Hello, travelers!
Let’s start with an apology - sorry we haven’t been active on our Steam page for a while. Rest assured, the reason is that we’re working hard on new content while fixing and polishing the existing one. Just your casual “lost track of time” situation!
We’re all very happy about your warm reception of the recent Cuanacht Rebellion update. Thank you for the support, including all the feedback and bug reports provided. We read and analyze every piece, even if we can’t respond to everyone. So keep the comments going!
We know you want more of The Fall of Avalon, so without further ado, take a peek at what we’ve been cooking for you this time! Keep in mind this is a work-in-progress footage, so everything you see is subject to change.
Starting off with a big one: a first look at the Forlorn Swords, an upcoming snow-themed land. Yes, this one will be for you to explore.
One of the Dál Riata tribes, Theud, is a clan of mages, mystics and alchemists (actually, you’ve already had the chance to meet one of them in the game). Well-acquainted with the Wyrdness. They believe magic is a gift sent to them by Mathair. The Theud refer to themselves in the third person, believing that the name they have acquired is worth uttering as often as possible.
The Frostbitten Warriors - they come from the Oighreata tribe, which disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The warriors come in two forms: a slower, zombie-like one and a more dangerous version with ice crystals.
A few of the other Forlorn Swords enemies you can encounter.
Apart from all the brand-new stuff, we’re constantly upgrading the already-existing content! You can expect various quality-of-life improvements (not to mention the all-around bug fixing), as well as full-fledged additions. Below are some examples.
Some folks will receive new attack patterns. Treat with caution, fire-resistant gloves are advised!
In Cuanacht, you will have the chance to stumble upon a new lantern-wielding NPC. What’s his role? What does he do? Look for him in the game and find out!
A dark fantasy RPG wouldn’t be complete without… plague doctors!
Some say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Yet, we decided it’s about time to take our fellow hostile NPCs for training and polish their movement - all to make the gameplay smoother and add extra depth to combat. We’re now focusing on two things:
[olist]
[*] getting enemies to walk on uneven ground (this is important mainly for regular monsters, but if the system works, we will apply the rules to bigger enemies too);

[*] teaching enemies to dodge your attacks (they’re already pretty agile, as seen below).

That wraps it up for this dev update! We really hope you enjoyed this pack of teasers. We’re now getting back to creating new content and ironing out what’s already present. As always, all opinions and comments are welcome. Let us know what you think about the Forlorn Swords sneak peeks!
Stay safe travelers, and await the next updates!
