UPDATE!! 8/18/19 (Patreon)

This week, my focus was on building the new areas you will be exploring in 2.2. The primary area of expansion is The Rotten Grove, the forest in the eastern overworld. Before, it was a relatively small patch of woods that you could explore as part of a quest. Now, the forest has been largely expanded.  The forest maze, one of the new sections of the forest, is the largest area in the game yet. It's very difficult to show off with in-game screenshots, but I've included a small collage of the more notable set pieces. 

There will also be a new town south of the forest. There are no screenshots of it for now, because it's very barren at the moment. This town will be tied to one of the new quests and will also include an area where you can sell off unneeded items for gold!

As stated in a previous update, 2.2 will include a crossover with vampyou.com's The Blood Temple. The new area's layout is inspired by the original game's design somewhat, but there are some differences that set it apart. This area is home to some devious traps, so be sure to take caution when exploring or you may come to an unexpected bad ending! The layout of this area is almost complete and then I will begin working on writing the events and of course all the dialogue. 

Finally, I am aiming for a late September/early October release for 2.2. This time of the year is crazy busy for me in the real world and I want to set your expectations for a bit of a later date than usual for this update.  Designing these new maps is filling my brain with creative juices again, so I can't wait to begin writing the story and dialogue for the game!
