After many years of updates, content additions, changes, bug fixes, and community requested changes (thanks for the feedback!), and a few hiccups along the way. Forsaken isle is now officially out of early access!
This update adds a new fiery zone to the initial island, with unique biomes, creatures, and bosses.
A new void themed biome which spreads over time.
Meet new NPCs. A goblin merchant has setup shop in the cavern layer, selling early game accessories, and a smith to help forge end game armour and weapons.
Additional updates to existing biomes, including new items, and smoothing out gameplay progression. These include multiple, and more obvious links to further levels in the case of the wizard tower. The dungeon boss will now seek out and hunt down the player should you spend enough time exploring the dungeon.
You can find the full patch notes below!
