Hello everyone!

Thank you for playing Twilight Monk and always providing your valuable feedback!

We've been closely following your feedback and have spent time tweaking the combat feel, adjusting enemy behaviors, and adding a highly requested move for Raziel.

Twilight Monk has now been updated to version 1.4.1, check below for details on the latest patch!

✨ New Features

Raziel's Invincible Dash: You asked for it, and it's here! Raziel now has an invincible dash. Use it to seamlessly slip through enemy attacks and get the upper hand in combat.

🛠️ Tweaks & Balance

Clearer Vision: We dialed back the heavy blue filter in the Mountain Pass (end-game area).
It should be much easier to spot your surroundings and enemies now!
Cave Bat Adjustment: We reduced the Blue Bat's movement speed to make encounters a bit less frustrating to deal with.
Death's Head & DeathPunk: Both of these enemies now perform a quick lunge when entering attack mode, followed by a shorter recovery time before they resume flying. Keep your guard up!

⚔️ Boss Updates

Chutar Adjustments: We've tweaked the Chutar boss fight. His fire beam breath attack will now push you all the way to the left against the boss arena border. Watch your positioning!

🎂 Celebrate 1 Year of Twilight Monk! 50% OFF Sale! 🎂

Can you believe it? March 27th marks the 1st Anniversary of the release of Twilight Monk! 🥳 To celebrate this massive milestone and to say a HUGE thank you to our amazing community for your incredible support, we are hosting an epic 50% OFF Anniversary Sale!

Tokyo Game Show Highlights and all New Characters!

a_princesteam_community_announcements

Reflecting on Tokyo Game Show

Since this month we’re working on the final chapters of the game, to avoid potential spoilers we’d like to take this opportunity to highlight the Twilight Monk exhibit at Tokyo Game Show instead! This was the first time a full portion of the final game was made available for the public to enjoy, so the pressure was on. The whole team worked extra hard playtesting, adjusting game balance, and getting localization to a presentable state in time for the show. In the previous demo the player would start right away in the Catacombs without any context leading up or overworld exploration, it was really intended to show the base concepts of the game. This time the ENTIRE first chapter was playable, including the full overworld, many NPC to meet, and 4 dungeons total! The overall volume was enough for a full 30+ minute playthrough but guests were invited to play as much as they could within 15 minutes. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/3f8ff71dbcbbdb041db8a57d88866288fd08f606.gif Whereas before there was only 1 minor dungeon and 1 major dungeon to explore, the TGS version included 4 total dungeons: 3 minor (Dojo Path, Hidden Cove, Rotting Burg) and 1 major (The Catacombs). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/cbaf18ac9c88830637d2605ee22cebd657fdc9d3.png Overall we were happy to see so many Japanese fans show up to play. The response was overall very positive, with many visitors stopping with curiosity to stare deeply at the poster visuals. Those who decided to play ended up playing right up until the timer went off. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/d68c7fdc31dc570b1b01c58b38c341a9d641b235.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/184bedd248a40964cc996ccdab2d99aeb6140fe4.jpg Twilight Monk being a game taking a lot of its influence from East Asian culture, we were excited to receive the feedback and reviews from those who played at TGS. We prepared mousepads and keyrings and distributed them to anyone who played. By the end of the event we had distributed all 130 of the mousepads that we prepared in addition to all the keyholders. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/1b7676c7071a93b633c38b17f7be11fda9a2ef04.jpg Overall it was a great event! Now we’re currently preparing for our next exhibit at “Tokyo Game Dungeon 6,” an event held regularly in Tokyo specifically for Indies! We’ve prepared some new goods for the occasion: a set of clear plastic bookmarks that look really cool! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/275aa9217b76bebeba3a1a106d1cf19f78642f9c.jpg These will also be available as an event-exclusive item for anyone who stops by to play!

New Enemies and Characters

On the development side, we’ve been going back and adding an extra layer of richness to the adventure through new enemy types. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/6f99bc828cb1e2798aeb938ccb1fd1fd81e9d3ad.jpg The giant muscular carrot is one of Trent’s (Director of Aquatic Moon) personal favorites. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/945b1fb193e012f436b4f2698440de91b0282ac5.gif Noodles the giant ethereal cat is an NPC that sometimes appears in Crescent Isle and has now been added to all chapters of the game so far. Very cute, very obstructive… {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/dba392281b151b022fe232952af92b4113b10d61.jpg Additionally some new artwork has been added to flesh out previous locations. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/a81ab7fb802d23f0c64f825364dc20dc29151180.jpg The world of Twilight Monk becomes deeper with every polishing pass, we are constantly playing through and looking for what small details could make the world feel more alive and the gameplay feel more rewarding. For now we’ll keep making headway on the final chapter of the game, and once that’s wrapped up the whole team will take an additional pass for even more polishing and play testing. We hope you’ll check back in for the next edition!

To the Floating Islands of Japengo: Developer’s Log Vol. 7

a_princesteam_community_announcements

☯Hello everyone!😈 Welcome to the Official Twilight Monk Team Development Log. Follow along and get an exclusive look at the Kung-fu fantasy metroidvania game releasing in 2025! If you’re interested to see more exclusive gameplay videos and screenshots, don’t miss out on the action on our official X page! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/77f4ca2d1a67c4a7fe991204b000b27f976dad63.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/b53fa50deca2ee9edd5c78cec7776a5cd394aa9a.jpg This past month the team has moved onto the refining phase for Chapter 5. User experience and battle adjustments have continued on since the previous month as well. Here’s an overview of adjustments that have been made.

Progress on Chapter 5: The Japengo Islands

Chapter 5 will feature the Japengo Islands, a series of floating islands with an exploration expedition into the Cannonballers hideout. With flying being necessary to travel through this region, we added some flying encounters into the overworld. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/d056e41fb8a7f8a1a80a6d20edb2c8894beedf3b.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/bc1c95b11bfecf05b1051ee1c3c37ec67b6199d3.png We were really trying to capture the feeling of the hideout being a bonafide secret base and incorporated some iconic locations with obstacle gimmicks, such as a kitchen with burning pots that spit fireballs, and a bathroom flooded with water. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/0746c751b360775412d2a79ce2f7da3604783d90.png Out of any of the dungeons so far we designed this particular dungeon to have the most diverging paths so players could have more freedom in what order and how they explore the dungeon, ultimately designed around opening a series of vault gates to progress deeper in the dungeon. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/3114e3721f3815d86102cc441427ff84af82dae6.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/eb1b8842c42f7513f651a81c21acee9bda5402e0.png

User Experience Adjustments

The team have made some adjustments to the user experience this round, including a modified title screen. We wanted it to be a bit more slick and moody, the animated snowfall accompanied by the main theme instrumental really captured this well! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/3662d25669cd3d5ecd664c4e9d88c3875afdec11.gif New NPCs were added across the main hub of Crescent Isle that give hints and reminders to encourage the player to check back in Crescent Isle to turn in Hunts, get info on the quest, earn money at the arcade, or buy BBQ boost. One example is Nora, she’ll be a character you can encounter in town. Be sure to check back in with her now and then, you might be surprised by what new information she has for you. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/3a72ea1e60e8cf1d7faf1259bad9d93558eeefc5.png Two new NPCs Ketchoope and Moostarde were added for the new region. They’re a pair of adventurers constantly taking jabs at each other, a bit of a knuckle-head duo type. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/a9fd131c8875da4e4ce2508c2d0c2254bea966c1.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/6a8a036447a8e9b4ef396cc12516cd7d2f55709d.png We’re happy to announce there are now 28 Talismans throughout the entire game. Talismans will help improve your characters abilities but also affect your general gameplay. We really hope this will give you all a richer playthrough experience and a playthrough that feels personal to you. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/492a4647bcc8ace75dba23b72ba51c0dd717ce66.png

Gameplay Adjustments

Adjustments to the “feel” of battle are being handled by a dedicated member of our team now. So we are really trying to hone in on subtle elements of speed, timing, and effects to make battle feel satisfying. For example, now the pillar attack bounces off of walls when the player is too close. The screen shakes when deflecting off of walls, and there are bigger impact slashes when the player hits an enemy, which gives an overall heavier weight to every strike and every hit. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/b24f4ec6816a996c86c37aaf56552e7c8110d9fe.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/0cad75111d9698450a49a623668c8b75bcc166db.gif After a few more finalizing touches, we’ll call it a wrap for Chapter 5 and move onto Chapter 6 this coming month. Look forward to all the updates and sneak previews in the upcoming dev log!

Completion of The Dark Forest & Giant’s Crown: Developer’s Log Vol. 6

☯Hello everyone!😈 Welcome to the Official Twilight Monk Team Development Log. Follow along and get an exclusive look at the Kung-fu fantasy metroidvania game releasing in 2025! If you’re interested to see more exclusive gameplay videos and screenshots, don’t miss out on the action on our official X page! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/0e14b1536e35f65000fce2ee45c66dba9be243ff.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/fae3c3fa9813d0a4077431ced341f2291f707cf7.gif This past month the team has been continuing work on Chapter 4 locations the Dark Forest and Giant’s Crown. At this stage they’ve both been finalized and we’re ready to move onto the next region/chapters! Here’s an overview of adjustments that have been made.

User Experience Adjustments

Several adjustments to the UI were made this time around including the display of NPC portraits. All NPC portraits have been moved to be along the bottom of the screen with larger images. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/e6a2458386eece33eaca1a5a53993e2b08b72ad8.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/8cba0de3da5d228bbe747c4cb20f934f6bcd86b1.png Though it may appear to be a small change, this was a huge undertaking as there are already so many NPCs scripted into the game, so ALL of them had to be reworked... But with this change you can really appreciate the level of detail put into each character portrait which makes it all worthwhile. Additionally, we added a section for talismans to the inventory, these will be used for additional skills and enhancements during your playthrough. We finalized some key animated sequences as well, including this particular encounter with a certain forest spirit… maybe if you were paying attention in the previous dev log you’ll know who this is! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/8e2ded580e27291b5de0d3d42406b043d3802ac9.jpg The boss battle at Giant’s Crown has been visually finalized, too. We don’t want to spoil too much, but here’s a screenshot of the boss battle with the Sky Pirate gang’s leader, Pepperoni… {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/77f34fa47257ae902c75091f804e38f08551df3f.jpg It'll be very hectic, and we played on the fact that as a Cannonballer, she can literally turn into a cannonball, so naturally… we added some pinball mechanics! This battle definitely has the most components so far.

Gameplay Adjustments

Tons of playtesting amongst the team has led to a lot of minor improvements in level design and fine-tuning of enemy difficulty. As you play we don’t want beating enemies to become mundane, so we made a lot of adjustments so the enemies’ skills and difficulty level are adjusted to all the new skills you collect as you progress through the game. From here on, the entire team is focused on Chapter 5 content for the month of August (the southern Islands of Japengo). Stay tuned for the upcoming Dev Log at the end of next month!

This should be exciting for fans of the books as they can see two iconic locations brought to life!

The Darkroot Forest

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/8ad1330aaef6234874377c55d8d852b7a00b4bef.jpg Though last time we accessed the Jabah Dooba desert via boat, this time around Raziel will have to ride the very spooky ghost train to reach his destination… {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/af8872e35c52b387faf28ee68bc47d3020e6909e.jpg We wanted the conductor to be a little comical, with some cheesy Halloween style jokes in his back pocket. Stylistically, this has to be one of the team’s favorite dungeons so far! It took a lot of inspiration from games like Legend of Zelda which always have some sort of “lost forest”. You’ll find yourself a bit lost at times as this dungeon is particularly maze-like. Here’s a look at the result of polishing this time around. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/e9d463bd7203567e37b0d69e2b0febd0470337d4.gif The overworld area received a rework to have a richer purple tone, as well as a strong light emanating from the entrance to the Dark Forest so it’s a little bit easier to know where to go. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/bb5c1a2b2a495d4989029d5bcc3690d70cec2d33.gif Many areas that were still in a preliminary state have been finalized with atmosphere and detail. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/ad86816476426b73acf47676794db288e397ea2e.gif Refinement of new mechanics in this dungeon, as you can see there is a fireball that gets released when you’ve used the Phantom Pillar to activate it. You can kick it around and burn vine walls that block your way! The color scheme has been adjusted quite a bit to be a little darker and moodier, and effects and details have all been added in at this stage. More NPC portraits this time around, including our cute little friend Amiku! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/974116fbc3b04dac854f31b17d0ecc6d8445fb10.gif

Giant’s Crown

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/bd3be56428b38d11b76675678a138684d41cb253.jpg Giant’s crown is a city overrun by the “Cannon Ballers”, a group of Sky Pirates at war with the residents seeking to defend their territory - the “Blokes”. We’ve put a lot of special attention into designing diverging paths for the player to explore. You’ll be navigating the dungeon and restoring power to various sections to activate elevators and contraptions. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/36e7204686c7c826518542c820261546f4884692.jpg Some more underwater chasms that connect to old mining areas as well! We tried to create lots of optional paths within this dungeon so we hope when you play you’ll enjoy going back and discovering all the secrets. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/8077c3dad5f9de8fa027317a50dc482ee60e1a1c.gif

Additional Content

Besides these two locations, we’ve added in some new content including these cute little guys, Bojo Birds! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/8b84bb7575a2ac19fd149e7371dab46506aaca8c.gif They will be collectible throughout your adventures in Speria, so see if you can manage to collect them all! To find out where they’re hiding, leave it to the “papa Bojos” who will show you the way to their locations. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/973f26c2a4efe30b9a3635833bae8389b16aa6a8.gif Plus a few new enemies, such as these cauldron enemies which suck the life force out of Raz until he’s able to successfully destroy 5 of them. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/531a062d6fc5bf24ae9d1e4e57da18991d5c1767.gif We hope there’s something among the new content that piques your interest!

☯Hello everyone!😈 Welcome to the Official Twilight Monk Team Development Log. Follow along and get an exclusive look at the Kung-fu fantasy metroidvania game releasing in 2025! If you’re interested to see more exclusive gameplay videos and screenshots, don’t miss out on the action on our official Twilight Monk X page! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/971dc631d0279af0dbb05cd6d03b11f617dedc4c.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/b947b722bd4c3c97b7ae54af370c6cdcd8c42f95.jpg This time around, we’ll be diving into the third chapter…

The Jabah Dooba Desert

Raziel makes his way to the Western continent via a new form of overworld travel: ship🚢 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/6d3c978b77efd113a034224d40680555813553b5.jpg This being our largest overworld, we put special attention into making the environment as rich as possible. So we spent quite a bit of time updating the overworld from its earlier build. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/2fd58a8ad92c3ecaff5c8bc4df02656268454aa2.gif As you can see, pretty significant improvements have been made. Besides the UI improvements, assets such as the swaying trees have been added, and overall contrast and brightness has been enhanced. We also went in and finalized portions of the dungeon that were still left in a preliminary state. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/08e6bc2dc0e3f8716eb52d18c17a2702cf55d408.gif More NPC’s have been added to this round of polishing with dialogues that will change based on how far you’ve progressed in the main quests. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/9c04d69c6a2f03165a55d4409709eaab8241fc57.jpg Lastly, we finalized the underwater system! This will be an interesting contrast to the usual combat you do on land since you won’t be able to use your Phantom Pillar weapon. The ruins in the desert will have a combination of sand filled dungeons as well as underwater chasms to dive into to access different areas. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/1b7b9dde7bf730c64130aaaf9b22f7ed4c4ac71c.jpg These underwater levels will of course come with new enemy types as well. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/40111d07d2cec7311723a179968a5a2f758a6606.gif Progress is going smoothly and we’re moving right along into the polishing phase for Chapter 4. Look forward to details on the next continent in the upcoming Developer’s Log! The only other news to report for now is that more progress has been made on the Switch port of the game, things are going well for now with steady progress. To commemorate the fourth Development Log, don’t miss the new concept art added in the “Artworks” section; it's an early concept for the town in Jabah Dooba desert. We hope all these new images are igniting your imaginations and painting a picture of how expansive the world of Twilight Monk is! Thank you always for following along and we’re looking forward to sharing more progress and sneak peaks in the next update.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/40d79340e6a913921f939548b18fc01d8f33cf48.png ☯Hello everyone!😈 Welcome to the Official Twilight Monk Team Development Log! Follow along monthly and get an exclusive look at development progress for the Kung-Fu fantasy releasing in 2025! This time around, we’ll be diving into the second chapter of our epic journey…

The Mountain Pass and Sky Fortress

This month’s focus was polishing story and game elements for Chapter 2, which explores Raz’s journey into the Northern continent of Speria, an unforgivingly cold and frozen mountainous region. Unlike in Chapter 1 where we were exploring deep underground chambers, now we are ascending high into the sky. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/7f535384703f20e0dd0aeeec2c19e65d77cc4cbd.gif As you can see we used a different color scheme to express the cold environment, unlike the predominantly green tones used for the previous chapter. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/a36733164943dd59af156496d2059d92a8cd7211.jpg Though Raz is warned of the dangers ahead by elevator operator Grim, he insists on entering the mountain and takes the elevator up. Just as Grim had warned, the way is littered with dangers including Razor Fang, a hunter of Moonken such as Raz, convinced that all Moonken are bound to succumb to darkness. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/0be1e6b6a09d38098485d5cd0d5fd59d6cacdb1b.gif To climb higher through the dungeon you’ll be needing to ride all sorts of elevators, platforms, and contraptions. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/543730e553e27a27b371776cb28a107af6ed531e.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/072a8ec1cd42c56bad7d5d0bf0e2aae1317b6680.gif Raz will continue his ascent until he reaches the very top of the Sky Fortress. What mysteries lie ahead and what treasures are waiting to be discovered…?

New Features Implemented

BBQ The difficulty level will crank up this time around, so be sure to eat some BBQ to receive buffs during your next outing {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/f7cb50c88e9fb638421557ff5aca109073e90198.jpg Double-boss encounter fights Chapter 2 will include the first double boss encounter, get ready for an added layer of difficulty Mini-maps The dungeons will become increasingly complex, make sure to check the mini map so you don’t lose your way! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/67f7e99cbb9e0303b4f0f7eaa39bf0997596b7fd.jpg Game-plus difficulty mode Upon completion of the game you’ll be able to unlock an extra difficult version to replay and challenge yourself! Be sure to follow along all socials and wishlist to keep up to date on developments!

828d ago

☯Hello everyone!😈 Welcome to the Official Twilight Monk Team Development Log! Follow along monthly and get an exclusive look at development progress for the Kung-Fu fantasy releasing in 2025! April marks the finalization of all Chapter 1 content, which is a HUGE milestone for the whole team! The full main story of Chapter 1 is now completely playable, boss fights, cut scenes, features, and all! So how about we take a look at some of what’s in store? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/ce1265ca125595ea792fd1bf510604197764a211.gif All the key battles have been implemented, here we’ve got a little preview of Raz’s battle with the “Lazy Swordsmen”, Jubee hired them to lend a helping hand but actually they seem to have other plans... Important cutscenes have also been finalized, here we have a key moment in the adventures of Chapter 1 involving a bell hanging in the Rotting Burg? It’s just begging for a good STRIKE, in’t it…? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/b1cfa4af368151ddcaf17139fe1b2a12face13c4.gif Don’t be too rough or it might fall, surely something that heavy would break right through the floor… Let’s just say interacting with certain objects will be key to opening up the map and discovering new areas 😉

New Features Implemented:

The Teleportation Tree:

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/067a1f8ae04e14923693521244f37790bb7c9b96.gif Used to easily warp between areas you’ve explored before.

The Monster Book:

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/4a47291cd08664f0f491824a792c1c4795d4aeed.gif Admire the designs and read on the lore of each baddie you’ve taken down, of course important stats are also detailed in each entry.

Hunts:

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/5c912ca3c28988550d3a092f6e345d263e055cb8.jpg Discover new monsters and take them down to complete hunt missions! Report your progress to Master Yibatta to collect special rewards and upgrades! Besides all this here’s a report of other things we’ve been working on:

Added multi language support function for 12 languages! (Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Russian, Italian, Japanese, Simplified/Traditional Chinese, and Korean!)
Finalizing entire game script to prepare for translation
Nintendo porting is in progress!
New music tracks for Chapter 2
A TON of animation for the final chapters
Enemy behaviors adjusted for different in-game scenarios
A lot of playtesting, bug fixes
Tutorial menus added at key points to introduce game features
Character NPC portraits updated

Interesting fun fact about production: half our team is actually in the UK! Thanks to the time difference it’s a significant amount of extra hours of progress while our team in the States calls in for the day. We hope you’re as excited as we are with the progress so far. More updates and refinement to come. This is just the first of 6 chapters! As an extra treat to commemorate the second Development Log update, take a look at the new concept artwork of the Gazer Rider boss added in the “Artworks” section! https://steamcommunity.com/app/1911940/images/ Until the next one.

Developer's Log: Volume 1

☯Hello everyone!😈 Welcome to the Twilight Monk Team’s first Community Update! Follow along monthly and get an exclusive, detailed look at development progress on the upcoming Kung-Fu fantasy releasing in 2025! March has been a busy month, we’ve been working hard on development for the past year and are finally arriving at a point where the team can work back from the beginning and polish content. It’s all getting to a point where we are ready to share longer-length video clips, so stay up to date as we’ll be sharing all this and more in future community updates! This month we’ve achieved most of our goals for polishing Chapter 1, which focuses on Central Speria and Crescent Isle. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/a506702399ab38946cdd0ecee6f4ee53d0ca8183.jpg Pictured above is Crescent Isle, the main hub in the game that you’ll be returning to throughout your journey. As you progress in the game, more townsfolk will move in and shops will open up, too! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/c859abfb143f5242d675dda488bcf50b2d542275.jpg Stop by Bighead’s shop to pick up essential items. The major dungeons will be the Dojo Path and the Catacombs, an area that lies beneath the Rotting Burg. Dojo Path: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/598633c36be49befa8b86a330e6e013985c24381.jpg As you can see we are utilizing weather elements to create a different mood for this dungeon, something we’ll be playing with in future dungeons as well. Rotting Burg: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/9a2ff7cf66b798e3ca5b52c347e75014b760981a.png Rather than rain, in the RottingBurg we have a misty fog hanging low to the ground. In the distance you can make out remnants of the crumbling city, too. The Catacombs: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42065721/6e6d3bf987efad9f6ca7c77cf46d1782bf78d5db.jpg Littered with undead, traps, and even illusory walls - there’s as much to discover in this dungeon as there is danger. We’ve got other items that are not quite ready to show, but here’s what we’ve been making headway with this month!

Refining of the in-game monster book
Opening cutscene (complete!), other cutscenes in development
Polishing of boss fights
Teleporting function between dungeons via the “Teleportation Tree”
BBQ in the main hub (!?)
More fog and weather effects (this has dramatically improved the mood of each environment!)
Enhanced animation of NPCs and dialog scenes for more immersive gameplay
Details to the UI of the world map for easier playability
