Hey everyone! 0.1.07 is now live, and here are some combat and character changes:

Sigvar:

• Starts with only Fang Echo now instead of almost the full suite. There is a chest in the Fenrir Meadows that contains Sword Training Manuals that are needed for his attacks like Rain of Fangs etc. You will also receive the first Wulf tome shortly after the tournament potentially. Strike hard and Strike true!
• No other additions slated for him just yet. The rest of the group needs to be tested with their changes to see if by the end of the first arc, everyone is up to speed. 

Fennwick

Fennwick got a much needed face lift away from the stock RPG Maker assets. There was a lot of confusion about his role in the group. My main idea is to have him act as one of the healers of the group throughout the story but take more of a Cleric/Ranger type of deal if we are looking at it on D&D terms. An example would be Rosa given if you set her up with a Zodiac bow and some good ol Artemis Arrows, she can rack up some damage. Eventually if he is not healing, he will be using special bow attacks or debuffing the enemy. Here are some changes added in the new update:

• 4 separate single-target and multi-target Debuff spells have been added.
• Contemplating buffing his attack just a little bit.

Alva

Alva got a much needed addition to her spell list in addition to a nice face lift as well. Here's some additions to our Forgetful mage:

• "II" Tier spells added for each elemental spell and require knowing the previous spell before learning the next one. Contemplating her starting with Just fire and Brynhilda gives you the other 5 spells. 
• Status ailment spells have been added. The Merchant inside of the magic shop in Encordia Sells the tomes but they are pretty expensive for now. Later in development, they will be spread out throughout the demo, requiring a careful eye. 
• Both Thunder Spells will be added eventually

Other changes

• Updated sprites for all character dialog events with the new sprites
• JP gained now properly displays after a battle

Early Access

Being a solo dev and this being your first game is pretty tough. All the same the fact of the matter is the game is slowly approaching the size that I'll need to speak with Itch.io support to raise my file limit size. If they are unable to, then that means the game will have to be put on steam. Since steam charges a non refundable fee to list your game, Early Access is going to be priced accordingly. There is also a Patreon up now for the project where you can subscribe to have an even more direct impact on the game which can  be found here:

Proposed Steam Pricing Structure:

V0.3-V0.5 $4.99USD

V0.6-V0.9 $9.99USD

V1.0+ $14.99

The Demo will always remain free even post 1.0

Our next Blog post will be tomorrow showcasing the first area post the demo, "Encordia Sewers." There's been strange disappearances for weeks now and Sigvar and his friends have been tasked with finding out what's going on. Brynjar won't be around to bail them out this time but supposedly, Torren, the fist of Encordia is also assisting the guild but HQ has lost contact with him for a few hours now. While this area wont be a Mystery Dungeon like the Realm of the Forest Guardian, The complex twists and turns will prove to be a gauntlet of attentiveness as well as a test of strength while you try to fend off the monsters lurking beneath the city streets. How could monster's get this close to town?
