Greetings Adventurers!
It’s been a busy week here on the team, and we’ve got some exciting updates to share! From fleshing out new zones to tweaking gameplay mechanics, things are starting to click into place. With another testing phase right around the corner, we’re focused on tightening everything up and making sure the game feels as good as it looks.
Bringing the World to Life
We’re deep into shaping the next zones for players to explore, and it’s been awesome seeing these areas come alive. Key questlines are getting fine-tuned, and we’re packing in more nooks and crannies for you to discover off the beaten path. Side quests are also getting some love, offering more ways to dive into the world and its stories beyond the main plot.
Weapons, Crafting, and Gear Progression
This week, crafting planning took center stage. We’re rolling out the first versions of the crafting stations—which you’ll see in the images we’re sharing—and they’re already adding a lot of flavor to the game. From blacksmithing for upgraded weapons to leatherworking and tailoring, each station is being hammered (or hemmed?) out. Gathering and crafting recipes are in the oven, and we’re making sure that upgrading your gear feels rewarding. Plus, we’ve added some cool new tweaks to gear functionality to give you even more choices in how you play!
Optimizing for Performance and Stability
Our tech team has been burning the midnight oil to hunt down and fix performance hiccups. We’ve been running tons of tests to iron out any lag or bugs—on both the client and server sides. We've made a big discovery on the 'memory cleanup' issue and we're running tests to narrow down the fix. These behind-the-scenes fixes are going to make a big difference in how smooth and stable the game feels.
What’s Next?
With the next round of testing coming up fast, we’re zeroing in on polishing the new content, refining gameplay mechanics, and, of course, squashing those pesky bugs. This next phase will give us more feedback to work with, helping us fine-tune the game even further.
Here’s a look at the latest crafting stations for tailoring, blacksmithing, and leatherworking, each designed to reflect the tools and materials essential to their trade. These detailed workstations bring an extra layer of immersion to the world, showcasing the artistry behind the craft.
It’s amazing watching the world we’ve been building take shape, and every week we get a little closer to delivering something special. Thanks for sticking with us on this journey—we can’t wait to show you what’s next. Stay tuned for more updates!
