We appreciate Grimlord and the entire community as a whole, and a significant part of it has been positive. Thank you sincerely for your support! We are committed to ongoing optimization and content updates because this is a long-term endeavor that doesn't end with the game's launch. We are proud to have a highly active community where players engage, explore, and share valuable suggestions. We’ve also noted various issues players have encountered. Many have expressed that spell casting is difficult to use and ineffective. In response, we've improved the tutorial for the spell casting, and buffed the mana damage. Additionally, some new players found certain early-game enemies quite challenging, so we’ve made adjustments to make sure everyone can get through the first 2 levels in an easier way. However, this doesn’t mean defeating enemies will be easy; you will still need to be fully engaged in the combat! Looking ahead, we are strictly following our roadmap. Soon, you can expect the introduction of arena quests and a dedicated arena mode, along with a new enhancement system. These changes will provide new players with better progression paths and offer more enjoyment for those with multiple New Game+ runs. We are also excited to soon support modkits, which are nearly ready for use. This will bring a whole new world to the game, and we can't wait to see the creativity players will unleash! Now, let’s take a closer look at the changes in this patch. [hr][/hr] [h2]Update Highlights[/h2] [list] [*] Replaced all low-quality textures with high-quality ones.
