Thank you for your understanding and attention!

Hi everyone! Please kindly be informed that the current targeted release of game update version 0.95.0 will be 11-Sep-2018 (1 P.M. PDT / 8 P.M. GMT).

Since within the past 2 days, I have received quite a few in-depth feedbacks from players, more time was needed to implement all these game improvements and refinements, and thus this update took more than 2 days.

Here is a glimpse of what to be expected from this update:

1. Hunger rate will no longer increase during major boss fight

2. Add more checkpoints for softcore players

3. Increase teleportation device charges to 2

4. Player can choose to reduce monster maxHP after wipe (for softcore only)

5. Improve traps collision

6. New game execution icon (currently hard to see on black background)

7. Increase team level retention from 5 to 10 when starting a new game

8. Maintain previous team points allocation when starting a new game

9. Add a new function at the starting menu to clear existing game progress

10. Add a warning when starting a new game

11. Close all windows when ESC is pressed

12. Attack at monster to interrupt its movement for a very short time frame

I hope the above changes will help to further polish and improve gaming experience! Please stay tuned for this update!

Hi everyone! Please kindly be informed that, the next update version 0.94.1 is targeted to be released on:

07-AUG-2018 (PDT 21:00) / 08-AUG-2018 (GMT 04:00)

This update will have the objective system fully implemented up to the latest dungeon, together with more character conversations and story development.

In addition, below is a glimpse of the upcoming dungeon bosses (to be released with update version 0.95.0).

Are you ready to face the BIG THREE?



Please note that the dungeon development direction has been shifted from "medium sized dungeon (with minions and mini-boss) follow with separated dungeon with major boss fight" to "huge dungeon (with everything included)".

By doing this, more unique objectives can be implemented as pre-request for entering major boss fight (instead of the same old recipe to find key, defeat mini boss and proceed).

Also, this way can reduce number of unnecessary dungeon level transition and let player be more engaged.

Another change currently being investigated is to have game automatically saved (for softcore mode) whenever an objective is completed. However, more testing is required to make sure this is doing more good than harm to the current gameplay mechanics.

I hope the above changes will bring a breath of fresh air to the current game development. Please feel free to let me know your thoughts and provide any suggestions!

Thank you for your attention.
