Hey everybody!

We're having a closed beta for the gaming press, so if you write for a website (or magazine, there are still some of those around, right?), make LetsPlay videos or stream on Twitch, you're in luck!

Please send us an email to press@arcanity.com with a link to your media outlet where we can see a bit of what you do. We don't mind if you don't have a ton of followers & subscribers, we just want passionate people who'll make cool videos!

Things we care about:

• You need to have a PC good enough to run the game and record at the same time.
  
• We want to watch/read a few videos/reviews/streams up from the last few weeks.
  
• Your level of awesomeness!

Things we don't care about:

• How many people follow you.
  
• If you don't make your review/video in English.

Please make sure your email account is listed on your channel or website, you can also DM us at our @PlayTanzia Twitter account.

Here's also a KeyMailer link in case you use that

Hey everybody! I'm here again to let you know about the changes we've made to Tanzia during May and June.


The Lagoon: Yes, you can finally go and explore the Lagoon! Most people already visited the area because we opened it right after the last update. But we wanted to write it here for posterity.
Watch out for the bees though, they're poisonous!

Bear Island: What? Another island? YES! And it's filled with brand new enemies that'll make the Emuri Village look like a florist convention (?). Complete the main quest there to get an awesome new ability (can't tell you what it is, but it rhymes with "Pear Scone"... sort of).
The boat at the Docks will take you there now after you finish the Lagoon quest.

Forgotten Jungle: Welcome to the jungle, we've got fun 'n' games! Yeah! (Please don't sue us, Axel...).
The most mysterious place in the island, and you know what? You´ve passed it a hundred times already and never saw it!
Big secrets will be revealed there, so keep your eyes open. And also, good luck if you're arachnophobic! : P

Since no one reads the full changelog, I added an item that doesn't belong, be the first to find it, post it on Twitter or Facebook and we'll give you a Tanzia beta key! (only one key!).
Good luck!

• add images for slides 0-1 and 2-1.

• remove collision fence preventing drop down from crossroads.

• adjust collision fence at The Docks so you can go in the water by the waterfall.

• fix bug where ice comet is hitting NPCs.

Hey everybody! Thanks for all the great feedback this past few weeks. We've fixed a ton of bugs and made some major improvements.


The Quest Journal: Before, you had little clues on what your current mission was, it was serviceable, but sometimes a little confusing. Now with The Quest Journal, you can see all your current quests and if you click on each one it'll show you what you need to do and where you have to go, it's super handy! Try if if you haven't already, it's the topmost menu button, the one with the feather icon.

Map Icons: Now the map is much easier to read, you have icons for the totems and for important things you need to find during your adventure, for example if you're into the crab quest and you go into The Quest Journal and select it, the map will show you where the crabs are, the same with most quests where you need to find something! You can summon the map pressing M or by selecting the map button on the menu, The Quest Journal will also show the map with quest related icons.

The Emuri Village: That area was closed to beta users for super long and now you can go there! Some people already visited it and died there a lot, some went and kicked ass! Our advice before you set foot there is: Gear up! Or you're going to have a rude awakening!

New lighting: We're still improving the visuals of the game a bit, and we just made some subtle lighting changes you might have noticed. It's not complete yet but you should see some flickering torches, character shadows and, if you have an artistic eye, much improved lighting all around to give Tanzia a much warmer and nicer look than before.

Bug fixes and tweaks: We're always working on improving the game, there's a ton of under the hood changes/fixes we made based on feedback and all the videos we're watching from Lets Players and Streamers. We fixed quests & combat balance issues and every day we add new stuff to the list!

The full programmery techy changelog for April is below. Make a game out of it. See how many lines you can read before your eyes cross and then try to break that record! Post your high scores on twitter!!!

• Add portal to Turtle Beach.
• Add Kurame magic boots quest.
• Main menu work to allow saving/loading multiple games.
• Reduce fireball cost to 10 gold.
• The Docks undead combat balancing.
• Emuri Village combat balancing.

• Now showing quest hint popup banner text for ALL quest updates.

• Restrict the game to 16:9 aspect ratios for now.

• Fix collision issues in The Village perimeter and gates.
• Fix gap in perimeter collision at The Lagoon entrance (Thanks Druidic!).
• Fix the beta collision wall to prevent travel into The Lagoon.
• Fix rejuvenate and regenerate bug that caused them to never wear off.
