Devblog: Forging Ahead
Greetings, everyone!
We’re back with another development update as we push forward toward our next major milestone. Over the past two weeks, the team has been hard at work refining gameplay, enhancing systems, and gearing up for some big events. Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to!
Pushing Toward the Next PTR Build
One of our biggest focuses has been preparing the next Public Test Realm (PTR) build. This upcoming version will bring significant improvements based on internal testing and community feedback. Our goal is to ensure a polished experience, addressing key gameplay mechanics and resolving any lingering issues before we push forward.
We’ve been deep in testing, running through quest progression, and ensuring all core systems work as intended. Some of the major areas of focus have been:
Weapon Stats & Attributes: Adjustments have been made to ensure that weapons scale properly with player progression, offering meaningful variety and balance.
Wrist Slot Functionality: Improvements have been implemented to enhance the usability of wrist slots, making interactions more intuitive and reliable.
Crafting & Blacksmithing Refinements: We've been implementing item recipes, ensuring that crafting stations function smoothly, and refining how materials interact with the system.
The Corrupted Trogre Emerges
A terrifying new enemy has been making its way into the world—the Corrupted Trogre. This hulking brute has been twisted by corruption, making it stronger and more menacing than ever before. While we won’t spoil too much, expect a formidable challenge when you encounter it. Visual work and animations are in progress to ensure this creature feels as fearsome as it looks.
Gearing Up for GDC
With the Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2025 fast approaching, we’ve also been busy preparing our materials for the event. We’re putting together some great swag and items to share with attendees. This will be a great opportunity for us to showcase our progress, connect with industry professionals, and continue growing our network.
If you’re attending GDC, keep an eye out for us—we’d love to chat about the game and share some insights into our development process. More details to come!
Looking Ahead
As we move forward, our primary goals remain focused on polishing gameplay, refining balance, and ensuring that every system—from combat to crafting—feels as seamless as possible.
Thank you all for your continued support and enthusiasm. We’re excited to bring you more updates soon!
Until next time, happy adventuring!
