Behind the Scenes – Tools, Testing & Trailer Work

This sprint was light on in-game features but important for workflow and visibility. We finalized a draft of the next trailer, prepped recording tools, and laid the groundwork for major content coming next.

Trailer Structure – First Draft Complete

We outlined the core beats for the new trailer and completed the first draft - now in Richi’s genius hands for a custom music track.

  • Initial trailer created

  • Key gameplay and narrative moments chosen

  • Final trailer draft #1 sent out for scoring

New Weapon! – Sword & Shield Added

We introduced a new mid-game equipment set - sword and shield - that emphasizes some defensive versatility and opens up unique risk reward playstyles. Fully Implemented:

  • Sword & shield created, equipped, and battle-tested

  • Upgrade path tested and confirmed

  • Granted through main story quest

Bug Fixes – Major Issues Resolved

This round also included fixes for all game-breaking bugs reported during our first playtest cycle-clearing the way for smoother upcoming builds.

Next Devlogs: Content Droping! – Act 3, Side Stories, and More

The next updates will be focused around new content. Expect new areas, character stories, and deeper combat mechanics.

Somethings I'm focusing on for the upcoming Devlogs:

  • Act 3 Progress

  • Side Character Stories

  • Combat Improvements

  • Expanded food/elixir systems and new hunt mechanics

  • Act 1 Polish – Remaining cutscene cleanups

  • More Items & Recipes – Late-game economy expansion begins

Thanks for bearing with us during this brief pause - we’re back in full swing next update!
