Gather round, brave souls and skyward seekers, for I bring tidings of our December dispatch, a compendium of advancements and marvels that have transformed our aerial tapestry into an even more resplendent realm. Allow me to unfurl the scroll of our latest exploits:
Refinery Sprites and Tilesets: Behold, the industrious heart of our world now pulsates with new life! We've crafted exquisite refinery sprites and tilesets, a testament to the ingenuity of airship engineers and alchemists alike. Marvel at the intricate machinery and labyrinthine pipes, where steam and strategy blend in harmonious symphony.
Jungle Map Updates: The verdant jungles throb with a deeper mystery. We've enriched our jungles with layers of secrets and perils, turning every leaf and vine into a story waiting to be discovered. Tread lightly, for these updates promise both beauty and danger in equal measure.
Palace Maps - Observatory and Imperial High Command: Explore the Observatory and Imperial High Command, each a marvel of design and strategic importance. Here, the fate of empires is charted among the stars, and commands are issued that ripple across the skies.
Undead Castle Map - Ruined Village: Venture into the shadows with the Undead Castle Map, featuring the Ruined Village. Amidst these forlorn ruins, echoes of the past mingle with the groans of the restless dead. Light your torches; bravery alone will not suffice here.
AI Updates: The AI has been refined for a more cunning and challenging experience. Engage with ranged Troopers, whose tactics have evolved, and melee Zombies, whose relentless pursuit has become even more fearsome.
In conclusion, this December update is a cornucopia of wonders and enhancements (though not as much as it could have been, as we spent some family time), each crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail. As you embark on your journeys, remember: in our realm, every choice leads to a new story, every path to a new adventure.
Yours in boundless exploration, Truecrabs
"To the skies, where every horizon is a new beginning, and every cloud a canvas for dreams!"
First we would like to wish you a very fun year for 2024, may your skill raises and your coffers be full of loot.
We decided to do a joint announcement because we are the same team working on both games. Many of you wanted to know what is up with the team, especially about Mist Legacy because of the post we did in the fall.
For the short version: we will continue our work on both games as much as we can in 2024.
Mist Legacy
The change we did in the fall on monetization did have an impact, but what we still lack is volume. This means we have to ramp up the marketing. As you can expect, marketing is a time and cash-consuming task so it will impact the number of game updates we can do. But marketing, and you, need updates, so we will have a mix of marketing done and new content. So as for today, we are preparing the year with three updates: March, September and December.
We expect that the updates for 2024 will focus on the main story of the game. Each one will unlock a new sector of the map and propose adventures that will have the possibility to unlock upgrades for companions and for your character with the Mistwalker reputation. Also, Sorka wrote to us and asked if she could come back to meet this cute hero she met on the Troll Plateau, we’ll see what we can do with that.
Therian Saga
For Therian Saga, we are very happy to keep this world alive and the way we handle the game is that we accumulate the revenues from the game and when we have enough we use it to create a game update for our players. Based on current income, we expect to have Falkarma working on the next update to be released in May so he can finish the new region of Arkubel and possibly open a few other territories.
There is something that is a big worry for us about Therian Saga. We are stretching our luck by continuing to use the same technological engine (Silverlight) as we were 10 years ago. There is a possibility that we wake up one morning and that Microsoft decides to turn the switch off for this technology. And having our first game disappears from the online world, with all the memories linked to it, is just not something we want. In June, Virtys created a checkpoint for the future of this game, and we will explore our available options at that moment.
In Conclusion
As always, this is our planning for the year and we cannot guarantee the plan will work as we thought it would, but it’s an honest plan and we think it could hold on for a year. We locked our schedule for the three Mist Legacy updates and the Therian Saga update. Let's say that if something big happens (yeah, we are also looking for other secret options) this should only mean more cool stuff is coming.
First of all, I want to thank you all for your consistent feedback. Thanks to it, we were able to address and fix reported issues in this hotfix. Please continue to make in-game reports, even if you did not encounter any issues. Any form of feedback and ideas are also greatly appreciated.
