Islands of the Caliph - MKSchmidt
The game's Demo version has been updated to be compatible with the full game.

Unfortunately this means any ongoing saved games will no longer work, however anyone who wants to continue a saved game can activate the legacy1.1.7 version through the following method:

Go to "Islands of the Caliph > Properties > Betas" and select "legacy1.1.7" from the drop-down menu if you want to continue your saved game.

Going forward there should no longer be any changes that will require a new saved game. Sorry for any inconvenience!


Soundtrack
You may have noticed that the Islands of the Caliph store page now allows you to get the official soundtrack. If you enjoy Hugo Rodrigue's beautiful music, please consider purchasing the soundtrack.

We've upgraded from the official FSR 1.0 provided by Unity and gone with a custom implementation of FSR 3.0! That's right, we skipped 2.0 because we were already fashionably late to the first party.

With FSR 3 we're getting 90-120 FPS on Game of Thorns on a Mobile 3080Ti.

We also added a Honk feature to the L1 button. Depending on the vehicle class you might see vehicles react to the honking...
Archmage Rises - philmacnevin


What is a Storm Mage like in the new Archmage Rises Combat?
Chaos.

As our most chaotic spell school, Storm Magic in Archmage’s new combat is about capturing lightning's unpredictable nature in a bottle… and using it to your advantage.

While Storm Magic generally has many high-damage potential spells, many have a bonus chance to do something extra. Lightning Bolt can strike the target twice, while Stormstrike sometimes hits everything nearby. Shock, a strategic spell meant to interrupt enemies, has a chance to completely stun the target on success.

Skillful Storm Mages can turn the tide of battle in their favor by drenching their foes with water-themed spells, such as cloudburst and monsoon. Once drenched, the odds of the storm spell bonuses occurring increase dramatically.

Here are a few of the storm spells you can learn:

  • Lightning Bolt: Blast your enemies with a sudden discharge of power.
  • Stormstrike: Lash your enemies with an unstable chain of thunderbolts.
  • Cloudburst: Drench your opponents with a sudden downpour.
  • Monsoon: Call down a deluge to flood the battlefield and soak your foes to the bone.
  • Gale: Summon a roaring wind to batter your foes to and fro upon the battlefield.
  • Shock: Attempt to stun your sodden foes with a bolt from heaven.
  • Storm Shield: Weave yourself a crackling mantle of lightning to repel your attackers.
We'll have more details diving deeper into the magic of a Storm Mage as we get closer to release.

Arms Trade Tycoon: Tanks - ATTT
Greetings, Arms Dealers!

The closed Beta testing has now concluded.

Thank you to everyone who took part! We have received a massive amount of feedback, recommendations, and bug reports. So, we have a lot of work ahead of us.

Stay tuned for the next milestone!

FunGI Team
Wayfinder - [AS] SOLIDAge
Hello Wayfinders and Happy New Year! The team is back and recharged from the holidays, and we are ready to introduce the next set of features into Wayfinder!

We discussed at the end of last year having more meaningful updates faster, and this is the first real test of that adjusted philosophy where we are releasing content a little earlier than “done” so we can solicit feedback before fully releasing it.

The goal of working alongside all of our players remains the same: Make sure things are both functioning as well as fun and rewarding. Going forward, we’ll be calling these events/features in this state “Previews.”

The Job Board Preview is LIVE!
The goal of the Job Board Preview is to provide players with another source of XP for the player’s Wayfinder and Weapon, as well as their Reward Tower. It’s also a place where you can get some memory fragments, gloomstone shards, dyes, cosmetics, and more!

Do you find jobs fun? Do you have ideas for jobs? Did you find a bug associated with the board or the rewards? There will be a dedicated Feature Upvote Board specifically for answering these questions and posting whatever other feedback associated with the Job Board during this preview.



NOTE: As we have previously mentioned, this was the most efficient and direct path towards earning Reward Tower keys, and as such, we have also adjusted Reward Tower XP rates down slightly and will be monitoring them in the short and long term.

We are excited for players to jump in today, tackle some of these jobs to help out the citizens of Skylight and share with us what you think at

Q1 Roadmap

As we discussed last year, we have a big year planned for 2024. We recently updated our public facing roadmap.

We also discussed a lot of these systems, as well as introduced you to faces behind the Discord names you see on our final 2023 dev stream we had last month. If you haven’t seen that yet you can view it here.

While things are always subject to change since game dev is hard and always shifting, we are currently on track to deliver the following in Q1 of 2024.


Job Board
The foundation version of this system introduces daily and weekly rewards for players. Rewards include Gloomstone Shards, Memory Fragments, Reward Tower XP and in the future; exclusive items and cosmetics!

Armory Rank
Armory Ranks are a new form of progression. When you level a weapon to 30, you’ll gain an armory rank. At certain ranks you can expect to gain bonuses such as base weapon stat Increases or weapon echo capacity. You can also unlock additional tempers granting more echo sockets. The max Armory Rank for now will be 20.

Archetype System
When implemented, the Archetype Accolade track will have you earning bonuses such as increased max equipment level, affinity points, and archetype specific passives as you play with various Wayfinders. The second version of this will be the Archetype Talent Tree which will include branching paths and choices for players to really customize their Wayfinder + playstyle.

Mythic Hunts
They may be the fights you know and have memorized, but they will be designed to present an extreme challenge for players and in return have drastically increased accessory and crafting component drop rates, Mythic Rush echo variants, new accessory sets and Black Gloomstone drops to use alongside the increased Affinity Cap. Mythic Hunt Bounties will also be introduced which upon completion, guarantee an Essence or Vestige for Awakening levels 4 + 5.

Frostmarch Expansion
Our first new open world zone since launch will be 2x the size of the current Highlands. Here you’ll find POIs that contain challenges, quests, events, world bosses and even some secrets...

Mounts
We can’t introduce a massive new zone without making it a breeze to travel around can me?! Mounts will allow you to traverse Skylight and open world areas with ease with Founder’s finally getting to show off their Highlands Strider!

Grendel + New Reward Tower
Grendel as well as his associated Reward Tower will be smashing their way into Evenor. All players who purchased a founder’s pack with the FS2 Reward Tower will be getting Grendel and his tower!

All of these systems will culminate in the ultimate challenge - our 1st 6 player Raid. The Raid will launch early in Q2 to allow Wayfinders to gear up and prepare themselves and their squad. We're incredibly excited about this challenging end-game content we’re designing so stay tuned for more info as we get closer!

In between these large releases we will continue to focus on hotfixing the game to improve performance + server optimizations, balance, bug fixes and more.

2024 is the year we see our original vision for Wayfinder coming to reality. We’re incredibly excited about the future and as always thanks for playing and being a part of this growing and awesome community!

Our Adventurer Guild - TheGreenGuy
- Fixed a lot of spelling mistakes
- Fixed a visual bug with tooltips in regards to widescreens
- There is a bug where if you save during the Quest Preparation Menu, the items selected for the quest will get lost if you reload that save. As a countermeasure you can no longer save during the Quest Preparation Menu.
- A black screen has been reported by a player when encountering a wraith encounter during a quest. Unfortunately, the report didn't have the save where it happens and the wraith encounter on its own seem to work fine. If you're the player who reported that bug, can you please send me the save that caused the bug to this email-address? greenguyproduction@gmail.com
