Hello everyone,
With just a few weeks to go before the launch of Early Access, we’ve implemented several updates and new features. Here’s a quick overview of the latest additions:
🔹 New Zone: Dark Forest
A dense and eerie forest, darker and more haunting than the starting zone Wispwood. This area blends gloomy woodland with cemetery-like elements. Expect to encounter skeletons, ghosts, and other eerie creatures.
This zone will eventually lead to the first village, where players can build their home (housing). However, this feature is still in development, so the related campaign quest cannot yet be completed.
🔹 Two New Monsters:
• The Wraith – a ghostly spirit that only appears at night. It flies freely and attacks from a distance with magical fireballs. Once provoked, it will relentlessly chase the player.
• The Giant Beetle – roughly the size of the player, it moves very quickly and can leap over obstacles. It will pursue the player without giving up.
🔹 Campaign Questline Begins:
The game’s main storyline is slowly taking shape. A bit more patience! This series of quests will lead you to the village where you’ll be able to build your home and defend it during night-time enemy raids.
🔹 Gameplay Improvements:
Fall damage has been reduced. However, falling from a height now applies a temporary penalty that slows the player upon landing. The higher the fall, the longer the delay before regaining full control.
🔹 Graphics Enhancements:
The day/night cycle has been improved with added shaders, lighting effects, and atmospheric fog, creating a more immersive and visually dynamic experience.
🎮 Gamepad compatibility is in progress for players who prefer it. However, the game remains primarily optimized for keyboard and mouse, especially for upcoming village management mechanics.
Thank you for your continued support and patience.
More updates are on the way very soon!
Best regards,
RRPG2022
