Lawless Lands,
Hey everyone!
So, here we are. One final major update will be released after this one, and that will be when the game is fully released. It may take a bit longer, but that's to be expected. All that's left to do is to wrap up the main storyline. I still have quite a bit of work left for that, but it shouldn't be too bad. I can 100% focus ALL of my time to it without being distracted by extra other stuff such as extra locations, side quests, and so on. There are now over 110 side quests, dozens of different activities, full reward-based playstyle freedom which means that you'll get benefits depending on different kinds of choices and actions such as being a good or evil character or lawful vs lawless, over 300 different unique locations, hundreds of randomized events, and so much more. The game, is nearly complete. It just needs a good rest of the storyline.
This update finalizes the world map entirely, improves load/save time, fps, adds tons more content, and many new secrets. Check out the complete change log below!
