0.6.0 - Clear Horizons - 2nd Birthday!

Thru'a's Heart Pulses

Act 3 reaches its finale in the game's first ever RAID, a multi-phase boss fight with several unique mechanics. To complement this finale, combat has been reworked, new animations and weapons have been added, and story beats now have accompanying artwork.

2 Years on the Isles!

No new major events, but the Birthday Hats are back if you didn't get them before! I'm just glad to still get to be working on this game 2 years later. Thank you all for playing!

While we're at it, here's an early roadmap for the year ahead. I'm incredibly excited for this next phase, as this is when a lot of systems and story beats will come to a head. You can expect the next two Isles with their starting content, as well as new content across the previous Isles before the next anniversary! However, before the next major content update, I'll be releasing a less exciting but very necessary update that rounds out all the missing/lacking content up to the end of Act 3. This includes expanded side-quests, NPC's being able to give hints and react to the world, the Library finally becoming a place of learning, UI improvements across the board, and more!

Price Increase soon

It's finally time! With the next update, I plan to overhaul the Steam page and finally put out a new trailer that's not absurdly outdated. With this, I think the game is finally in a state where I think it's worth what I plan to be the final price tag.

After this next month or so, the price will be going up to $12.

If you're reading this, you probably already own the game, but spread the word in case you have any friends waiting to pull the trigger! This should be the final price point of the game, as I think the amount of content and quality now matches games of similar prices.

Anywho, here's the Changelog!
