Monarch of Greed - Act 1
Labyrinth Update Coming To Monarch of Greed - Act 1 On January 19
First of all, I'd like to thank all of those that have supported the game so far, either by buying it, or helping out with testing and suggestions. I really appreciate it all.
And to the main topic, Monarch of Greed - Act 1 will see its first big update this Friday.
The update will see the addition of the largely requested Labyrinth Mode. There will be a total of 9 labyrinths, each of them having their own layouts and characteristics, with puzzles and riddles to be completed, switches and portals to find, and so on.
The Labyrinth Mode will also possess two difficulty settings.
On Easy difficulty, players will be able to switch back and forth between the first person and third person views. What makes its so easy is that by moving the camera above the character, you will be able to see multiple halls of the labyrinth at a time. Of course, you can also use the zoom functionality to reduce this effect while still having access to the third person view.
On Hard difficulty, however, players will be restricted to a first person view. This may not sound too bad, but trust me, it is. I created the labyrinths and even I struggled to find my way sometimes. Pick this difficulty if you think you are up to the challenge, and can handle the frustration of not finding your way (but then again, isn't that the main point of a labyrinth?).
Players that manage to complete the 9 labyrinths will be rewarded with a little bit of backstory on one of the main characters of the game (as well as a glimpse into the 2nd Act).
And that's about it. See you guys on Friday!
Monarch of Greed - Act 1 Released
We will still be taking suggestions to further improve the game, or to fix remaining bugs!
A few people on Discord have also voiced their interest in the addition of a full Labyrinth Mini-Game in Monarch of Greed. If more people request it, I don't see why this couldn't happen!
Finally, I've created a Facebook and Twitter page for LledGames, and I look forward to you guys following us there.

Monarch of Greed - Act 1 Discord and Beta Testing
We've got two weeks left till Monarch of Greed - Act 1 finally launches on Steam.
With the game nearly completed, I'll be working on the community aspect, starting with a Discord server for LledGames. For now, it will be limited to Monarch of Greed - Act 1, followed by Act 2 and Act 3 when they are released.

In a week from now, I will also open up the #key-requests channels for a short period of Beta Testing. Those of you that will be taking part will get to keep the game upon release, while those that were the most helpful with bug reports and suggestions will be getting additional keys for their friends.
I'll be looking forward to seeing you!
Cheers.
