changedFirst things first - I basicly finished the game, the version that most likely will go to full release in a coulpe of weeks is in current beta version steam branch. If some of you want to help me to make the release better - please, try the pre-release version yourself. There's some stuff, I won't go into changelog here and leave it for full release post, but the prestige system with souls is massively expanded. There's some stuff in main game too, but you'll find all of it yourself if you decide to check out pre-release version. Feedback is storngly welcome and there won't be better time to give it then next couple of weeks. Wherever is more compfortable: this thread, steam discussions or discord.
addedSince it's my journey to have my own completion with Skillwood I think that you deserve an ending too. So now Skillwood is completable. It's not easy, base case experience is not about completion, just like my journey wasn't, completion will require some decent amount of prestiges (not unreasonable I hope). But I added a little bonus on the "new game plus", that I spoiled a bit with the post cover.

Anyway. Thanks you for being with me these two years. We (me and you) are in the finish line. Let's do it together. And the ram is still unnamed. We don't want to call it Carlos too, right?

P.S.
