Next release

Since I didn't manage to do much last week, I have been working again now. I have to go, and will not have time to upload and post, so the next release will be next week. It will be fairly substantial!

release 7.4.7.0b + future releases info

So, another release is out. After the content, I will be writing about what I will try to do to better keep up a more frequent release schedule.

Content
-Added more to the shadow area near the milkbeards
-Added scene in Rei-Long Oak. Boss may be near it ;)

Fixes
-Fixed the event in the area south of Everlight where the player would be thrown into a hard battle from the start of the game. Now only starts at the correct time.
-Fixed several battles that did not remove summoned creatures after battle. (Many more may remain)
-Added more to main quest. (You need to find 3 crystals... Warning, DO NOT get the third crystal. You WILL be stranded in a void, lol.

For more bug info:
-Check the discord bug section for what bugs have been reported if you are interested.
-I know that the random events on the world map end with the player staying in his "wagon" or "ship" form and I will fix soon, promise! For now, change clothes, that should work. (In divine's private room you can change clothes)

Upcoming:
-More fixes will be deployed in upcoming releases. There are many bugs, and some take a long time to fix so I will be adding some fixes to all releases from now on. Please, add all bug reports to the discord bug section. Adding to the blog posts can work, though I don't always get to check back to earlier posts if I didn't get to fix it for the current release. Discord is ultimately the best place to report.
-I realised I have done something wrong for a long time. If you find events where the characters you speak with seem to weirdly not turn towards you, let me know which so I can fix them!

One of the good things about being slow to update is that I get several looks at the game before releasing it, so I have caught plenty of large bugs before releasing. Phew!

Downloads:
MEGA
MediaFire 




Now, most of you may have noticed that the game has been getting some wonky release patterns. Or, that is to say, no real pattern at all. I normally upload after I work on the game or if I find a few moments of free time where I can write down the stuff I need.

THIS IS NOT WORKING!!!! lol

As the unfrequent releases have shown, this isn't working at all. Not anymore, anyway. This is why I will be trying to change things up a bit. Rather than doing my current upload patterns, I will instead use my normal "work time", or at least the beginning of it, to upload the previous week's release. So this is why I am sharing now, as this is when I normally put time into the game. From now on, I will try to keep up this pattern to ensure updates weekly (hopefully). They may be smaller, but it will mean that they will be out more consistently and that major bugs will be addressed quickly.

I will also be doing short release notes, mostly including the content and fixes bits, while waiting for every now and then to add other stuff, like this. I hope this will be better for everyone, you and me.

With that, I will end this week's post! Thank you so much for the continued support! I really appreciate it, and all of the bug reports!

To our patrons, you are amazing and we appreciate it so much!
