Hi Everyone,

This week’s build brings a few new minor additions to the game to spice up some things:

Lots of new environment destructibles added to Linden Forest to help build out the vibe of the scene. We’ve had requests to expand on this more with unique points of interest and we think it’s a great idea and we’ll add a few new things as we remain in version 0.6.x of development.

Lots of small additions such as a critical hit powerup, a new achievement, and loads of QoL improvements and fixes have been added.

We are developing a new XP system to replace Gold for upgrading class-specific talents. Due to the work involved with developing this system, as well as our constant efforts to work on new content for version 0.7.x, we will most likely not release another update for at least 2 weeks from now, minus any hot fixes of course. Thanks for understanding.

The price of the game has been increased from $3.99 USD to $4.99 USD. Judging by the amount of content that’s now in the game, plus the effort involved and the cost of development, we feel the price increase is reasonable. If anyone would like further justification as to how we base the price of our game, feel free to reach out and we’d be happy to explain in full detail, but we are not trying to be greedy by any means. We are simply trying to charge for what we believe the current state of the game is worth.
