Welcome to the 33rd issue of The Archos Herald - your source for all the latest updates on Dark and Light’s development and community features!
Development Updates
We released a patch today, Friday 4/27, with some more optimizations to Archos. We made life a little bit nicer for our magic users out there, decreasing the amount of materials that are needed to make and maintain staff heads, as well as increasing the amount of casts before needing repairs. To go along with this, we also increased the quality of spells dropped from dark and elite creatures.
The Monthly Development Timeline shows that we had our Dark and Light Development Kit planned to be released by the end of April. Unfortunately, the kit isn’t quite ready yet, and we need to do some more testing before we release to all of our current and aspiring modders. We’re sorry to delay this again, and currently have it planned for an early May release. As soon as we have a definitive date on the dev kit, we’ll be sure to let everyone know.
Currently, there are some issues with the building zones around Talos and Estle. The patch that we released last night, Friday 4/27, included a change to those zones that we didn't intent to add yet. We understand that some Adventurers are now having issues with their bases because of it, and we’ll also be keeping everyone updated on this situation as to what we’re going to do to remedy this.
