WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON NEXT:
With the improved LOD systems we can handle bigger worlds so we're working on moving even more locations to the generated worlds.
For example Way to Fortuna landmark is in the process of being moved to the Random Grass World which means the game would start in a random world.
Snow Peak castle will be expanded with interior.
New characters will be added. Here's the concept art for the Northmen:
And here's a sneak peek of the in-game models of that same character:
The Northmen will have a huge shield which will block direct attacks.
Cheers,
