Greetings Embers,
It has been a LONG time, but we had a lot of changes to make and fix this title. After a lot of back end work we are finally ready to roll out our first major update. Most changes are to the game play mechanics and battle balancing, but we have also added a lot of new content as well. The most obvious change is to the quest log and to our new, improved, and expanded over world. You will start see more regular content coming from here out. We appreciate everyone's patience, and we look forward to bringing a better gaming experience to you. Below are the changes we have made. You will most likely have to start the game over, which we have tried to avoid, but the changes have been too many for most saved games.
ITEMS

Health Potion(Item) Recovery now at 20% Increased drop rate in Gazerbat and Ectophage.
Drought of Life(Item) Recovery now 20% +10 HP.
(New Item) Bandit’s Delight High drop rate from bandits type enemies 25% recovery 10% chance to gain state dizzy
(New Item) Honey 5% Hp and Mp recovery New Dizzy (State) 80% defense, -5% hit rate, 2-7 turns or 50 steps Add State Dizzy to Wine
CLASS CHANGES

Class Stat changes
+1 max hp per level
+0.5-1 defense on ranged classes
-0.5 defense on melee classes
-0.5 agility to all
GAME MECHANIC CHANGES

Retreating from Battle Retreat check 20% easier +15 to party on check Fixed early levels inability to escape.
Changed defense and magic defense calculation Armor is no longer a direct subtraction from attack value but is built as % of damage blocked. So both attack and defense now have a variation of number value. Giving better numbers. Example 2,2,2,2 was changed to 1,3,4,2.
ENEMY CHANGES

Hornet Max hp down 15 to 12 Defense up 4 to 5 Honey added to drop
Cave & Swamp Ectophage Defense down 10 to 8 Max hp up 15 to 22
All bandits Defense down by 1
WORLD CHANGES
New game world map.

I can tell you that we have more coming within the next two weeks including a new and improved overworld map (hint: it is a HUGE) and actual quest content.

Thanks
The Forthright Team.
