Hello precious Patreon members!
After another brief 2-month period the next update has arrived! For this release Dungeon 4 has begun, with floor 1 being introduced!
Before talking about the rest of the content, I want to address the combat rework. When looking for a 3rd party to implement it, the initial person I hired took 2-months and presented an extremely disorganized and embarrassing system that seemed more like a joke than an actual system.
(They did not implement what was needed...)
Unfortunately, I had to find a new developer to develop the skill trees, but the good news is I was able to find someone that actually has begun implementing a balanced and more robust combat system. I'm expecting it to finish in the next month or so. So it will 100%, with no doubt, be included in the next release.
For now, I've begun updating the Combat UI to get ready for the new skill tree set-up that will be coming shortly. So you'll see that the UI looks a bit better than it did before. It's not perfect, but I'm happy with how it's coming along so far.
Anyways, moving on, the Movie Magic side-quest was implemented! I'm pretty happy with it and I think it's a more enjoyable experience to more casual players. That along with the longest Dungeon intro yet have been added.
Well, I typed a lot this time so I suppose I'll end it here.
