Hello!

We have an update out for you and we think you will enjoy it.

With this update comes a new area to explore. It is a large expansion to the area of the golem near the town. Soon it will be used for quests and more.

We have also added in 6 new NPCs in the town. The first portion of a much larger quest is implemented and the NPCs will comment and contribute to this quest. The second half of the quest will follow shortly.

We have also added in lanterns and torches. We are planning on making certain areas dark and light will be a resource that you will have to manage. This feeling already exists during the Deathblood boss. It will be used in additional areas.

Much more work has gone into the archives. As the screen shot indicates the area is really starting to shape up. We are getting close.

More story line work has been done. We will soon be able to advance the main quest line and have much more for the player to do to aid the poor Eldurii. Some of the existing quest will be slightly re-written. Also, more NPCs are commenting on the lore of the game and soon even more will be added in.

We'll see you with another update soon. Thanks guys.

Hello!

We have been working hard and have a large update for you.

As we have been discussing on our forums and in our streams, we have been working hard on this update and it is finally ready. While this update does not add a lot of new content directly to the game it does pave the way for us to make some good changes coming up.

Now that this big update is out we are going to turn our attention to getting back on our weekly update cycle. It is our hope that we can rapidly implement some content that will directly add gameplay hours with new quests and new areas.

We hope you guys enjoy it!

The changelog for this week is a little ambiguous but a WHOLE lot was done.

-Town improvements and rework.
-Many Changes to the environment and many updated models.
-Large Performance improvements (this will effect new areas and gets us close to the archive interior area)
-Worked on Particles (This will enable us to make torches and lanterns as well as better spell and environment particles)
-Decreased CPU load (This will allow us to do more with AI and implement other features while increasing FPS even further)
-Many many various back end changes and tweaks that will allow us to take our game where it needs to go.

Hey guys we pushed out a small update to fix a few values that were off because of the balancing update.

Mostly we fixed some values and made a few back end changes.

See you guys soon.

Hello everyone!

It took a bit longer but we have our update out and ready to go.

This is the first iteration of the balancing update. With it comes the groundwork for a more complete and dynamic combat system. Our goal is to give the player as much control over the type of combat he or she wants to engage in.

We have added in damage types. While they aren't doing a whole lot right now, we will be able to to use them to build a system full of weapons and armors that interact with each other in interesting ways. Eventually you'll need to think about the enemy you are facing and choose wisely on how you want to conquer.

Work continues on the interior of the archives as well as several new areas to come. In the future we are looking towards getting a basic crafting system in and a more dynamic combat system.

Let us know what you think on our forums and keep in touch with us on twitter (@liminalgames) and youtube. We also stream each week on twitch.tv/ekcell.

Changelog:
-Weapon damage balanced.
-Armor value balanced.
-Starting stats balanced.
-Health values of enemies balanced.
-Added in damage types. (Slashing, Crushing, and Piercing, UI is not displaying the type yet but types are present and interacting with armor)
-Added in new animations for 1 handed mace move set(Early versions, modifications will be made).
-Changed greatsword power attack animation.
-Dramatically decreased CPU load. (Expect large frame rate improvement).
-Added in weapon Quality and Condition (Note, you won't be able to find higher tier weapons just yet, but they will be added in very soon, additional balancing required)
-Rescaled armor effectiveness. Armor rating now more effective at reducing damage.
-Additional artwork added to the exterior of the archives.

We have set up our office in a new location and have been busy developing. This week brings in some pretty good new stuff.

Changelog:
-Added in a new weapon type: Greatswords.
-Bandits can wield greatswords.
-New Idle animation.
-New art and environment assets added to the Archives (all outdoor)
-Additional performance increases

-Fixed multiple bugs.
-Fixed some graphical issues.

The new weapon in the game makes for some good fun. It's pretty powerful right now. The balancing update is coming along nicely. The new update will bring in a host of changes that will impact nearly every aspect of the game in at least a small way.

We'll be seeing you soon.

Hey guys!

We had a great week and we hope you did too. We were with CryTek in San Francisco showing off the Memory of Eldurim and getting to talk to tons of really cool people.

We had a lot of people swarming our booth getting to try out our latest build. We issued a challenge for anyone to beat the first boss on their first try without getting killed would get a free copy of the game. Only 2 people actually completed the challenge.

We also got to present at CryTek's booth. You can see 4 of us in this shot. We are the ones in the grey shirts presenting. From left to right is: Ekcell (programmer), Asgard (our artist), RaB!D (lead programmer), and Bentley (our writer). Taking the picture is pwntree, another programmer.

It was a great experience and our thanks to CryTek for the invitation. We also want to thank everyone who checked out our game and that we got to talk to.

See you guys next year!

This week's update brings another boss into the game. He resides in the heart of the mountain on the far side of the island.

Changes
-New Boss: Arboreal Warden.
-Arboreal Warden area reworked.
-Reworked Ikhor Sickness Mechanic.
-Weapons now affect spell effectiveness.
-Armor now affects Ikhor dispersion rate.
-Fixed various bugs including the door crash.

The tree boss is back. He is still in his first state and we will likely see him get tweaked as time goes on. There are some minor collision issues and we do want to add in a large health bar for all boss fights, as right now he is so large it is tough to see his health.

The changes to Ikhor are going to allow us to get a lot more done in the way of spells. We have already begun work on several additional spells and future updates will bring them your way.

We are going to start work on balancing the game. Nearly every value of damage and health will be addressed.

Thanks everyone!
