Developer Update #15

Hello everyone!

Sorry for the radio silence, but I was quite busy throughout the past months both with the game and personal life. I want to welcome you to the last developer update before V5 release. The development of the game is going good and the version 5 of the game is nicely taking shape. I have finished the implementation three major quests and content tied to the side characters such as Erelia, Ingrid and one other persona I want to introduce to you in this developer update. Shyaris the succubus, is a non-hostile NPC that will serve as a potion merchant and and an informant for the player character.

Beyond her role of supporting the main character, she has additional mechanic that involves the player in helping her in her small science project. The player can either deliver her some ingredients or engage in a game of dice, with both resulting in a small power gain to the succubus.

Apart from that, I have done additional small changes and troubleshooting in the game itself. Additionally, I have finished implementation of Liliett rework and some additional scenes for her. Her gameplay was also altered to include some new scenes and an additional "stance" for her where she summons a bed for herself and rests on it for a certain amount of turns. This causes her to use a different set of moves and gives some design space for potential future scenes.

The renders for Mnemosyne and Erelia were also completed, leaving only one scene to render for Leilah. I've also done some troubleshooting and further changes to the weapon system as well as features like the blacksmith which will be able to craft weapons of specified type and set power level. I'm currently developing enemies and still have some quests and battle scenarios to implement and test.

Given the advancement of the update itself I can treat you to a list of things that will be coming in V5.

- two new enemies: Succubus Dreamwalker and Night Fairy;

- gameplay update, visual rework and additional scenes for Liliett;

- new maps: Clearspring Village and it's surroundings (Clearspring Bay, Clearspring Mines), Scattered Castle's East Corridor and a small expansion for the West Corridor, Clearspring Forest South;

- entire questline tied to helping the village in defending from a Succubus attack, it includes four major quests and three smaller ones;

- two special NPC characters with various functions and mechanics: Baroness Ingrid Barrington and Shyaris;

- a rework to the equipment system and their enchantments;

- adjustments to the loot drops;

- new weapon type: blunt weapons;

- more than 30 new skills, all of them tied to particular weapons;

- rework of the existing weapon types;

- gold, valuable items and merchants;

- various changes and bugfixes.

Of course, I'll post the full changelog once the update comes.

Now I'll leave you with some teasers.

Hope you've enjoyed the update!
Cheers!
