It's been a while getting here but here it is! Just in time for All Hallow's Eve! A huge number of updates with tweaks to party members ranging from their new skill ranks to changes in how their personal mechanics work! In addition to that, we've breathed new life into the Dungeons in the form of migrations!
Below you'll find a big list of a thoroughly tested and expanded system intended to help breath more life into playing the game. As time progresses, the number of monsters and the types of encounters will be expanded and refined, and we very much look forward to your assistance in this matter! With your help testing the game, we know it will continue to improve and expand! Once again, thank you for supporting all of us here at Team Nimbus, and we hope you enjoy the update!
