For Release Candidate 0.1.33
Greetings to all you Necromantics. We applaud your patience for all those who’ve been with us since our Early Access launch, and of course welcome to all our new Necromantics! Blinkmoon Games is extremely grateful to our supporters and celebrate our first major update since late May! Many of our fans (as well as ourselves of course!) have been wanting to venture more into the romance side of Necromantic. We’ve been keen to open up our world, characters and lore to our audience, and this major update gives us an excellent opportunity to do so! At its heart ❤️ (see what I did there), Necromantic is an action first game, so any game mechanic will naturally lean heavily into that, and the romance elements are no exception. This is our first implementation of the feature, and we strive to react and adjust it depending upon your feedback, and our team's capabilities.
UPDATES

HOW DOES THE ROMANCE FEATURE WORK?
In the Romance Feature update, we covered what the feature is all about. To refresh on the romance loop:
Find Gift Crates when in combat and collect the gifts contained within
Give gifts to viable NPCs in the courtyard
Fill a relationship meter between the character you are using and that NPC
Fill the meter to marked thresholds to unlock an improved relationship with the NPC
Their dialogue towards your character improves
That NPC will come to that character’s aid in combat!
Continue giving gifts to fill the relationship meter to the next threshold, and the NPC becomes more powerful when they appear.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT
Thank you very much for the ongoing support and continued feedback. Please keep it coming via Steam and Discord. We look forward to tuning and tweaking your experience at Valorborn, and wish you every success in keeping the ever growing hordes at bay.
