Hey everyone, we’re very excited to bring you some new massive updates! The major news is that we’ve added Mac support, we’re working on native Apple Silicon support but at the moment the game runs great on both Intel and Apple Silicon through Rosetta 2.

Our next piece of news is that we’ve gone through a major engine upgrade to Unreal Engine 4.27 Because of this the game runs better, has improved lighting and helps to support our work to move the game to one persistent level so players in multiplayer can travel wherever they want without worrying about the level the other…

So the Whiplatch will now perform as intended with updated mechanics and UI Alongside the Whiplatch, there have been other improvements like updating the interactive switches found throughout the world and dungeons of Aellion. This brings them more in line with the aesthetics of the other magical elements within the world as well as being clearer to the player their utility.A dull grey means the switch is inactive and cannot be used. Glowing gold means the switch is ready to be used and a blue glow lets the player know it is in use or has been toggled. We hope you enjoy the update, Thank You!
