News on version 0.0.11.0

Hey everyone! It’s been a while! Version 0.0.11.0, which includes several new additions as well as chapter 3 for Iron Will, is almost completed! Some things you can expect are as follows.

- Chapter 3 of Iron Will, which includes new areas, dungeons, monsters, and story!

- An overhaul of the current difficulties. The five difficulties will be Casual, Easy, Normal, Hard, and Nightmare. Normal, Hard and Causal (Very Easy) remain unchanged, but I mixed up how the final two work. Easy mode simply reduced the strength of random encounters and does not affect bosses. But the changes are drastic. You’ll find it is much easier to level up, hence, easy mode. Nightmare is the same as what Very Hard used to be but it now also has a level cap per chapter. This completely stops the ability to over level and makes it difficult to complete many of the side quests as early as you might normally attempt them. It is not recommended for a first playthrough, but it is sure to bring a challenge for those who want it.

- Fishing! It’s been so long since its announcement, but the first testing version of my fishing minigame will be in the game!

- Much more to be revealed on update day!

One final thing I want to address is that I will be splitting the game into a free demo and a paid version for $2.50. There is a good chance it will also be released on Steam as an early access game. The demo will go through chapter 6 while the paid version has everything else as well as a few cosmetics.  However, I am still interested in accepting a bit more play testers, so if you want to play the early releases of each version for free, do check out my discord! (linked in the main game page).

That’s all for now! You can expect the update to release sometime this month. Not sure when, but it should absolutely be done at some point in March. Hopefully on the sooner side. See ya then!
