Patch 0.3 Update: Boss Fight & Fishing Update
(Sep 30, 2021)
Welcome back, folks!
It's Michael, from Pixel Sprout Studios!
Are y’all ready for a good old fashioned patch update? I sure hope so!
This is kind of a doozy of an update. Not only have we seriously revamped fishing in Sun Haven, but we’ve added the final boss fight! And there are plenty of other changes to go over too, so let’s get into it.
Let’s start with the final boss fight, since that’s easily the coolest thing since sliced anything. We’ve added more to the main quest line, including the final boss section in Withergate. You’ll find that there are multiple ways to overcome the final boss, so you may have a tough decision to make depending on the type of character you’re playing - will you seek victory in the throes of battle or use your skills to work toward a peaceful alternative?
I’m really excited for you all to play through this content, because it includes some really unique rewards - including a LOT of cool loot!
Important note: The main quest line is NOT finished and there is more content on its way! We decided to jump ahead to the final boss section of the main quest line because the additional content is technically optional/not mandatory. Stick with us though, because we’re still working on adding a significant midsection to the main quest line!
In addition to adding the final boss, we’ve entirely revamped fishing, expanded on our update to the mines, and added 10 new NPCs to Withergate!
