Adventure mode has been merged into the Default branch - 5/06/2018
The Adventure mode has been tested for more than one month on the Beta branch, and we have basically concluded that the new code modules are harmless to the original arena and the core combat system, etc. So now we have updated the adventure mode to the Default branch and continue the regular EA stage development.
Now all players can update to the latest version which contains the Adventure mode. Beta test players now can switch back to the Default branch. Thanks again for your testing and valuable suggestions! :trulycheers: :youtakemyheart:

v0.90.00 Patch Notes - 3/31/2018
First of all, thank you again for your long-term support and patience! The first beta version of the adventure mode is finally available now.
However, it's still too hasty even for a beta version. Actually, we just released it for those eager and hungry players ;)
At present, only the basic sandbox framework has been completed to show the core game mode. There is no main story line, no world events, and only some of town quests completed. Most descriptions, tips and UI are either still under refining.
So when you play the beta, you may feel that the game content is empty and repetitive. We will continue to improve gameplay, details, and add more interesting new contents!
How to update the beta version?
1. Select Low Magic Age in your library, right-click it and hit "Properties".
2. In the dialog that pops up click the "BETAS" tab.
3. Select "beta - Public beta test" in the dropdown menu. No access code is necessary.
Once confirmed, the update will start automatically.
Completed contents for now:
World Map:
A big explorable continent with various landforms and adventure elements.
Cities and Villages:
Villages, towns, cities, and metropolis of different community sizes. In these places, adventurers can replenish supplies, purchase equipment and other services.
Town Quests:
Cities, villages and other human settlements regularly issue various kinds of jobs and tasks. To help towns accomplish these tasks is an important way to improve reputation and relationship with locals.
Trade Goods and Specialties:
A wide variety of trade goods are distributed all over the world by region and town. Buying local specialties and then reselling to distant regions to earn the difference is a very profitable business.
Dungeons:
Numerous explorable multi-layer dungeons, such as caves and ancient ruins, will be generated when starting a new game.
Other updates:
Adjusted the evolutionary curve of monsters' level
Fixed the problem of Guardian's feats
Dismiss is free now
Increased text brightness of description
Show HP mask on portraits
Fixed some texture bugs
