- Lantern of Worlds DLC change. - 18 January 2025
Greetings and Salutations, I have decided to make all the DLC for our game Lantern of Worlds : Storybook free. That is, the Art book and the Lore book. With the game, I tried to combine 3 separate games into one package, and while it has been an interesting experiment, it didn't really work out. With the engine I am using, things from one game started to bleed over into another, and it all became rather chaotic and messy. So I think that's it for this game, for now. But I did want to leave you with the free DLC, hopefully you will find something interesting in it. At the moment, I am busy with remaking the story of Layla, into a standalone game, with updated graphics and mechanics. I hope to be able to show something soon! Best regards, Fabian Schurgers
