Testing and balancing combat. haven't implemented magic yet, but that will put a whole new spin on it. skeletons are a bit tough for level 1 but it can be done. they're in the 6-10 range.

We're launching a demo for our game "From the Heartlands" soon, if you'd like to check it out we have a page for it here on gamejolt now 😀. Heal the land, build up your homestead, help your neighbors and fight back the Witherbark.

Reworked some of the farming systems to help a bit with more accurate placement. so now the player can walk when they're tending the garden and the hit locator will change colors depending on if it hits something else or not.

some of the ledges and torches that help guide the path now. definitely much easier to find the right path/climb the towers now.

I have yet to beat the boss without taking damage, he always gets me at least once lmao. maybe you can do better :D

Plus weapons. loooooots of weapons. 1H and 2H variants, each with different attack speeds, stamina costs, damage (ofc) and ranges. as you level up with each weapon type you'll get a little faster and hit a little harder.

The freedom of the crafting and decorating system can lead to some interesting decisions lol. but we figure, if the player wants to, why not? doesn't break the game to let them place things where they want to... and if they make weird stuff, so be it

Tweaking the combat a bit so it feels less hectic and more controlled/Tactical-ish. More options to create and close distance as well as the beginning stages of the magic system... magic will be used for combat, exploration, and even farming.

Today I was setting up the location of the first boss. His name is "Father" and he is the first of the Patagonians. His task is to guard the road to the House.🛡🗡 Bookmark pre-launch page🔖🔖🔖
