http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=733163365

Some of you may have already tried the new build we released a few days ago. For the rest of you: Welcome to the new and improved Skara!

Months in the making, this version of Skara is truly a step up from earlier versions. We have totally reworked the game from the ground up, including a new replication system, combat system, a different dueling arena, dedicated servers and much more!

Have a look at the gameplay:

We will continue to improve this build in direct response to your feedback. In fact we just released a Patch (Skara 0.6.2). It includes a few things we would like you to know about:

  • The game should load and play more quickly than it was before. We also worked on eliminating run-time crashes and other bugs that make the game freeze and die in the heart of battle. These are the most crucial problems we found, so if you still experience them--LET US KNOW
  • We have further balanced out the new combat system, specifically the strength of the Tamvaasa ‘Ice trap’ attack and the Shinse poison attack. Both have been reduced a little, as has the strength of the Shinse dash and heavy attack.We have also reduced the Shinse hit stun-- Celea stand a chance now :)
  • Animations are smoother now, and players should see more feedback when fighting Groth. We know that a lot of you notice these little changes, and we hope you can appreciate them.
  • The lighting in the tutorial has been adjusted (it won’t be so dark for new players) and a few other adjustments in the arenas have also taken place. We would love to hear more about the arenas--especially from players who remember 0.5.6 and before.
  • Now for the new goodies. We have worked on some of the new skins! Check out the new Tamvaasa axe designs for the Rockaxe, Bentaxe and the Lakwarguard helmets and armor. As you can see, they are brighter and even more impressive--truly worthy of our favorite northern fighters.
