn't exactly efficient versus just resting but it's your resources, and up to you if you want to use potions)
  
• As already pushed but not discussed several UI adjustments have been made.
  
• Some additional balance fixes
  
• Cleric is live
  
• Full portrait revamp
  

Thank you all for the support, as your feedback not only helps gameplay functionality and overall feel of the game but also helps pay artists to provide some additional art support as well.

More details about the remaining features in Update/Milestone 2 will be discussed soon, as there is still a lot to go.

Adventurers,

There is now also a new game start option that will be fleshed out with more of the updates soon. However for now this will allow you to customize your starting party as well as customize the first party member's stats based on several questions similar to many old school RPGs.



The previous default template sandbox game starts will still persist but most of the content for update 2 milestone will fall in this category based on your choices. For the other starts they may just randomly appear.


Also, with this update all character portraits have been updated in preparation for the barbershop coming soon. This will provide a lot more customization options going forward along with the ability to easily add more combinations going forward for the game's sake.



The store's page will be updated once all this hits the full live branch next week assuming no major issues.

Also, due to the new introduction of the healer, when a character hits 0 hit points in combat, you now have 3 turns for which to save the member. Healing them or ending combat quickly are multiple ways to save said unlucky member. Based on feedback this may change, but also will likely be a customized option by the end of the milestone if you wish to not use this.

Adventurers,

the wait is close to over for the highly anticipated Cleric to arrive! This divine champion brings balance and power to every party, offering a versatile playstyle with many distinct spell choices to choose from:



Party Buffs: Empower your allies with blessings, auras, and even energy, giving your team the edge in any challenge.

• Blessing of Valor
  
• Holy Protection
  
• Holy Sanctuary
  
• Divine Energy
  

Healing: Keep your party standing strong with powerful restorative abilities, ensuring survival even in the direst of circumstances.

• Mend Wounds
  
• Healing Light
  
• Divine Mending
  
• Beacon of Light
  
• Prayer of Restoration
  
• Sacrificial Surge
  
• Celestial Heal
  

Radiant Damage: Smite your foes with the power of the divine, channeling radiant energy to strike down enemies with righteous fury. The radiant damage isn't quite as strong as the wizard's damage spells but some of the vulnerabilities to radiant damage on some creatures will come in handy.

• Holy Light
  
• Celestial Nova
  
• Divine Judgment
  
• Radiant Wave
  
• Purge Unholy
  

Just wanted to say, incredibly grateful for your patience as the work on the class is almost complete. The Cleric is a cornerstone of any adventuring party, and currently striving to make it as impactful, fun, and versatile as possible.

Whether you’re bolstering your team, healing wounds, or vanquishing "darkness", the Cleric is ready to join your journey. We can’t wait to see how you use their divine power to shape your adventures!

Also the whole UI got a bit of a face lift, fixing some of the misshapen elements and moving more toward the long term theme.



There is a slight delay in the tests due to some hardware issue but as soon as the tests are complete this build is ready for the beta branch. Hoping to get the hardware issues resolved in the next few days.

The change to the death mechanics is coming soon along with ways to heal the party outside of combat aside from resting and alchemy shops. Also, the character creator is getting a major update next which will bring a bit more story to the overall game and allow for customized options which will be discussed in the next update as well. This will provide the ability to customize the party with different class choices and have some impacts on the overall world from the beginning.

As always, thank you for your continued support!
