This was one hell of a ride. This took longer than I wanted, but it is finaly here. New dungeon together with story expansion and other things.
Right from the start, this patch is NOT compatible with previous saves. Unlocks will still carry over though.
Main quest got expanded. You can now actualy deliver the letter that was sitting in your inventory this whole time.
After getting all the events with the generals (The one that takes place on the crossroad is the last) and waiting few weeks, you will get another message and new cutscene will trigger. After that, you get a simple quest to raise your stats to a certain level and get some basic equipment. Once that's done, you will be able to go through the new dungeon with both generals and meet Mr. White.
The dungeon use 100% original graphics. Everything was made by me.
Something to bear in mind. This dungeon is intended to be a setpiece. It is fairly short and very easy, but there is still enough to explore and treasure to find.
There are several checks that change dialogue a bit so there is even some replayability here.
The dungeon ends with a boss encounter and then you finaly meet Mr. White.
Now that there is a propper way to meet Mr. White, several encounters got changed. He won't show up after you kill 50 humanoids and Suong's dialogue got changed. The basement dungeon is now locked and opens only after you meet Mr. White. He also stays in his new location, so you won't find him in the basement anymore.
I also had to do quite a few changes under the hood. I mainly touched the cutscenes skipping and some combat elements. I tested everything as best I could, but I'm 100% sure I missed something.
There is more. I don't want to spoil everything, but if you don't care about the story that much or you don't want to be suprised, then click on the small arrow bellow.
And now for the rest.
This was quite an udertaking. Doing the graphics took a lot of time and doing all the dialogue, checks and branching took even more. What took probably the most time was fixing all the issues that poped up. Cutscene skipping not working properly, party management during battle, certain skills like paralyze not working properly and more.
I'm sure there are some bugs that still remain. If you find them, please report them here or on the forum.
I'm going to take a little break. I will fix any issues that get reported but I won't be actively working on the game for a week or two.
Next large update should finaly be the war system and the expanded faction system.
Hope you enjoy this update. See you later.
