Names may or may not be final. Content presented in this announcement is not yet available in-game. This is only an announcement of progress to ensure current playtesters the game is still alive and will be receiving updates to its completion.
The playtest pool is on pause and will continue with the next game update.
The Void Round
A new zone, tentatively titled the Void Round, has been completed. The name is in large part due to the ring around which most of the map's paths are built. It continues the story of the prior map and includes additional nuggets of information about the Twin Gods world.
Compared to all existing levels in the game, this level is huge. There are no breaks, no loading screens. It is all one level. There's an estimated 45 minutes to maybe 2 hours of gameplay, depending on how complete one wishes to be. Seeing as how the game is intended to be 5-10 hours minimum, this is great because the next few levels might be as large.
Next Game Update
The next update will be massive. Along with the Void Round, there will be additional scenes in all existing levels. (More later.) At minimum, gameplay changes with the next update include increased walk speed and changes to stamina and the run mechanic.
Game Development Progress
After the Void Round, there are about 3-4 more levels, approximately of this size. Do not expect this information to be included in every update of this type made.
