🌾 4.0 video showcase!
Hello! The fourth map update is now live!
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
All additions, changes, and balance updates noted at the bottom of the post. Thanks for checking it out!
🙋
4.0 includes the Southern Pass and the point of trouble in the game, Din Varens, where your unlikely heroes could search for clues about the missing residents and enjoy the company of new wildlife and encounters. Dryads, necromancers, and all the spiders you could hope for.

[h2]🌾 Up next [/h2]
September and October are pretty stacked:
🌾build updates following 4.0 that are being finalized
🌾an updated demo
🌾a new trailer marking the release date
🌾the Aven Dura area to the north will get into early access builds marking the 5th early access map addition (for 5.0)
🌾new lyre tracks and combat tracks, volling voices, and various other sfx updates
We're fine tuning ending scenarios and the remaining maps, and will continue plugging them into early access until release!
Bad volling! No necromancy!

[h2]🌾 Techniques[/h2]
If you're jumping in new or checking things out again, the Technique Book was added recently as of 3.8 if you had missed it. This allows advancing your party by allowing new crowd control actions, combining attacks with support guards or summons, as well as a slew of survival abilities.
