[h3]It's been about a month since our [url=https://steamcommunity.com/games/867210/announcements/detail/3133947998943623064]last dev-vlog[/url], so here is an update with what we've been up to lately.[/h3] [b]Lots of stuff happening in preparation for the Early Access launch:[/b] We're happy to announce that the translations are making progress, and what else makes good progress, is our level editor! It now has a [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZKBvpAdSpw&t=430s]mirror tool[/url] which reduces effort and helps to create fair & balanced levels. [b]Major changes have been made to the spell system.[/b] In the past, scaling was based on your wielder level, just like the power scaling of levels. Now, you scale the power level of the spells based on skills associated with each essence. [b]You love multiplayer? We hear you![/b] That's why we improved the lobby. You can now invite your friends, change your region, and in addition, if you want to play with someone who's not on your friends list, you can simply share your lobby's game code. [b]Our beloved friends of the QoL-department worked on some major improvements as well![/b] You can now use the mouse buttons when you want to move or split troops. The Ui was tidied up and facelifted: The factions Ui (left picture), wielder sheet and trading window were tweaked and unique textures have been added. In addition, there will be research icons now (right picture)!
