Topa-din everyone! 3.0 is now available on the main branch
3.0 maps includes a variety of areas surrounding the western landmass of Invimona. There are a number of updates and additions to the game highlighted in the update log at the bottom of this post.
Of note is you'll now have access to your Lazure Petal Boat and pack-boro companion. These areas feature some more unique encounters and challenges both on and off sea!
Next:
We'll be updating these new maps over the next week with some additions and fixes we have in mind but wanted to get it out there for additional players to check out. We are now primarily focusing on finishing the Rally 'War Book Abilities', which rounds off the Rally and new abilities added from 2.0. This will allow upgrading your party's brawling abilities and contextual triggers for synchronized attacks with companions. We'll have more details and showcase of this soon, but these will provide a noticeable bump to the party's power scale for the mid/late game and work within the existing systems.
As for the next maps, beyond the early access grid availability we're narrowing in on the ending content and maps. There are a few options that could work for what the 4.0 maps will be for early access, and we'll be considering how to roll those out soon. Our primary goal at the moment is completing the quest connections to finish the game, and then we'll work in the ordering of the remaining mid-game maps for testing.
We have some patches underway that are going to be rolling out over the weekend/next week, but please let us know if you get a chance to check things out! If not we'll have an in-depth showcase of all this next week.
Thanks again everyone for all the support during early access. Banquet for Fools is becoming quite sizable at this point for just the two of us and with your help it's become a lot easier, more enjoyable and has allowed us to stay on schedule. Thank you for being a part of this, and for all the suggestions - I know we can have peculiar taste in some of these designs and we appreciate everyone who's given suggestions in-line with them.
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!
