Happy Friday, Friends! Normally I wouldn't do a dev digest in the same week as an update, but we're already making headway on new things, so I didn't want to wait to share! One MUCH needed feature was the ability to track more than one quest. You can now track up to THREE!

While typing this up, Michael did this: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35606912/6f1b94fd068ecc2ef0b87cb4413d94ceeea12a75.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35606912/5f248d7214f0c1036e4c41d3abacd1a6cf57b192.png[/img] Next most requested feature is being able to see when an NPC has a quest for you. We wanted to make sure this stayed very immersive. Michael came up with this solution: any NPC that gives you a quest will have a little quest icon next to their name like this: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35606912/320b095c46d92db2276dc97c15027edca3ef5588.png[/img] The key here is that you'll know they have a quest for you, but you might not be able to do it yet. These are quests that are specifically in your log when you get them, not secret ones. Once you've done all quests available from the NPC, the little chalice will be removed. Places like the Eyre where you need reputation first, you'll see the chalice, but will need to increase your reputation before being able to do those quests. Lastly, with the sneak peek of skill trees being put into the game (and then removed with the next patch), Michael has been streaming development of the different trees. Here's the Warrior's tree (icons still a WIP): [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35606912/12ea8b09a5b39a36a5454bbebda0b0ebc38f4a26.png[/img] This tree is complete along with mage and hunter and now just needs our dedicated testers to test it. We're still working on half of the mystic tree, druid tree, and rogue tree. They are getting closer! I've also been working on more of the decor in Delver's Pass. We've been so excited about all of the new things coming so we've just been bouncing around and getting things done. If you want more sneak peeks or to just chat with Michael and I, join [url=discord.gg/kindredgames]our Discord[/url]! We're in there daily!
