changedMany areas of development have advanced over the past months. First, we are populating the world with small side quests to reward exploration. Here is a live recording Amy Saville, the voice of Kalyskah, did for one of these quests:
addedWe are also working on new outfits. The first one is for one of the main NPCs you will encounter, Amara: Steam post image
changedAdvancing on other areas, we've been sketching the attire for peasants. The game is split into two eras. In the first, you will find Kalyskah at the height of her power. Only after that comes the timeline of the current demo. We want each era to feel distinct, with the prologue leaning more into a steampunk level of technology, while the second era keeps a more traditional medieval feel with magipunk elements. This is the first concept we created for the prologue peasants: Steam post image
addedOn the audio side, we have added new songs to the game. First, Archie Benton start by the Main Theme:

These concepts were made by Cláudio Henrique.

On the audio side, we have added new songs to the game. First, Archie Benton start by the Main Theme:

Then he moved to work on the themes for other areas, such as a new theme for the Garden of Earthly Delights:

When will the demo be updated?

We have been focusing solely on creating more content for the early access, and even though most of the issues we have on the demo have been fixed on our end, there are a few loose ends that will require us to finish developing other areas before we can update the demo here. So we don’t have an ETA, although it will happen before the Early Access begins.
