It is that time of the month again — time for another development update! We are happy to report that our work on the first Major Patch is going well and you can expect its release in September / October.
We will save the final date announcement and exact patch content for a later time, so that we can serve it together with a kick-ass patch launch date announcement trailer :D
But our team is working very hard to (over)deliver what we have promised at the start of Early Access. Today we want to focus your attention on some environmental changes and talk a little bit about them.
We had to re-work a lot of environments to make optimization smoother, so we decided also to add a lot of extra touch, depth, and details — to make travelling through the region of Horns of the South a feast for your eyes!
We have also changed some locations to make more thematic sense AND re-designed almost every dungeon so that they will allow players to approach them differently (for example through stealth).
Overall, we want to make sure that our level design will not only look awesome (and after changes, we hope you'll notice it looks much better!), but most importantly have a gameplay focus allowing players great freedom of choosing their own style. And without spoiling things - there will be few more viable gameplay styles in the patch, too!
OK, without further ado - check out what we have been cooking on the enviro side!
We will also add something that we definitely wanted to have from the start - a travelling merchant! This NPC will be found in different places throughout the whole first zone and will offer some really unique items (and perhaps more…? ;) ). We are also very happy with this one’s design!
Also, meanwhile we are working on content for future patches and new zones. So we will leave you with a small spoiler of things to come ;)
OK! This is it for this month, but expect a lot of exciting news and (finally) a new, shiny, big patch - relatively soon! We can’t wait to share it all with you!
Best
Qustline team
