PS: I'm sure some of you are wondering if now that the game is fully released if that means it will no longer receive updates. That is not the case, I always continue to fix and improve my games over time. I also plan to add some extra free content additions here and there when I have the time.

8/5/20 Update 1.5.5

Lawless Lands,

Hey everyone!

So, the story with this update is that it's come early because there were some bugs which halted progress on the current main quest. This is to remedy that, and also add all the other new stuff I've been working on.

The final update/final release is still planned for mid-late August, but it's looking more like late August as I have been very busy with school - I'm graduating with my bachelor's soon and the work is piling up. Bear with me and please have some patience if I'm delayed a little.

This update was exported with me right in the middle of working on the final stages of the main quest. That said, if you play through it, you'll eventually come to a door which cannot be activated when it should obviously be usable. That is the end of what I have right now. You DON'T have to report that to me - that's intentional for the moment.

Check out the complete change log below!

Bug Fixes:
-Fixed "Godly Gift" Quest Rewarding 2 of the same "unique" Item

-Added "From the Ashes P2" Main Quest Segment
-Added "From the Ashes P3" Main Quest Segment
