I am so thankful for all the positive emotion and wonderful words from the community. The game just hit 8.2/10 Very Positive score from 300 reviews! It's a feat on its own to release a self-published indie game in today's market but to be so positively received by folks from around the globe is a blast! Watching people play on Twitch and YouTube, seeing their reaction, reading all the wonderful comments is simply amazing. People hopping on the Discord server just to say "Thank you, I am a fan" puts a big smile on my face.
A HUGE THANK YOU to the amazing community members who helped play-test the DLC during the beta! You, folks, are amazing and your input has helped shape up the experience for others.
I was worried initially if the lands of Akatsurai will fit well into the existing game and meta, but British authors Dave Morris and Jamie Thomson have absolutely done an amazing work and through their methodical world building, the game only benefits from adding the mysterious shores of the far-east empire. As an old-school RPG and tabletop addict, I am well satisfied beyond measure :)
I am glad I was joined once again by Bernar Aganchyan into this endeavour. I think he has done it again in delivering a vibrant representation of the world of Fabled Lands through his art.
Now, roll the dice and beat the odds with all the new goodies in the full changelog:
