Greetings, Knights!
We hope that you’ve been enjoying the release of Anville, the latest Prime World to join the Ember Knights Universe! Bringing The Great Forge to life was no small undertaking for our small team and has made v0.6 our biggest update yet. We’ve been amazed at the reception and want to thank you for your continued feedback and support!
Now, let's take a look at what we've been working on!
Area 5
After chasing Praxis through the four Prime Worlds, you’ll enter a new and unusual realm. Although Area 5 is still very early in the planning stages, we’ve got some big ideas! Our biggest goal for this area is to make it as unique as possible. Part of our plan includes something quite different from the previous areas, breaking the flow of the standard linear layout. This will give you more choice as to how you progress. We’re going to be really pumping things up for this area and it'll be up to you to determine the best way to conquer it.
Here’s a note from our Lead Designer, Kyle:
Area 1 to 4 have been largely the same in terms of layout, flow, etc. I want area 5 to be shorter than the previous areas but just as intense, have a different method of completing it, add some mystery to what you're going to encounter, and maybe some last minute decision making before you hit the final boss.
Here are some early art concepts from Tom:
Community Appreciation
We're constantly reminded that we have the best community around!
We recently hit a very big milestone for us, an overall 94% Very Positive rating on Steam! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all so very much for your continued support!
As always, we love showing off the amazing work our community has made! Take a look at this incredible one of a kind wooden sculpture carved by Discord member, AlexKairis#4694:
Another amazing piece we'd like to share comes from Discord member, LostIllustrator#3589. Lost has created the first page of a huge project titled, "Ember Tales". Check it out!
Finally, if you haven't had a chance to explore Anville yet, take a peek at Short and Mad as he takes on the challenge with his "Fire and Ice" build. He blazes through with chilling speed!
If you've made any sort of Ember Knights related creation, please share it with us in the Official Ember Knights Discord. We're always looking for amazing content to share!
Now, before we go, we've got a little sneak peek of the November Update, dropping next week!
You've been asking for new player colors and we listened. But, it'll be up to you to discover them!
Until next time!
