Malebria Alpha v0.4.1 is live, containing the upgrade rooms I promised. But that's not all. I took a little longer on this update in order to add an entirely new feature to the game: Armor. Elites now have armor which provides an additional challenge whilst fighting elites so that they are not as simple to take down as other enemies. This will be even more readily apparent in my next update, which will contain both the elites and boss for the Sullen Plains. I expect this update to come out around the end of May, perhaps slightly earlier, as I am now out of school for the summer. Alpha 0.4.1 also comes with a swathe of bug fixes and QoL improvements, and I have even more slated for v0.4.2. The full list of changes is below:
v0.4.2 should be coming relatively soon, containing the remainder of the new content for the second region. The expected release window was extended a bit because I didn't anticipate wanting to add the new feature of armor. I am also planning the addition of the character I mentioned in my previous devlog into v0.4.2, so that is why I expect it to come about towards the end of this month instead of the original projected release of some time in April. I know this is another delay, but unlike the previous ones, I am doing this delay so that I can add more content. Thank you all for your interest; enjoy your summer!
