Elden 2021 Update Log #1

[h2]Hello Onerat Dylan here, developer of Elden of the Forgotten. [/h2]

Creating a game is a hard thing to do, let alone making one solo. I personally burnt out during the development cycle and didn't deliver the product I was hoping to create.

I’ve seen the Lets Plays and read the reviews and I understand your misgivings with the current game.

To that end, I've been working on what at this point can only be described as an overhaul. Every element of the game is getting the attention it deserves.

Here I've listed some of the major changes I've implemented so far. Note that this is in no way a complete change log for the Elden Path of the Forgotten overhaul.

Iv been slack with posting development updates to Steam, but with this announcement that is something I plan on changing. Keep an eye out for future announcements and forum posts detailing the coming overhauled version of Elden: Path of the Forgotten.

If you have any suggestions or feedback with this overhaul in mind, I'm always happy to listen. You easily reach me at discord.gg/oneratgames.
