Greetings everyone! I am back again to bring y'all some updates coming to the next title update for Ebonside and the final part of the Life and Love Update. As y'all know, I recently talked about the new stuff I am adding such as a new quest line, new items with a beast book and kakata racing.
With the kakata being a link to my favorite mount in all of rpgs, that being the chocobo. I wanted the kakata to be like the chocobo from FFXI (like most of the game being inspired by FFXI)
BUT, I have gotten RNG loot pools to work. Therefore, this opens the door to the next idea I had for Ebonside. That being Randomized Dungeons.
Those who have played the game, may have notices a building in Yon'yen city that is locked. That being the Adventures Guild
Players can enter a randomly generated ranging Lv50-Lv99, all coming with a completely random challenge. Some may do more fire damage, while one may completely lock you out of skills.
With this, you can unlock new furnishing for your house, as well as new layouts for your home!
But, what really wanted to share is that, I am adding kakata digging to ebonside. And all of the items have been made for it. Players can buy Rock Carrots from any Kakata stable to be able to dig. As well I am going to finally make a UI for the Kakata, giving the keybinds for the commands like Jump and DIg.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you all for your continued support for Ebonside!
Dev Log: Adding new stuff
Hello everyone! Just wanted to post a devlog of all the things I have be up to with the next update of Ebonside. A lot of new stuff is coming when I can get the time to complete it.
Here is a list of all things I am planning on adding to the game.
Adding Kakata Racing. Yes I am finally adding the ability to race these damn birds, but its in a way that isn't like normal racing, its state based. So if you raise a Kakata with crappy stats, you most likely wont win most the time.
Adding a new questline. I am adding a small questline that takes play in the city of Zen'ja. Scaled for lv 80-99. This questline gives ya two new bosses to test your party! As well as new weapons and armor!
Adding more the Kakata Digging. This update will bring the digging mechanic to kakatas, allow you to dig up area items and maybe start some new quests!
Adding the Encyclopedia. I have gotten complaints about not having a book that tells you about a monster or item. So I am adding one to the game, where you can find it in the first monsterhunters guild in yon' yen.
Jerry.
Dev-log: New Bosses
A new quest-line with a two new end game boss fights is coming to Ebonside in this next title update.
Stay tuned, because this boss will put you on your toes! The new quests will be scaled for lv80 and higher with new weapons and armor!
V1.7.6 Life and Love Update.
Hello everyone! Today I have amazing news, I have been working really hard on ebonside! As of y'all know. I have been going through it lately, getting evicted, getting laid off, having my flipping house burn down. I have had my fair share of crap lately, but today I am glad to announce Ebonside's
Life and Love Update
Features that I added include are the following:
Monster hunter guilds all over Mest Jest! Strike down those NM's and get rewarded for it! An MHG has been added to Ja'dolin and P'ran, with new bounty quests!
NPC Lore! Each city has been updated to have more NPCs with special dialog for each npc, from complains about life, to lore about the city. The world of Mest Jest has gotten bigger and ready to explore!
Fixed/Added new Quests. Hop into the new bounty quests as well as some new quests in some cities! I have also fixed some quests not working/ not appearing.
Nerfed Dethard, unfortunately he was able to learn spells that made him really fricking overpowered then what he already is. He is no longer able to learn spells like "Death Count" and "Omega". If you already have these spells in your save, then Ignore this.
General bug Fixes, I have fixed a multitude of bugs ranging from "oh that's weird" to "That's game breaking". These bugs included the Orb stack glitch, which allowed for max stats on weapons and armor, to combat this. Once you augment a piece of equipment, it is permanent. So choose wisely.
Beast-master fixes. I believe I have fixed the problem with Beast-master regarding the monsters bugging out the system. The problem with it was that it was trying to read every single weapon that could be Duel Wielded, and since all the weapons besides the broths didn't have a sprite. It would cause an error. This has being fixed and tested on my end, but I can't say it won't break. Just because during my testing it worked as intented.
Reworked Kakata Raising. You can know have kakatas with stats! The main one being Loyalty. The stats currently don't do anything as of right now. But, in the next update they will play a big role in events like Kakata racing, digging and fighting. That's right, fighting. Bird Up.
NPC Recognitions. Npcs in towns will give special dialog regarding to who is in your party, so keep a look out!
Thank you all for baring with me these couple of months, I say this again. I am sorry, I really love this project and I want to continue working on it. This is my baby, and it takes me back to my days of FFXI.
With everything going on in my life, it has gotten harder to work on it. But rest assured. The DLC will come out, and you guys will get to enjoy all the new content that comes with it.
If you want more updates regarding Ebonside, do think about joining the Discord! Until then Enjoy the new update and if you find any bugs, either make a post on the discussions board or post them in the #Bugs tab in discord.

Statuation Update
Hello everyone, It has been awhile. As of late, my living statuations has changed. Yeah, my fucking house burned down. So I am living in hotel for the time being as well as working on Ebonside. I have decided to scrap the recent plans to rework cooking to be more like the Custom-Made Weapons. Mainly due to it being kinda of a stupid idea. I will be working more on the monster hunters guild and Kakata racing. As well, as working on the DLC Void walker. Thank you for your patience and the continued support.
I know I am not the good at posting updates here, so if you would like to get a hold of me faster. You can join the Ebonside Discord!
Hello, for those who don't know I have been going through some hardships lately. I normally try to keep you all informed and updated on updates on the game. In fact I had one in the works before all the situations happened. For those who don't know what's going on or have not been informed for you to discord me and my wife have been going through some hardships and that has stopped me from working on the game. With the birth of our newborn daughter we had to move out due to facing an eviction because I had gotten laid off of work and couldn't find work. Due to some personal issues regarding my mother that I will not discuss further in this post we were kicked out and homeless for a couple of days. All of my stuff is currently at her house and I'm currently 3 hours away in a different city. I apologize for the situation and I apologize for not being able to update the game if it's in a state of a buggy mess.
When I get everything situated, which won't be for a decent long time. I will continue to work on the game as I did beforehand. But as of right now I'll be taking a very long hiatus, which I really can't do anything besides sit here. If you still wish to buy the game and support me I highly appreciate it, and I really do appreciate all the love and support that I've gotten for this game.
