[h1]Hello, Commander![/h1] Working on Zoria: Age of Shattering is an [b]exciting[/b] but also [b]challenging[/b] experience. The ideas are endless, and expectations - yours and ours - are high. This month we introduced many valuable changes to the game. Are you ready? Welcome to [b]Monthly Changelog #2[/b]! ːsteamhappyː [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//35921056/317b055d31d32918383f57710c9d3fcd342e7cd5.png[/img] [i]A party ready to explore each corner. Do I smell... chest?![/i] [h2]Remodeled and expanded locations[/h2] Rithvale had a complete makeover. We needed to rebuild it to match it with our current level of quality. Rithvale will become your homebase and your safe haven you'll long for after a long journey. Players will now have quests available (both sidequests and main quests), making it a more[b] lively area worth revisiting at different stages of the game. [/b] Do you remember Shrieking Pass? Some of you might have seen it in the demo from 2 years ago. We felt this location could be more interesting, so we decided to revisit it, with some new places and adventures ːsteamhappyː Now it is not only an area where the story takes place but also a part of the story on its own.

We evacuate everyone, and then we lure a dragon and four Trolls to raze the city to the ground. Easy-peasy.[/i] [h2]Attacks of Opportunity[/h2] RPG players are most likely familiar with this system. Certain characters will be able to strike an enemy unit in combat as it moves next to them. It can be a very [b]satisfying[/b] move that'll prevent your opponents from running away from you and has a significant chance to finish them off without the need to chase them around the map (and possibly get into a trap).

Whether you like to adjust a gender or look to your own for a better immersion, play a hero of your dreams or make it an honor to play as a female character whenever possible - [b]we've got you.[/b] Once again, huge thanks to everyone who supported us in the Kickstarter campaign!ːsteamhappyː [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//35921056/fea9a90ae26d6849e8e11143412fed62385c104a.png[/img] [i]There was a crowd waiting to witness your glory, but you took too long to pick up that perfect shade of hair (even though you can't see it through the helmet).[/i] [h2]Best Upcoming - IndieDB Indie of the Year 2022[/h2] Do you remember how last time we asked you to vote in a IndieDB's Indie of the Year poll...? [b]We got the 5th place!!! [/b]ːsteamhappyː We knew there were a lot of you out there, yet getting this high in the rank exceeded our expectations! Thank you so much for voting! [b]It wouldn't be possible without your help[/b]ːsteamhappyː [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//35921056/3d420c801c7d7b64fb2cf4eaaf904c7d41049ee1.png[/img] ːsteammockingː [b]You can watch Best Upcoming - IndieDB Indie of the Year 2022 here:[/b] [previewyoutube=08qYfucW5XI;full][/previewyoutube] That's it for now ːsteammockingː [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//35921056/e892b0502d64710e3823e006f2262b7f2d8902ec.png[/img] [i]You see a path that leads you forward. The path has been lit by a dozen of torches and adorned with skulls impaled on stakes. Someone passed this way not long ago.[/i] ːsteammockingː[b] If you want to connect with the community, you can join Zoria's Discord here:[/b] [url=https://discord.com/invite/k3fPxX8][img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//35921056/d029a793af54184beabe368f4d69a5d886e66078.png[/img][/url] Until next time, Feanen
