[i]“Each stone laid with the weight of centuries, each victory a testament to the perseverance of the immortal.”[/i] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40275994/cea5b1ff86ce8b4eb40bc4e8c6399880c4cb75d2.jpg[/img] Fellow Vampires, A vampire lord is as influential as their clan is. Aren’t your brothers in arms the true sign of power? After all, they not only stand by your side but also support you with their wisdom. Thus, we are grateful for the community of vampires on our Discord. Thank you to each and every one of you for your support, feedback, and kind words. Our team studies your activity every day and works towards creating a world where we can all conquer the lands of Paris.

Therefore, we decided to implement changes in its distance and angle. After testing several options, we settled on the current camera’s placement, which you can see on the screen below. In addition, it’s now possible to zoom in and out so that you can adjust it to your preferences or occasionally admire the details of our characters and environment.

Trees and grass now react to wind, and occasional flocks of birds cross the sky. But fear not if this sounds too lively to you, as a murky fog came over the lands of Paris to constantly remind you of the cold within your bones.

The animation blend from the starting to the running position is on point while keeping the overall hand movement and posture natural.

We believe in its uniqueness and high fun factor; hence, polishing it is one of our priorities. The last updated version of Chronostasis includes the possibility to withdraw used actions and to see which ones have been planned to cast. Further improvements include adjustment of the character’s movement during Chronostasis, both in visual and mechanical aspects; currently, the line in which the character moves is not only visible but also knows about the obstacles on its path.

To bring the bloodbath effect to thrilling fights, we implemented a new functionality to the visual effect of blood. Now, liquids are dynamic so that the blood dripping from your victims could leave a crimson trail of your conquest.
