Major update: new interface, Act 2 map and a refreshed demo

major update

Runecast · published

Next Fest means a lot to us, and everyone who played the demo these days made a difference. So we used the festival to ship RUNECAST's biggest update yet. Here are the highlights.

ONE CONSISTENT INTERFACE

Every screen now follows the same standard: the title in the same place, your balance in the corner, BACK on the left and the main action in gold. Menu, map, forge and battlefield are cleaner and easier to read.

REDRAWN HEROES

We are redrawing the full game's heroes frame by frame, in the same style as the demo heroes. Smoother animations, clearer strikes and every weapon always in the right hand. A preview of the Barbarian, the Berserker and the Son of Thor:

A LIVELIER WORLD

The portals of the four acts were repainted with far more detail, and Act 2 got a travel map of its own: the Iron Mouth, with lava, mines and the Web Queen's lair. The end-of-demo screen was rebuilt too: your results are carved into the monolith, and the WISHLIST button takes you straight to the game's page.

The Web Queen's lair got a brand-new backdrop, and the Queen herself was redrawn.

A LOOK AT ACTS III AND IV

While the demo grows, the full game moves forward: the White Gorge and the Basalt Hall already have their own enemies, bosses and battlefields. Hrimgrim, the Ice Golem and Kolgar await you in the full campaign.

Thank you to everyone who played the demo. If you enjoyed it, add RUNECAST to your wishlist: it is what helps the game the most right now.
