We had a great week and we hope you did too. We were with CryTek in San Francisco showing off the Memory of Eldurim and getting to talk to tons of really cool people.
We had a lot of people swarming our booth getting to try out our latest build. We issued a challenge for anyone to beat the first boss on their first try without getting killed would get a free copy of the game. Only 2 people actually completed the challenge.
We also got to present at CryTek's booth. You can see 4 of us in this shot. We are the ones in the grey shirts presenting. From left to right is: Ekcell (programmer), Asgard (our artist), RaB!D (lead programmer), and Bentley (our writer). Taking the picture is pwntree, another programmer.
It was a great experience and our thanks to CryTek for the invitation. We also want to thank everyone who checked out our game and that we got to talk to.
See you guys next year!
Weekly Update: February 28, 2015.
Hey guys!
We got some good changes into the game this week. We think it really improves certain aspects of game play.
Changelog:
-Enemies and bosses re-spawn and get full health when the player dies.
-Parrying added. Press TAB key to parry. Parried enemies take 2x damage when attacked immediately following a successful parry.
-Dodging/rolling greatly improved. The player can now dodge in every direction. Player can now dodge enemy attacks and some spells if timed correctly.
-Battle music added.
-Day/Night cycle reworked. Day time lasts longer, night time is shorter.
-Starting player health increased.
-Many small balancing tweaks, less health on all AI (this is not the balance update, just a general tweak before the big balance update)
-Multiple Bug fixes.
More work was done this week on a few upcoming features. We are attending the GDC next week. We will start development again immediately following our return.
The big balance update, the archives, item stacking, and item throwing are on the horizon.
We will see you guys in San Francisco.
Weekly Update 2/18/2015: New Boss and changes to magic.
This week's update brings another boss into the game. He resides in the heart of the mountain on the far side of the island.
Changes
-New Boss: Arboreal Warden.
-Arboreal Warden area reworked.
-Reworked Ikhor Sickness Mechanic.
-Weapons now affect spell effectiveness.
-Armor now affects Ikhor dispersion rate.
-Fixed various bugs including the door crash.
The tree boss is back. He is still in his first state and we will likely see him get tweaked as time goes on. There are some minor collision issues and we do want to add in a large health bar for all boss fights, as right now he is so large it is tough to see his health.
The changes to Ikhor are going to allow us to get a lot more done in the way of spells. We have already begun work on several additional spells and future updates will bring them your way.
We are going to start work on balancing the game. Nearly every value of damage and health will be addressed.
Thanks everyone!

First update of the year. Quests and Camping
Hello Everyone!
2015 has been a great year thus far. This week's update introduces 2 large changes to the game, camping and a new quest. If you find a campsite and rest at it, you'll respawn from that location when you die until you restart the game.
We have also introduced a new quest into the game. Someone in the town needs your help.
-New quest.
-Camping introduced.
-New Item.
-Improvements to the rolling/dodging mechanic.
-As per the usual, various bug fixes and optimizations.
It's going to be a good year for us. Slowly but surely we are building up our game. Thank you to everyone who has been with us and showed faith in us. Each update keeps making the game a little bit better. It's starting to add up!
Weekly Update: Stone Blood
This Weeks update gives us some good work done on magic with new spells.
-Added in Stone Blood Shard.
-Added in Stone Skin spell.
-Added in Tremor spell.
-Spells now improve with skills.
We are also working on several other things that are going to be in the game somewhat soon. We are making a new area on the island that has taken a lot of work but is really starting to look very good. We don't want to spoil anything but hopefully we have gained your trust enough that you'll believe us when we say that the new area is going to be worth the wait.
We have also been putting some effort into getting books into the game. When they come out we should have several books that give more insight into the lore of the story and our world as a whole.
Hopefully you've survived finals or whatever else you've had to go through this week.
See you next week!
First Week of December Update
Hey everyone!
Our update this week brings in some bug fixes and some new content.
-Added the Arc spell back into the game.
-Fixed a bug on the character selection screen for certain aspect ratios.
-Fixed a bug causing Iyan's door to not always open (probably, it's a hard bug to duplicate).
This was one of those weeks where a lot of work went on behind the scenes. Future updates will have more content that makes it to the end user.
Let us know how you enjoy the update. We'll be seeing a lot more of you very soon.
Happy Thanksgiving!
