addedMore focus on the characters and their personal storiesSteam post imageBoutymus is a great city, historical place full of romance, thus its lovey-dovey atmosphere helps the core characters to feel eager to share valuable pieces of their personal stories, as well as Azaries can raise their level of affection to unlock unique dialogs and substories. We are aware that this is the favorite part of gameplay for the majority of players, therefore, we will focus on polishing corresponding mechanics and adding more content that allows you to befriend most of the Azaries’ party mates and combat companions. Thus, charming Sillitreya – a promising young journalist from Chime-Kalantre – is getting her very first (and definitely not the last) substory! Azaries will have the opportunity to raise her affection, as well as earn her trust, which will lead to unveiling the mysteries behind her personality and reasons why she joined the party in the first place! Since this substory will feature mechanics similar to Gherstie’s substory, experienced players will have the chance to shape friendship (or antagonism) with Sillitreya to their liking with multiple options to choose from!
changedMore focus on the characters and their personal storiesIn July, we are planning to pay more attention to Ahros, add more content to the Sarantales class-exclusive story, as well as add battlemaster Nandaar’s personal substory! However, Nandaar’s quest will trigger only if you hadn’t quarreled with him before the departure. Nevertheless, if you had a quarrel with your mentor, a series of alternative events will trigger, so be prepared to meet the consequences of your previously made decisions!
changedImproved graphics, art and UISteam post imageBoutymus city updated interface
addedImproved graphics, art and UIIn August, we are planning to concentrate our efforts on revising, improving and tweaking the existing content instead of adding new one. Thus, we will be adding new improved visuals for some scenes, art and UI elements, as well as replacing some SFX/BGM with new, improved HD samples, which should greatly improve the overall gameplay flow and enhance immersion.
changedImproved graphics, art and UIAfter analyzing feedback and suggestions of our community posted on Steam and Discord, we’ve come up to the conclusion that City Map and Global Map interfaces may seem and look oddly uninformative, confusing and sometimes outdates. Thus, we’re decided to fix this issue by totally reworking these elements of the UI, making it more comprehensible, friendlier and more informative. First, we will rework the map UI of the Boutymus city and once it gets properly tested and adjusted, similar changes will be implemented to improve the UI elements of High Circles map, and after that – the Global Map.
