We are less than a week away from releasing the next major content update into The Forbidden Arts. Version 0.7.0.0 will put the total game content up to 95%. That's right, the only thing missing from the game will be the final boss fight and ending cutscene! This next update is massive. There's a new world to explore, a new dungeon, a new challenge level, and another side quest to collect the third set of daggers in the game which will take you to previously explored areas of the game and new areas only available within the quest line. There is a new ability called the Spirit of Flame and some really cool puzzles and enemies you will encounter.
The total game playtime is now estimated at around 25-30 hours, should you choose to complete all content and side quests and seek out the collectibles. There is still a lot of polish we need to add to the game, but things are constantly sharpening up, and if you haven't played the game since it first came out on Early Access... well it's night and day over what you've played then and we hope you will return to check out all that's new. Early Access has been great for the game and we've been working extremely hard to improve everything anyone has mentioned they think could use improvements, and we'll continue to do so until we are finished with the game. When we upload the new build, you can expect a lot more details on what's to come.
We will be increasing the price of the game to $12.99 USD in this next update. It's still going to be priced at a discount compared to the full release, which we are estimating to be somewhere between $14.99 and $19.99 USD. We will not be increasing the price again during Early Access.
Thank you for your support! We can't wait to release the new content and as always, we value feedback, so feel free to comment or write us an email.
