Hey there, Unbroken Ones!
In today’s devlog, we want to share some insights about our upcoming big 3rd Moon Update! We hope you will get more in-depth information with this devlog. Let’s jump right in!
The third moon update boasts multiple new features and improvements. New endings and endgames, new levels, a whole huge new area, new music, new bosses, new enemies, new quests...the list goes on.
One of the most important features of the update is the Feast of the Moon and the madness mechanic. Starting on the 3rd moon, the Feast will begin and amplify with a few stages during the phase. Expect many changes to your surroundings and your mind to play tricks on you, making you question what you see and hear. The madness will amplify over time, so you will need something to soothe your nerves. Maybe a visit to the local corner store would help or bedding someone, or possibly some other alternatives as well?
What is real? Besides the general madness mechanic, there will also be constant madness buildup, which will manifest itself in many different ways. Is someone following you? Was the NPC you just talked to real? Get confronted by your fears, guilt, or conscience? Or something else…
A huge new area. This one won't be easy to find, but it should shed some light on some important aspects that have been brought up by multiple NPCs in the game up until now. Expect new enemies, new events, new moody setting,s and with a rather spooky tone.
New levels: multiple smaller action setpieces have been added, like Krankenstieg: battle your way to the Earl's Parish up the old Welness Path. Fun fact: inspired by the park in the town of Gorlice for its Battle of Gorlice.
New quests and NPCs: new important NPCs have been added throughout the realm and will offer multiple different tasks or offers. Like Gilroy in Steinburg, the local craftsman who will be able to craft multiple items from valuables, Stanson, who oversees the Royal Quarter special goods, gang leader of the Slags, Faustin, who might have an offer too good to refuse, and many more.
New endgames: 3 new endings. Once these endgame routes are discovered, the player will be able to learn more about the Betrothed and the source of the madness in Crests Edge.
