Version 0.5.28

Ascend from Nine Mountains
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

This version contains a blossom rework, discord rich presence, balancing, and a linux build.


Changes

  • Discord Rich Presence is now supported. This will show in discord when a player is playing AfNM, what realm they are in, and what screen they are on.
  • Formation Parts now show a tooltip on what they are and what they do.
  • Currently active Formation Parts are now disabled in the item dialog during combat, so you can't accidentally waste them.
  • Formation Parts can now be quick slotted.
  • The world map background is now a little darker.

Balance Changes

  • Blossom has been rebalanced and reworked.
