0.4.0 New Content Update

With this update, you’ll now be able to face Frahm, the Keel Breaker.

Frahm is both powerful and cunning—so be prepared before you take him on.

In addition, I’ve made improvements to UI visibility and adjusted battle balance.

Frahm, the Keel Breaker

If Frahm had displayed all the massive sea monsters he hunted, he could have built a city as vast as modern-day New York. With his skill in slaying thousands of sea beasts, he played a pivotal role in the War against Madness, later sacrificing himself alongside fellow heroes during the Omega Battle to finally end that nightmare.

Now, twisted by madness and sealed away, he still retains his primal ferocity.

Frahm is, as of this update, the enemy with the widest variety of techniques:

• From a distance, he will either rush straight into your face or throw a harpoon.

• Up close, he’ll kick you away or bite down with crushing jaws.

• And for the first time, you’ll face an opponent that uses an Ultimate Skill.

A deeper strategy will be required—good luck, challengers!

UI Updates Continue

After the last UI update, many praised the improved visibility. However, some felt the information layout was cluttered. Looking back, I agreed—too much information was concentrated in one area.

I carefully studied other games’ in-game UI layouts and, after much analysis, reworked the design to distribute information more clearly.

Along with this, I’ve slightly expanded the field of view to match the new layout.

As always, please share your feedback.

Balance Adjustments

Last update focused heavily on Swordforce skills, but that doesn’t mean other skill types were perfect.
