In April I focused on getting a new demo version ready for you, as well as working on other stuff in the background.
Demo 1.3.0
The last demo was released while ago and so much has changed. Therefore, I wanted you to have the newest version available to enjoy.
Here's the demo post in case you want to know what has changed: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2438330/view/4214881660505824769?l=english
Discord
One of the major issues for me was to get feedback - especially your feedback. Until now you were able to create a new post in the community hub.
However, that all changes with the new discord server built for Pale Coins (and other stuff):
https://discord.gg/3nu8PHwUjX
It's a place to share your thoughts, things you want to see in the final release or simply talk with me about other games.
Other changes
Apart from the demo and the discord server, a few other things were added/changed:
Improved intro
The background images of the intro have been replaced. Was there a particular reason? No. But they look cool, I guess.
Also, the first gameplay section of the intro has been modified slightly - a new animation was added.
What is that?
Hmm... Is that a... face?
Fire Spells
One of my favourite spells in any game is a fire rain - definitely not a Gothic reference - so I added this new fire spell.
What's next
Right now I am working on new regions such as the academy of the wizards. Also, I am planning on updating the captial in the near future. I was impressed by the city Archolos from the Gothic II Mod "The Chronicles Of Myrtana: Archolos", which I may use as a reference for the re-design. Obviously, due to limited time, I won't be able to create a city as big as Archolos.
Another important thing on my to-do list is to create default dodge/shield abilities. Currently, you'd have to find gear with dodge skills, if you want to dodge attacks.
It may by way cooler to have default mechanics to dodge or shield attacks.
That s all for now.
Let me know what you think and join the Discord server if you want to talk about the game with me or others.
Also, please wishlist Pale Coins if you like what you see.
Best regards,
Lukas
