Hello again, Adventurers!
The time has come. We are happy to announce that Dustgrave's Revelations Update will launch on Monday, October 20th!
All major features are in place, and we're in the final phase of polishing to ensure this release is our most stable and polished one yet. This is our most ambitious update ever, with a massive changelog including dozens of new features and hundreds of fixes.
Here’s a look at what’s coming:
Class Specializations: Classes now offer a more distinctive approach to the game. At level 3, you will choose a Specialization, unlocking unique combat capabilities for your character.
More Talents, More Often: We've added over a hundred new Talents and increased the rate you acquire them while leveling up.
Reworked Skills & Skill Trees: Skill Trees are now unlocked through progression (at levels 2 and 10) instead of at character creation. All existing Skills have been improved for better variety and impact.
Replace Morale with Determination: we have removed all cooldowns from Skills, and replaced Morale with a new stat: Determination. Determination Points are spent to use Active Skills, making fights more dynamic and interesting. No more spamming the best skills on the first turn and waiting for them to be available again!
New Status Effects: We’ve added 8 new status effects and reworked Poison and Bleed to further differentiate builds and strategies.
A Worthy Challenge: Prepare to face smarter and more varied enemies. Each faction now has a distinct identity with unique equipment, tactics, weaknesses, and abilities.
Explore a New World: The map has been completely reworked to reduce travel time and focus on action.
Simulated Settlements: We've drastically improved the world simulation. Settlements now have mechanics to simulate their economy and stability, and factions have a better AI to direct their military aims.
Engaging Dynamic Narrative: The systems behind quests generation have been overhauled to produce longer, more interesting quests with tangible consequences and less predictable outcomes.
Stability & Polish: We have fixed hundreds of bugs, including several long-standing issues, for a much smoother experience.
Quality of Life: We’ve implemented many QoL features the community has been asking for.
Clarity: All in-game English texts have been professionally edited, and the tutorials have been improved.
We will soon make the Revelations Update available in a public beta for anyone interested in trying it early! All details and instructions for joining the beta will be shared on our Discord server.
Thank you for your continued support and patience. We can't wait for you to experience the result of all these months of hard work!
See you on October 20th!
