We are excited to announce the first content update for The Forbidden Arts is now available to play, increasing the total game content to 60%. We also updated our video trailer to show some footage from the new environment.
Grab your daggers and venture into the Northern Wastes, a frozen wasteland in the northern region of Chora, home to all sorts of enemies and dragon kind. Following where the story left off, you must seek out the ancient ice dragon, the Aeromancer, in hopes he can help you discover the secrets behind the phoenix feathers you have found throughout Chora. But something is wrong and things are worse than you thought. It will take a bit of strength and courage, and all of your Pyromancy skills to overcome the darkness looming over The Northern Wastes.
This content update includes several hours of new content including the largest “dungeon” yet as well as the most intriguing and difficult boss fight and challenge level yet. There is also a mini game that is sure to generate a few smiles.
You will have to master the fire jump to conquer the frozen wastelands and it’s now becoming crucial you learn how to switch between abilities on the fly. There are also several new upgrades/abilities you will obtain in this new area.
Besides the new content we have made loads of improvements to the game, from adding new features to squashing bugs to improving the controls, the list goes on. There are so many improvements in this build the list is simply too long to write it all down here. We’re well on our way to tightening up the game and all the feedback we’ve received has been very helpful and we thank you.
There is still a lot of content to be released, mechanics to tweak and features to add, but we’re well on our way and excited for the future. We read you loud and clear about wanting a more fleshed out melee combat system and advanced AI and you can rest assured it’s going to be gradually strengthened as we continue development.
Thank you all and we hope you enjoy The Northern Wastes content as it’s our favorite addition yet. Next up: The Swamp of Green Mist!
