Version 0.50 | Barrier Cores, New Chapter & More
Rangedrifter · published · build 24981691
Hey guys,
After Seventeen weekly updates, the game reached a major milestone today. The second large region of the game's world, to Coast is now complete, closing the current chapter on the game's road to 1.0. With it come deep canyons, colorful blooming fields, sandy beaches and dusty temple ruins.
During the past three months, the game has gained a whole lot of features and it's world grew twice in size. It now contains over 60 sub-regions and 50 dungeons and over 1500 path nodes to explore.
To close it off, this update introduces Cores. They are manifestations of the Barrier left behind by the people who once lived on this land. The path is now split between the regions and the hero will need to destroy the Cores to continue the journey.
In the coming weeks I will look into opening up the path more and add more monster abilities before starting work on the next region, a large mountain range in the north west.
Thank you for your support over these past months! It makes these updates possible. And I hope you like how the game has evolved. Many of these improvements were suggested by the game's community, so thank you to everyone who shared their feedback and ideas.
