- Basic Update 9 - 9 October 2023
*Made major adjustments to the player controller which should make navigation easier. When closing menus, the game will automatically put the player back into “Adventure Mode” which should remove some of the clunkiness and make movement and interaction flow easier. If this still feels good after some more testing, I will update NPC dialog to do the same. *More adjustments made to the graphic balancing of the game which should resolve some lag experienced in densely populated locations. *Added more content to the nightmare realm and some of the more difficult zones. *Multiplayer is still in the works, but I decided to rebuild many of the mechanics to make them work better with the third vs first options as well as the other character movement options. There is an Alpha version available but reach out to me on discord if you want to see the progress on the multiplayer side.

- Next Update 6/25/2023 - 2 June 2023
Hello Everyone! The next update is scheduled for 6/25/2023. In this update I am going to be adjusting the brightness for a few scenes as well as improving the optimization. We will also start adding some voices to the characters to give the dialog more life and immersion. I have been working on adding in more trinkets and POIs to the existing zones. There will be some tweaks coming to small animals like the Rat, Chicken, Rabbit and others. My goal will be to allow the player to interact with them in a friendly way, but give the option to make them hostile and attack them. There will still be regular bug fixes released until then if anyone comes across one that needs immediate attention. If there is any content you would like me to focus on please let me know either on here, Discord, Twitter, or Youtube. Thank you! - Kilian
