Work in Progress Insight:

For the last 2 months, our Weekly Updates were mostly made of bug fixes, Quality of Life improvements, and optimization changes. We’re still following our plan for such tweaks – including further 25 combat improvements – but we also move some of our resources into implementation of features which were promised some time ago:

Fishing – that’s right, we start working on this feature. It means you’ll soon be able to take a sit by the river with a fishing rod and look for the biggest fish out thee!

Group vs Group matchmaking – the first step on the way to implement the planned automated 5v5 tournaments! The first iteration, aimed for next week, will allow you to create a group of at least 2 players and look for another group that you’ll face in a dedicated arena.

See you in battle!

Fixes:
