BitCraft
The latest vignette posted to BitCraft Twitter quickly mentions market stalls, a place where you can, “purchase regional goods from the locals – goods that are impossible to find in other parts of the world.” Does this mean BitCraft will have player-run stalls with the need for caravans (and guards) to supply goods? Eu certamente espero que sim. Discutir!
Broken Ranks
Last week we mentioned that the newest patch for Broken Ranks would go live on Monday, May 9th. It did, and you can read the full patch notes on the Broken Ranks changelog.
Chimeraland
The Closed Beta Test has begun in Canada and Japan and will run until May 17th. While the test still appears to be region locked in the Google Play Store, the PC Beta Test client (like the live version) can be accessed from any region.
Corepunk
A post on the Corepunk Discord this week announced that a majority of Artificial Core’s employees are Ukrainian and due to the ongoing conflict in the region, they will be suspending support for the Russian region. On May 17, the Russian website, forum, and Discord channel will be disabled.
The Cycle: Frontier
The first round of invites has been sent out to new Focus Test Group members, with more expected to be delivered on Monday.
Dual Universe
There’s some good news/bad news for any Dual Universe Kickstarter supporters out there. A forum post announced that the Dual Universe figurines and Collector Box production is complete. However, there are some issues with the partner responsible for handling the shipping of said items, and delivery of the physical rewards won’t start until the issues are resolved.
Novaquark also introduced a brand new podcast this week. Episode #1 of the Ask Aphelia Podcast can be found on the Dual Universe YouTube channel.
Ethyrial: Echoes of Yore
There was a large patch pushed out on Saturday. Lair of the Exiles, a new 5-man dungeon tuned to level 30+ players can now be found within the Old Mines. The new dungeon will serve as a primer to help players gear up for the new 20-man dungeon, Elemental Rift. Along with all of the new loot to be gained by completing both dungeons, all party members involved in the world first kill of the final Elemental Rift boss will receive a unique reward.
Foxhole
A new devblog, titled Spring Update, was posted this week. The blog served as a preview for Update 49, a small update that has been slated to arrive before version 1.0 goes live later this year. Update 49 looks to be a minor update that will focus on bug fixes and optimization rather than adding new mechanics to the gameplay.
Fractured Online
After a short delay, patch b.0.1e went live on Thursday, followed by downtime for a quick hotfix on Friday. Crafting fees and taxes have been introduced, harbors are now PvP free within 50 meters of the Harbor office building, and a couple of player animations received a once-over. You can find all of the changes and bug fixes in the full patch notes.
Genfanad
This week, Genfanad developer Rose Tinted Glasses was busy hyping up their upcoming Kickstarter campaign. A new announcement video revealed the campaign start date to be May 31st (no surprise given their previous hints). The announcement was covered by several media sites, including Game Press, Gaming Trend, and PocketGamer.
Gloria Victis
Weekly Update 318 was posted alongside the v0.9.9.4 patch this week. Along with a new Glory Season, Guild Technologies were also added and can be accessed by hitting the [G] key on your keyboard.
Legends of Aria
The first Alpha for LoA 2.0 went live on Wednesday, giving anyone with a premium subscription to LoA Classic a first look at the updated game. Anyone interested in checking out the Alpha can still get a premium subscription by visiting the LoA site. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait until the Beta Test planned for this summer.
Mundo louco
A second trailer for the upcoming Mad World Final Alpha was released this week. A third trailer is expected to drop on May 23rd, just two days before the Final Alpha starts.
Past Fate
An official Alpha trailer for Past Fate went live this week, giving us a 60-second look at some gameplay, including fishing, mining, and combat!
Profane
A Insane anunciou que começaria a realizar várias sessões de teste de combate para profano nas próximas semanas. O teste será limitado apenas à personalização de caracteres, ataques básicos e recursos de movimento. Uma postagem no canal proFane Discord detalha o que os jogadores podem esperar durante os testes, e qualquer pessoa interessada pode se inscrever preenchendo um aplicativo.
Universo próspero
No Development Log #334, Martin, Nick e Michi o preferem em todos os seus trabalhos recentes.
Reino do Deus louco
O terceiro evento anual (?) Em shards e peças foi realizado nesta semana. O evento vai até segunda -feira, 16 de maio, então você ainda tem algumas horas restantes para obter algum saque extra. Se você acabar perdendo o evento, sempre poderá participar do evento de reconstrução que ocorre de 17 a 31 de maio.
Houve também uma postagem no blog no início da semana que discutia os novos subtipos de armas que seriam adicionados a rotmg ainda este ano.
cicatrizes de honra
Eles podem não ser tão emocionantes quanto a corrida destacada da semana passada (os mortos -vivos!), Mas nesta semana a equipe SOH abriu a discussão em um grampo de RPG, o alto elfo. Pegue suas próteses pontudas e entre na discussão nos fóruns soh.
Um conto de município
Nesta semana, viu um novo patch, main-0.1.2.4, que trouxe um punhado de atualizações e correções de missões e PC. Você pode ler as notas completas do patch aqui. Depois de tirar uma semana de folga, o gerente da comunidade Cayde também publicou o Alta Logs #7, onde eles dedicaram um tempo para apresentar alguns novos membros da equipe.
Ilhas indomas
Perdi a atualização do desenvolvedor para abril que foi publicada em 3 de maio. Antes tarde do que nunca, certo?
Villagers & Heroes
Os servidores caíram por alguns minutos na terça -feira, para que a equipe V & H pudesse implantar um novo patch. O patch estava focado principalmente na fixação de bugs existentes relativos a questões de colisão e movimento.
Wild Terra 2
Pode ser uma entrada muito curta na página wild Terra 2 Steam News, mas a postagem tem dois grandes anúncios. Primeiro, criação de animais. Segundo, uma mudança completa no início do jogo, com uma nova trama, locais e cadeias de missões atualizadas. Essas são todas as informações que a postagem fornece, portanto, fique atento para futuras atualizações.
Sementes no mundo
Após um curto período de acesso antecipado no Steam, o World Seed_ será lançado oficialmente na terça -feira, 17 de maio. Não há menção ao preço de liberação, mas o preço atual de acesso precoce é de US $ 8,99.
