Devlog #1 Immersion into the World of Nocan’s Quest

Nocan the barbarian wasn’t known for his brains. But he could recognize a good pair of breasts just fine. When he saw a statue with an impressive ruby — and equally impressive curves — he did what any hero would do… But you’ll learn more about that soon enough. Today, we want to talk about something else — the world you’ll be entering alongside Nocan.

A World Shaped by Catastrophe

We approached the lore with care, aiming to build a world that feels deliberate, layered, and filled with its own stories and creatures. The world you’ll explore has endured a devastating cataclysm, turning everyday life into a constant struggle for survival. Once, this land held green fields, cities, and roads. Now — scorched Wastelands. The cataclysm reshaped its biomes, climate, and wildlife.

As you progress, you’ll encounter various creatures, each with its own history. The Glossary provides details on their origins, behavior, and traits. And with some unique species, you’ll be able not only to cross blades… but also to engage in something a bit more intimate.

Your journey unfolds across a global map. There, you’ll find: • points of interest • events and additional lore pieces • side activities • unique biomes with their own rules Some regions also feature dedicated mini-maps, combat arenas, and new mechanics.

Tlek’tlan Oasis — a Paradise Governed by Strange Laws

One of the key early-story zones is Tlek’tlan Oasis. It’s a lush green haven in the heart of the desert — a place that, by all natural logic, should have withered long ago. Yet it thrives. They say only the blood magic of the elven high priestesses keeps life flourishing in these humid jungles. The elves guard the borders of the oasis with absolute vigilance — and a poison-tipped arrow awaits anyone who dares to enter uninvited. But even here, there are those willing to take the risk: smugglers sneak out rare plants, magical fruits, and artifacts, later selling them to sorcerers and alchemists for prices that could make even a seasoned barbarian’s jaw drop.

The world awaits — the question is, are you ready?
