First Week Review and Upcoming Content
It’s been an incredible week. We launched to thousands of players, with streamers like Asmongold bringing eyes to the game. For a solo-developed indie MMO, seeing this kind of reception has been surreal. Thank you all for playing, reporting bugs, and being part of this.
What’s Coming
A content update will add a new group dungeon and the first phase of a crafting system inspired by Diablo 2’s Horadric Cube, letting you combine and transform items. This is just the start; more dungeons, more systems, and more endgame are in active development. This was scheduled for January 17th, however due to the scale of launch week, it’s being pushed back several days. Balance changes are ongoing day-to-day and more assets will be replaced.
