Hello Alchemists!

We continue to expand our world with new systems, deeper strategies, and immersive mechanics. Here’s what’s new in this update:

💬 Dialogue System

• A new Dialogue System has been added!

• Customers no longer just place orders — they bring their own stories.

• They share their troubles, goals, and secret plans; some ask for help, others seek mischief.

  With every order, the choice is yours:
  Will you serve good or evil?

• Your relationships with good and bad customers will influence the story’s progression and faction balance.

---

🎯 Quest System

• You can now complete quests automatically or manually.

• A failure system has been added for when quest time expires.

• The quest interface has been revamped; active quests update dynamically.

• Quest delivery, acceptance, and rejection are now tracked.

🎒 Inventory System

• A new Inventory System has been added!

• Collected seeds, plants, extracts, potions, and other special items are now stored in an organized inventory.

🧭 Game World & Map

• Purchasable furniture and decorative items are available.

---

⚗️ Potion Crafting

• Potions no longer rely solely on herbal extracts.

• Thanks to new mechanics, ingredients from various gameplay activities can now be used in potions:

• Example: Fish scales, special minerals, and other collectible objects.

• This makes potions more diverse and strategic than ever.

---

🧾 User Interface (UI)

Hello everyone!

This is the first DEVLOG in which I will talk about the main mechanics of the game!

Customers come to youSince you work at a pickup point, customers will, of course, come to collect their orders — but there is one BUT, not everyone comes for orders :) You may have a choice of what to do with visitors: you can kick them out, or you can serve them and hand over their boxes. The choice is yours!

Dialogues

The main mechanic of the game is dialogue — you can talk with all the NPCs. Also don’t forget that your choices in the game can affect how the story develops! Interaction is the most important thing, right? By the way, I forgot to say that you don’t have to hand the boxes over — you can just take a break from work and send the customer packing!

Aaaaaand... Interactivity?

I worked really hard on this mechanic. You can pick up and smash a mug, rip open a box (to see what our visitors ordered), and just mash the keys on the keyboard!

Conclusion

That’s the short DEVLOG — there’s much more content in the game than in this small DEVLOG. At the moment I can tell you what will be in the game demo:

• Achievements

• Statistics

• 6 Visitors

• Some secrets

• And that’s all for now!

Another Devlog will be released soon! Good luck, everyone

• Sound settings - ability to reduce sound volume by different groups such as environment, music, UI etc. (we still might have missed some sound effects, as there are so many)
• Can adjust other player's mic volume (however there may be some bugs with this feature we will address in coming patches)
• Reduced intro video and loading screen volume level
• Decreased the amount the gas mask overlay takes up the screen - the biggest factor is your FOV value and screen resolution (we intend on adding a toggle in the next patch for completely hiding the gas mask overlay)
• Adjusted in-game mic distance, as well as, made it so AI can again hear you speaking

- Events: Fixed a bug where game event notifications (pings) did not show at all.

- Fleets: Fixed a bug where fleets didn't stack correctly after opening galaxy map for the first time.

Orcs and Humans!

The new November Ranked Season has begun, bringing a fresh challenge and significant updates. Sharpen your blades and your wits-this season will test your true strategic mettle.

To ensure a fair and competitive environment, the "Reforged" game mod will be the obligatory mode for all ranked matches this season.

Alongside the new season, we're deploying a major balance patch. Here are the key changes:

Balance & Gameplay Updates:

• Hero Defense Scaling Removed: Heroes will no longer gain bonus defense as they level up. This change emphasizes tactical positioning and smart engagements over raw stat stacking.

• Hero Stat Rebalance: To accommodate the above change, all core hero stats (Health, Damage, etc.) have been carefully recalibrated across the board.

• AI Difficulty Tuning:

  • Easy AI: Has been made less aggressive and more predictable, offering a smoother experience for new commanders.

  • Hard AI: Is now more cunning than ever! It can now purchase and actively use hero items, making it a formidable practice opponent.

Visual & Content Improvements:

• Lich Model Update: Our soul-harvesting spellcaster now commands respect with a brand new, flowing cape. Fear has a new fashion.

• Miscellaneous Fixes: Addressed various bugs, polished UI elements, and implemented several visual improvements for a sharper battlefield experience.

The arena is set. Will you climb the ranks and etch your name into the annals of legend?

Good luck, and fight with honor!
