Hey, everyone!

This month, we’re shaking things up with our Dev Diary. Usually, we gather together once a week on Discord to playtest Ardem and make sure it's fun while coming up with new ideas to improve the game. But this time, we thought—why not bring you along for the ride?

So, in this latest Dev Diary video, we’re taking you on a tour of the brand-new area we’ve been working on! If you’ve been on our Discord, or seen the latest Sneak Peak Roundup here, you’ve probably seen some early glimpses. Now, it’s time to explore it in action—with the whole Ardem team!

Fair warning: things are still early in development, so expect some hilariously unexpected moments. But hey, that’s half the fun, right?
