What Are We Working On?

If you haven’t heard yet, we’re currently preparing the game for a rather big move (Steam). We’re in the process of adding the game to steam. Due to this move, we’ve been reworking/upgrading many of our systems (for quite some time now). We’re currently in the process of reworking one of the most important systems in the game, the item system. This system ties into so many others, which is why it has been taking up most of our time. Don’t worry, this new item system if going through very rigorous tests through each stage of its development. Our plan is to release this complete rework on the test server along with the G12 balance changes and the White/Yellow mage balance changes.

Additionally, we have just completed phase 2 of our new launcher! It looks and feels amazing, but there are still some functionality changes that we would like implemented before we release it for public testing/use. For that reason, we’re in the process of starting a 3rd stage of development for the launcher. We don't expect this 3rd stage to take too long, but once that is complete the launcher will go through some additional internal tests before being released.
