🚩 Dear Valiant Supporters of Avalon,

We stand on the threshold of a new era for "Avalon Lords: Dawn Rises." As we venture forward with the reimagining of our beloved game, we are shifting from a free-to-play model to a paid experience. This strategic change is a stepping stone towards the grand re-release we've all been working towards—a completely rebuilt and enhanced version of Avalon Lords.

🛑 In preparation for this momentous occasion, we will cease further distribution of the game. This means that very soon, Avalon Lords will no longer be available for purchase or download until its re-emergence, reborn from the ashes of its former glory.

🔑 Fear not, for those who have already joined the ranks of Avalon, your license keys will be preserved, granting you uninterrupted access to the evolving world we are crafting with care and dedication. Your early support and feedback have been invaluable, and we invite you to continue this journey with us, providing insights that shape the destiny of Avalon.

⌛ For those who yearn to be part of this journey, the window remains open but draws swiftly to a close. Secure your place in the annals of Avalon in the next few days before we make the switch.

🔨 The upcoming early access re-release lays the foundation of a transformed Avalon, offering a taste of the full game to come. Experience the Dawn faction's might and the narrative depths of Chapter 1, setting the stage for the ultimate campaign.

🌑 Looking beyond, the full game release will unleash the entire campaign and introduce the playable Darkness faction in multiplayer, a nemesis you'll confront in the single-player saga.

💬 We eagerly anticipate your continued feedback and insights as we refine and perfect the game. Your voice has been and will always be crucial in the evolution of Avalon Lords.

Stand with us as we prepare for the rebirth of a legend. For Avalon, for glory!

Avalon Lords Update - The Road to 2.0 and Beyond

Greetings, valiant Lords and Ladies of Avalon,

We previously shared our excitement about the impending arrival of version 2.0 in December. However, as with any grand quest, sometimes the path takes unexpected turns. We're here to provide an update and share some thrilling news about what lies ahead.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJFPFC5_HBo

A Strategic Shift to 1.7
Our journey towards 2.0 unveiled challenges that required us to rethink our strategy. As we delved into the complexities of squad combat, we encountered performance hurdles, some legacy issues from the game's earlier incarnation, and some from our ambitious endeavors. The solution? We hit the proverbial red button in early December, taking a bold step to overhaul significant parts of the game.

Performance Breakthroughs
Our dedicated team, bolstered by recent additions, has worked tirelessly to re-engineer various elements of the game. The result? A phenomenal leap from a comfortable 70 FPS to an astounding 200+ FPS on a decent system. We've also tackled the performance impact of environmental elements like shrubbery and trees, enabling expansive fields of grass to flourish alongside this remarkable FPS improvement.

Revolutionizing Multiplayer and Squad Combat
We've gutted and are in the process of reconstructing our multiplayer network code from the ground up. We're not just rebuilding; we're reimagining. Our early steps into squad combat showed promise but faced performance issues. Now, we're rapidly progressing towards a system that can support not just hundreds, but thousands of squads, with only nominal performance impact. It's a bold venture, but we're optimistic about the potential.

Structural Renaissance
A new environment designer has joined our ranks, and their talent is nothing short of extraordinary. They have nearly completed a full overhaul of our structures for Dawn, infusing them with the full HD splendor they deserve. Expect to see a completely revamped structure setup in the next patch.

Magic and Heroes
Our magic system, integral to our heroes' abilities, is now in place, with spells ready and waiting for the final character models. The talent behind these developments promises an exceptional experience for our players.

Embracing the Early Access Chapter 1
Looking ahead, we've decided to mark our official early access with the release of Chapter 1 of our storyline. This chapter will immerse you in King Arthur's return, the encroaching darkness, and the direction of our single-player campaign.

A Commitment to Our Vision
We've heard your concerns about rebranding, but rest assured, my vision for Avalon Lords will be realized. The marks of past challenges are worn proudly, symbols of our dedication and effort. Our story of Arthur will be told, and we will tell it with passion.

For Avalon, we march forward!

Greetings, valiant warriors of Avalon!

The drums of war echo once more across our lands, heralding a momentous occasion. The realm braces for a transformation as vast as the legends of old – the 2.0 update of "Avalon Lords: Dawn Rises," set to unfurl its banners this coming December!

🏰 What Marvels Await in 2.0? 🏰

Squad Combat Unleashed: Witness the awe of warfare as units band together in formidable squads, with numbers upwards of fifteen stalwart warriors.

Visions Reforged: Marvel at the reworked models for both NPC and soldier units, bringing a new depth and realism to every encounter.

Lands Reimagined: Journey through Avalon's terrains, now enriched in both fidelity and quality, immersing you deeper into our world.

Heroes of Legend Arise: Command the likes of Merlin, Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot, each hero from Arthurian lore gracing the battlefield with unique and game-changing abilities.

🗡️ Embark on the Journey This December 🗡️

As the leaves fall and the winds of change blow cold, prepare to step into a reborn Avalon. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or a new squire in our ranks, Avalon Lords 2.0 invites you to a new era of adventure, strategy, and legend.

👑 Your Destiny in Avalon Awaits 👑

Your valor, wisdom, and camaraderie have always been the cornerstones of Avalon. Your feedback, your stories, and your triumphs will shape the legacy of Avalon Lords. Share your voice, share your victories, and let us build this world together!

Ready your armies, sharpen your strategies, and let us meet on the battlefields of Avalon. Glory and honor await in December!

🏰 Hear Ye, Hear Ye: A Grand Update for Avalon Lords: Dawn Rises! 🛡️

Hail, noble champions of Avalon!

With great jubilation, we herald the arrival of a momentous update to Avalon Lords: Dawn Rises. The scrolls have been updated, and the latest chapter in our grand tale is now unfurled for thine adventure.

Behold the Splendors of the New Patch:

🌟 Refined Arts of War and Strategy: We have diligently refined the art of war and strategy, ensuring a more immersive and strategic experience in thy quests.

🏰 Enhanced Visions and Enchantments: The enchanters have outdone themselves! Witness the grandeur of Avalon in even more splendid detail with improved visions and animations.

🔧 Banishment of Cursed Plagues: Our scribes have diligently worked to banish the cursed bugs and afflictions that marred thy journey, ensuring a smoother and more stable quest.

To Arms and To Glory!

Whether thou art a battle-hardened lord or lady of Avalon or newly dubbed knight, this update beckons thee to new adventures. Gather thy allies, gird thy loins, and prepare to carve thy legend in the hallowed lands of Avalon.

🛠️ Update and Embark Anew: The update is ready at the royal armory. Update thy game on Steam to gain access to all the new enhancements and realms.

Lend Us Thine Ears

Thy counsel is as valuable as the finest gold. After experiencing the grandeur of the new update, join us in the hallowed halls of our Steam community or inscribe a scroll of review with thy thoughts.

Together, let us weave a tale in Avalon Lords: Dawn Rises that will be sung by bards for generations to come.
