0.2.5: Development Screenshots 1

Morning!

It's been a week since the release of Update 0.2.4, and work has already started on the next part of the game. I've taken a few screenshots during playtesting that you might like to see.

In Chapter 1, you might remember a certain character who crossed your path twice, saying exactly zero words and dropping so many boxes with "..." that three dots doesn't seem like a word anymore.* "Who is this mysterious knight," you may ask, "and what are his motives?"

Rest assured, those two meetings weren't the last you will see of the Black Knight.


Update 2 opens up a lot of content across Ruphand's shallow water, and Brill will need a way to cross it. But even if she can cross the water, there are threats inherent to traveling south from Evrandel.

If you stopped by Levitt's Landing and talked to the sailors, you may remember them mentioning that piracy is on the rise. In Update 0.2.5, you won't need them to tell you; it'll be plain as day with the black flags of pirate ships billowing over the seas.

Wander too close and the pirates will chase you down like monster groups; the only safety is on land, and even then, they're all too happy to attack if you dawdle on the coastline! Fire and Thunder attacks will help against the pirates.

Thanks to Terozu for the Pirate ship sprite!

*Three dots actually is not a word, so technically, you'd be right.
