• Unique Weapons Update - 25 March 2025

  The time has finally come to make Unique weapons more unique. I've also added a few new bows and a potion. Another requested feature is allowing other characters to purchase starting abilities that Lannon has access to. They are pricier, but you get the primary and secondary when purchased. Only one character may have each of these abilities at a time, so there can be no duplication. I've also increased the frequency of Ability points slightly to help with these purchases. And, of course, bug fixes. Enjoy! 3/24/25 +1.7.6.0 + Added 3 new Unique Weapons + Buffed some unique weapons + Each Unique weapon now has a totally unique attribute + Added 2 new bows + Added a new super rare potion type + Starting abilites can now be purchased by other characters, but only one time each by the party + Ability points now come every 6 levels instead of 7 + Changed max damage from 9999 to 999999, becaus…

• Dimas is now available much earlier in the game - 2 March 2024

  I've felt for a while now that Dimas appears too late in the game and players seem to agree. I've now made him available much earlier (in the same dungeon accessible earlier). For those that don't want to go back, or are past this point, he will still be available in the usual place. Both old and new work. 3/02/24 +1.5.2.0 + Dimas appears too late in the game for many players. Now he can be accessed much earlier.

• Some new QoL options and a few minor adjustments - 2 February 2024

  With an influx of iOS players, I'm seeing new styles of play and also encountering new bugs (albeit minor ones). You should now be able to listen to other music sources external to the game.

• Some new additions and a major quest change - 30 December 2023

  Hi everyone! First I want to mention a major change. There was a quest, Silk Road, that is given fairly early but could not be completed until later, and this was confusing a lot of people. I've moved the quest to later in the game. If you already have it. nothing will change. Aside from that, I've made some gold cost changes to Forging and Sharpening, as well as adding some new regular and unique items to shops. I'm trying to address the most pressing concerns from the feedback I regularly get. I will continue making improvements for the foreseeable future. Remember, you can always join the Discord channel and chat with me and others to talk about the game and/or make suggestions or ask for hints. 12/29/23 + 1.2.2.2 + Moved Silk Road quest further into the game to prevent confusion + Added new items that can only be bought from vendors + New Unique items only available in shops + Forgi…

  It's been a bit since I added secrets or items, and I wanted to get some things off of my mind. Hopefully you find these small diversions and rewards worth the while. There are 2 new Unique Items, nestled within secret areas with unique puzzles to surround them. I've also encountered an unusual number of issues lately with odd sized screens and dpis.

I really appreciate all of the help, feedback, and reviews you have shown my game. Honestly, the game's reception and support from fans has all been beyond my wildest expectations. This community is passionate and full of ideas, and it has been a real pleasure interacting with you all. You've been an integral part of new features and QoL improvements.
