Greetings, Jarls & warriors!
Update 2.7.1 is now live on our itch.io page! While the previous update focused heavily on brutal combat, this new patch brings some new display of RPG mechanics, story progression, and world-building to our alternate Viking history.
Here is what’s new in v2.7.1:
Level Cap Increased: You can now push your Viking up to level 9!
New Character Stats System: The first iteration of the core stats feature is here, giving you more information over your RPG build and progression.
Level I Expansion: Added brand new content and areas to explore right from the beginning.
The Shaman Order: Implemented the second iteration of the Viking Shaman Order NPCs
(for story lore).
Death & Resurrection: Dying is part of the journey. Added a brand new, thematic screen for when your Viking falls in battle and prepares to rise again.
Main Story Progression: The lore deepens! Added the third iteration of the main storyline, featuring new texts and fresh illustrations (some are still work-in-progress, but ready for your eyes).
Localization (English & Czech): Added the first iteration of language support. The game, including a full dialogue text review, is now fully playable in both English and Czech.
Quality of Life: Updated the Help screen to make navigating all these new features much smoother.
smoother.
A Quick Note for Steam Players:
This 2.7.1 build is currently available exclusively on our itch.io page as a testing ground for these massive new features. But don't worry—I haven't forgotten about Steam! My plan is to polish everything to perfection and bring the next major update directly here to Steam. I am currently gearing up and aiming to have a robust demo ready for the Autumn Steam Next Fest!
Head over to the itch.io page to try out the current demo version. As always, thank you for your support, feedback, and for keeping this project alive!
Skål! 🍻
