-Everything is fine!
It does seem like to be last devlog before update is out. It took a bit more time than we anticipated to update UI code-wise but its in place now. New UI includes new gallery, inventory, questlog, codex(lore encyclopedia), skill tree, new travel and combat HUD. We put extra time finish foundation of those modules to keep it flexible for easy future expansion of content, so hopefully we wont have such delays in the future with main system finally layed out.
So whats left? There combat tweaking and sound placing left, nothing extremely new or complex but still very crucial parts of the new update, since without them experience would be subpar. Reminder that new combat includes 4(!) new enemies, which is two times more enemies than we have currently, and majority of new enemies have unique mechanics (a peek into troglodyte mechanics previously). In addition we get new temporary companion and a proper usable items in combat! Not only that, combat gets execution move, if you attack low blood level enemy into maimed limb, instantly executing them, so no longer sluggish finishing off weak enemies.
As for sounds, we cashed out a bit previous month to commission several music pieces and sound designer to cover many of our combat sounds. In total we have 5 new ambient music tracks, including smut scene to replace infamous "sad piano" track. I've included new Kaldea town ambient music into attachments to give a taste of future music. Obviously those 5 new tracks will not cover everything and we will add more music as we go on.
As for how we handle publishing of new build, we will hand out early build to our early tester group in discord, who will have 1-2 days to hunt down major bugs while having time to polish leftover details which don't need active testing. After that comes patreon build once we take care of nasty bugs, and 1-2 days later will come public version of build.
We asking for last bit of patience from you guys now that we are so close to finishing this big update, we making a new poll after release to make up to you.
