Update 1.4.3 strange animals ad liminal places!

read the article!


Dear adventurers,

Here comes update 1.4.3, which I’ve decided to release ahead of schedule before diving deeper into the major 1.5 release.

🧭 This update introduces a new type of job mission: searches. They’re similar to the ones where you deliver maps and documents, but this time you’ll travel to a specific location and return to report on rare plantsfabulous animals, and strange places. For now there are a few, but I'll add more. These missions pay better than document deliveries. The destinations aren’t cities, but any point on the map that isn’t a city or sanctuary (in other words, dungeons).

👑 If you’re already friends with the Purple King, Urvhal will assign you higher-paying missions. These take you to liminal places. Those mysterious locations inspire me. Maybe in the future I’ll give them more features and interactions. I don’t know... maybe procedurally generated mapsunpredictable mystical zones… If you have ideas, I’m all ears!

🛠️ I’m still working on release 1.5. A lot of it is already implemented, and the full story is written. I just need to bring it all together and create the graphics, so it’ll take a bit more time. I’m excited to share it with you! Thank you so much for playing!

PS: The Maps DLC (off-game images) may help you to have a look and learn the routes between places so you can better see if it's good for you to pick a job.

#Devruary the feature of my game I'm most proud of... I may say the narrative chapters system or the world map. But actually is Tamzyn, the female protagonist. She's actually the muse of this all.

Major Release 2.0 is here! At last!
