- Further Plan - 21 May 2024
Hi Friends, It's been a long time since the last update of the game, but for those who have stuck around with me since 2019, you know that this is pretty usual for the game. To keep it short, I finally made the decision to cancel the project as I am not able to finish it. It was a fun ride; I spent thousands of hours developing the game hand-in-hand with your feedback. But as many of you know, I'm a single independent developer with limited time. I've learned so many things on my journey developing the game. I also noticed that I massively underestimated the effort it takes to build a full-grown 3D MMORPG. For years, I've been thinking about building new, smaller games that I can actually complete. And now the time has come for me to move on in my journey as a game developer, next time with a project that I can complete. During the next few weeks, the game will be removed from Steam as…
- Update v0.333 - 22 December 2023
Hi folks, this week multiple smaller patches got released: Removed enemy level scaling. Removed the attack indicators for normal enemies. Removed dodging, sprinting, and stamina (none of them has really added anything to the game). Adjusted the general combat experience to achieve a simpler yet better-fitting fight. Improved the UI. Fixed a bug where pets did not spawn or did not move. Fixed an inventory bug where the secondary weapon did override another secondary weapon. Improved player spawn location on every map. Improved amount of enemies and spawn locations of every map. Got any feedback or ideas? Share them at Discord: https://discord.gg/R4qaJ3QC Instead of building a deep combat experience, you wished for a simple grinding experience with focus on progression. Let's build that together :-) Happy slaying!
- Update: Gemstones - 9 July 2023
Hi folks, many of you have already noticed that the well known youtuber Josh Strife Hayes did create an awesome review about Slay Together. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iz2bi67A8kk My todo list is incredibe long now and the first results got patched today: Enemies no longer drop any equipment (only mats) You don't need to buy water to craft linen anymore The gathering minigame got changed. If you fail the game you will get one instance of the material, if you win it, you will get three instances The small right-click "delete" window got removed The Crafting ui now shows how many items of a specific recipe you can craft. In addition you can now also click on recipes out of your level range to see the actual item you could craft later on When switching weapons the combo now gets fully reset There is an entire new system too. The gemstone system: All enemies now d…
- Update: Passive Skills - 20 June 2023
Hi folks, a new patch is out that contains the brand new passive skill system. Each level grants you two passive skill points. Open the skill tree and assign your unused passive skill points now ⚔️ Have fun!
- Update: Social - 16 June 2023
Hi folks, I just released a patch that improves the overall team play experience. 1. Enemies that are lower than your character level are now getting scaled up to fit your character level (happens for every player in a group individually too). That means that you can now bring your friends and even if you are level 40 you can still team up and play together while all group players will get a similiar combat-difficulty. 2. You can party with everyone and both of you will get drops and experience points (no matter what level difference) I've also worked on smoothing the combat (still working on it) :-) Have fun!
- Update: Combat 2.0 - 11 June 2023
Hi folks, During the last two weeks, I have reworked the entire core-combat system to make the game more exciting. This new system allows us to add even more advanced combat mechanisms in the near future. I aimed to achieve a more intense combat experience with a focus on personal skill (dodging, blocking, timing etc.). Here is what has been patched: Reworked entire AI Each enemy has slightly different behavior (allowing us to create more dynamic and unique combats) Enemies switch targets (when in a group) You can focus on an enemy using or the scroll wheel button Enemies display an attack indicator Press to dodge (costs 25 stamina) Press RMB to block (only when a shield is attached, costs 15 stamina) There is no longer any passive health regeneration Potions now have a 30-second cooldown You can no longer move while taking a potion Reduced enemy numbers on maps They say images/videos e…
- Update: Achievement System - 29 May 2023
In this patch two new functionalities got added: 1.) Achievement System. Simply press to open the new achievements window and start completing your first achievements: Hint: More achievements will get added during the next days. 2.) Daily Login Experience Bonus Streak (log in every day to build an exp. bonus). Simply press to open the new events window and learn more: Happy Slaying! Jannick
- Update: Leaderboard System - 24 May 2023
Hi folks, a new patch is out: The new ranking system is now live! It's no longer based on level but on activity points instead 🙂 The leaderboard resets every month so that only active players can become the current MVPs. Press to open the leaderboard/ranking window: Complete activities (defeating enemies, crafting items etc.) to collect activity points. Activity points (AP) calculation: kill enemy = enemy level/4 as AP kill elite = enemy level/2 as AP kill boss = enemy level as AP Enemies only grant AP when your weapon level is +-10 level to the enemies level Other activities that grant AP: gather material = 5 AP craft material = 5 AP craft item = Item Level as AP finish daily quest = 100 AP Those calculations may change over time for sure. Rank 1, 2, 3 get a badge right next to their name (both in 3d world and ui window) 🙂 Let me know what you think in Discord: https://discord.gg/AN…
- v0.30 Teleport - 29 April 2023
Hi folks, a new patch just got released :-) Here is what got patched: You now unlock a fast-teleport point (obelisk) when visiting a location (level) for the first time. You can then simply open the map and click on the obelisk you want to teleport to. now closes all open windows but does not show the options window (quality of life) Players now have a 5 second target-cooldown after teleport or resurrection to prevent spawn kills Have fun! :-)
- v0.29 Quality of life - 23 April 2023
Hi a new patch is out: Patch notes Added a toggle to turn on/off your headdress (hat, helmet etc.) Improved teleporting from map to fix the freezing bug (let me know if it still occurs for someone) Increased chat message size from 100 characters to 250 Chat automatically fades out after some inactivity. It fades in when someone writes a message or you start writing a new one. Have fun :-)
- Bow Overhaul - 16 April 2023
In this patch the entire bow-fighting system got reworked: ranged weapons now have an indicator (like a crosshair that shows if an enemy will get hit) bows now have real arrows bows now have an animated bow string new bow idle + attack animation some new bow models In total it's a nice polish for every player that likes to use a range weapon (especially bow). Enjoy :)
- Update: Crafting - 9 April 2023
Dear players, A new patch has just been released that adds a new layer of depth to the game: Crafting. You are now able to: Collect materials from enemies and other resources such as ores, plants, etc. Turn raw materials into processed ones at the smithy, workbench and tailoring station Craft weapons, jewelry, and armor The drop rates of equipment have been significantly reduced, and soon the crafting system may become the only way to obtain gear. Please be aware that some minor bugs may appear, and the system may not be perfectly balanced. Share your feedback and thoughts in Discord to help improve this brand new crafting system.
- Update 10. January - Daily Quests - 10 January 2022
Hi folks, I patched the game: - added daily quest system (read below) - adjusted horses (all horses have same stats to remove some p2w flair) - new pet movement system - changed user interface (added globes for life/stamina and added a small window next to the actionbar that shows all important stats and currency amounts) - added otc as reward for daily quest (read below) DAILY QUESTS Every day a new daily quests gets calculated from the server (and gets shared with every player).

As a reward you get gold (random between 100k and 200k) and otc (random between 15 and 30). The quest can be completed ONCE a day. You can only see the quest AFTER completing the "main" quest line. A daily quest is inticated by a red sign instead of an orange one. Let me hear what you thi…
- Update 5. January 2021 - Shields - 5 January 2022
Hi folks, this time I added another highly request feature: Shields can only be worn in combination with a one-handed weapon (like sword) there are 4 shield items right now (lv. 10, 20, 30 and 40) there is no boar-dungeon-shield (to prevent sword-slayers to get too op) shields get 1.5x more armour then other clothing items shields are not selled by vendors Other fixes replaced some objects added lv. 15 weapons to bandits fix a bug where you were not able to drop "rare (blue)" items Greets, Jannick
- Update 3. January 2021 - New Weapon Class - 3 January 2022
Ladies and gentleman, it has been requested a million times and now I can finally present you the.... Magician I added a brand new weapon class called Staff. I will not say much more :-) Just try it out! Other fixes - New aiming for bow and staff (one enemy gets hit but no crosshair targeting) - Fixed empty dungeon - 20 slots more inventory (your chest items are now in your inventory - you can store them back in your chest) - during a fight you are not able to change equipment or action bar - experience and damage calculations are now based on weapon level instead of character level Greets, - Jannick
- Update 28. December 2021 - New Character System - 28 December 2021
Hi folks, first of all let me say that you will NOT lose any character progress! New character editor I was very limited in terms of clothing and animations with the current two players models. So I decided to get that massive rock out my way and use a tool for character creation instead. This allows me to get equipment and animations way more easy! It also brings some nice additions for us: Morphing (Bodyheight, Weight, Muscles, Nose etc.) Hair styles Hair and Eye Color Smaller adjustments Characters have eye movement Exisiting equipment got new styles and icons Removed hats (will be replaced with new items soon) Added resolution, quality and fullscreen settings Notes I also increased the game engines version to the lastet version so some shader issues could appear (please tell me if and where an issue occures). Due to the changes some animation may look a bit weird. Right now I'm work…
- Update 28. April 2021 - Bow Overhaul - 28 April 2021
Hi folks, it was time to change the combat feeling of the bow. So here are the changes: you now have a crosshair for aiming (turns from white to red when enemy is hovered) you are able to shoot from a way bigger distance visual effect (arrow trail) bows are no longer dealing aoe damage (they are single target from now on). In future there might be some AOE skills This is a good step into a more action combat-ish feel for ranged weapons and magical attacks. I also adjusted minor things: fixed inventory bug new hammer attack animation improved network traffic to reduce other player lags fixed an issue where enemies did not attack the player Happy Slaying :) - Jannick
- Update 20. April 2021 - New hat system and balancing - 20 April 2021

For sure there is new stuff again, so here's what got patched: New Stuff hats are now part of the equipment (you can drop them from enemies at a low rate of 1%) please notice that hats are still only comestic and do not get any stats (no armor) you can now drop any item in 'legendary' rareness (see chances below) Adjustments fixed an issue where you got the 'party invitation popup' everytime someone close to your player got invited enemies now attack when you are at a position where they cant go (prevent exploit) fixed tree colliders in jungle fixed quest texts changed value of healthpoints per level from 15 -> 20 (you will see an increase of your health) enemies hit a little less harder when under level fixed an issue where enemy attack damage hits…
- Update 16. April 2021: New Content - 16 April 2021
Hi folks, some good changes arrived just for you! :-) Here is what just got patched: new level level caps increased to 45 new enemies new weapons to drop new quests better enemy fight behaviour fixed inventory bug where you where able to pickup more items then you could decreased health added by player level (you will now have less health) longer day-night cycles (3x) uncollected drops disappear after 5 minutes less exp. gained from quests more exp. gained in general loose less exp. when died (based on player level) Please notice then your weapon levels will have gained a boost. This is because of the exp. changes. Your default player level will not be affected. Your weapon level will continue to gain exp when it's the same level as your player level (weapon levels can not gain exp. when the weapon level is higher as the player level). Happy Slaying :-) Jannick
