Major Update Build 8.2.8

Colmen's Quest
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Wow, it's been quite an amount of work but here finally goes Colmen's biggest update!

It includes so many new content and changes that I will only list the most important points here.

New Features & Content

  • New quests that will unveil the story behind The Incident
  • New side quests
  • New outdoor areas:
    • The Swamp
    • The Wailing Forest
  • New dungeons
  • New skills
  • Lots of new enemies
  • New Waypoint travel system
    • IMPORTANT: You need to unlock a waypoint in each level to be able to travel there after your death. Town Portals still exist, but they are not available anymore after your death or 'Save & Quit'.
  • Inventory tabs for each item type:
    • You can now sort your inventory for armor, weapons, consumables and more.
  • New "Mark for sale" feature
    • You can now mark any sellable item "For sale" and it will be hidden from your primary inventory and automatically sold the next time you trade with a merchant.
  • New Diablo-like map discovery as overlay
  • More hidden objects to discover
  • More content and things to discover in the village

Usability, Balancing & Fixes

  • Updated character move animation
  • New sound effects
  • Lots of minor usability improvements
    • Most important: You now see under your cursor when you can perform an attack with your current weapon (especially when using ranged weapons)
  • Lots of balancing:
    • Item prices and loot
    • Balancing around Strength-based builds
    • Boss difficulty has been increased
    • Exp / Level has been rebalanced
    • ... and much more!
  • Lots of bug fixes!

New Release

With the new release Colmen's Quest will enter the Alpha state. The game now includes about 80% of the main quest line and main content. I expect it to have a playtime of 5-7 hours for one playthrough. This new version will be available for $4.99 and will be updated to the full version later on.

Everyone who donated the minimum suggested amount of $3 will receive their copy for free!
I just need to figure out what's the best way to do this. It may take some days.
If you cannot await playing: Send me an email (play@colmensquest.com) from the account that you used with your payment and I will send you a download link.

Mac & Demo version

Mac users have to wait a bit longer for the updated game. Sorry for that!

The Demo version will also receive an update that includes most of the gameplay changes but no new areas and their related content.

Feedback

Let me know all your feedback for the new update. I'm especially interested in how you experienced the overall difficulty and the skills you used on your playthrough.

As always, if you like the game I would be really happy to read some nice comments or ratings! Thank you so much for playing and supporting Colmen!
