I know you all were waiting for that for long time! Finally, the game obtained its own set of animated wallpapers! As I know, many players bought the game not only for playing but also for getting an awesome wallpaper. Until that moment, you could only get a static one. From now, you will also receive a cool, animated, high quality background image!
Here is a preview of some of these wallpapers/backgrounds:

And a gif animation (slightly accelerated due to gif compression):


All the animated ones plus last three are the static ones.
Also don't miss the awesome ambient soundtrack from the game!
Enjoy and don't forget about my another release - Siege Saga!

To get this update, you have to opt in inside your library:
Necesse -> Properties -> Betas -> Select 0.21.x in dropdown.

It has been over a month since the last update, which means this is a relatively big one.

I have updated level generation with new tools that can generate more dynamic and interesting structures. Using this it is now possible to find rivers that flow through islands, a new mini biome found in the caves and a big new structure found in the new deep desert caves.
Cave spider nests and cave lakes now also use this, which means they will be more smooth and natural.



The desert now has a custom deep cave system. Complete with a new ore, a couple of new enemies and a bunch of new items found in it.
The boss introduced in the last update has been moved to this new cave, where it can be spawned by interacting with an object.



Building has gotten a few new additions, including a couple of new fences and new columns. A few textures have also been updated like stone path which now also shows a bridge when placed above water tiles.

Lastly, there are a lot of smaller balance tweaks, a new animation to dropped items and debris, the occasional texture update and more.

Hi Guys--

I fixed a major bug that affected fleet intercepts, and I fixed an issue screwing up Russian localization. Let me know if you see any more show-stoppers. Thanks!

The Lunar New Year event is live on Adventure Land - the highlight of the event is Dragold, there's a new item like the Dragon Armor, the OX Helmet - and an upcoming priest-only weapon



Jayson designed 6 adversaries for the instanced Cave dungeon, the dungeon should arrive within a month



I started a new project, going to work on it alongside with Adventure Land, these 2 weeks I've dedicated to that new project, it's going pretty well, good news for Adventure Land is that I've tackled all the NodeJS as a backend solution challenges - so when the time comes to open source Adventure Land, I'll probably spend around 2 weeks re-writing everything in NodeJS. Unlike the earlier speculation, it will have local emulation so players/developer will be able to test things fast locally

Since the community is so helpful, it seems like a good idea to open source before the hard to reach goal too, but honestly it's a pretty big step and I didn't completely think it through - security-wise it's a big risk to take

Greetings everyone!

Tune in to watch a dev showcase the game play and features of the Genomon: Genetic Monsters Demo. The dev will go through building a lab, completing research, and of course monster creating, by extracting and splicing DNA to grow, battle and upgrade Genomon.

ABOUT THIS GAME

Even in the modern age, there are locations on Earth so remote that few people have ever heard, let alone visited. Among these obscure places are the WHITHERWARD ISLANDS, a collection of six islands in the South Pacific so distant from other landmasses, so removed from shipping lanes, strategic passages, and air routes that the world has nearly forgotten their existence.

Push the boundaries of science while battling the creations of rival genetic engineers on the beautiful and remote WHITHERWARD ISLANDS. EXTRACT, SEQUENCE and SPLICE DNA. INCUBATE, BATTLE and UPGRADE Genomon. Genomon is a genetic monster making lab and battling sandbox.

We're digitally exhibiting at the Big Adventure Event #theBEA from January 21st - January 25th. We'll run multiple streams and announce them here. Apologies if you see several announcements.


We introduce the team and talk about the inspiration and ideas behind LUNA The Shadow Dust.
We show concept art and some gameplay. A lot of behind the scenes content is waiting for you.


LUNA The Shadow Dust is a fully hand-animated Point&Click puzzle adventure, brought to life through wordless storytelling, beautiful cinematics and a breathtaking original soundtrack.
