Monthly Update: September

Hello!

Great news!

It looks like the demo is ready next month!!!! There will be a playtesting round before that just in order to make some improvements, but after that I think we are actually good to go.

Swimming-
I finally added swimming to the game. Now you will be able to explore Lorne both above and below the water surface!

Ambient NPC-
I spent some time after last month to add some life to the village of Nortshire. Some of the things I have added since last time:

  • Carpenter working on different parts of the village
  • Low density pedestrians
  • Woodchopper
  • Man tending fire
  • Fisherman

Corruption Barriers-
Corruption barriers can be found across Lorne. Be careful! These are conjured by the powerful Lich Yk'Voz in an effort to drain the life from the land. They regularly spawn unholy creatures, take these down before they get out of hand, or soon an entire army wont be enough to stop them.

  • Imps will spawn in groups around the player when you come close to a corruption barrier
  • Waves will spawn repeatedly untill you have destroyed all the power cores for the barrier
  • One last guardian will spawn once you destroy the barrier
