Am I the only one who feels the finite xp-mechanic is really asinine in a sandbox/open world structure?
Eh, I don't mind grinding for crafting materials & loot. I just wish weapons sold for more & I had something to spend my hard earned gold on.

Neither do I but if thats your only progression its going to drain motivation fast(especially right now while both are rather limited in progression and dont substitute for the lack of character growth after a certain point).
Though even if they did/once they do,that would still feel like a disassociation from the narrative(you are supposed to be a venom like monstrosity growing in power,not a merchant with an infinite bag of healing pots and the legendary shiny sword of erectile dysfunction).
Whats even the point outside of balance(and if a player wants to shred that by grinding...why not?Let them,thats their choice and actually a big part of why many people enjoy RPG systems in the first place)?

Dunno,just wondering what the thought process behind it is,especially here,where the game is build on repeating content(in the form of quests,traveling and combat mechanics)while not going for the survival angle.
Very weird.

Imo finite xp-systems are better off in linear games(like MGQ or The Last Sovereign but even those two have their own problems because of it).

I wouldn't mind either If I could reuse my previous grinding from saved games but sometimes they aren't compatible or causes issues if you don't start a new game.

cus he is dick riding on the ai wagon
>Not even any AI in the game yet - haven't even finished testing phase with it.
>None of the character models are made with AI, the art change with characters happened because the old artist left.
>Explained multiple times the circumstances with the artists and every decision we've made up to this point.
>Literally hiring MORE artists.

There is no medal handed out for being an insufferable cunt.

Alderian News!


Alright guys, it's time for some official news!
First and foremost, we'd like to announce we've bought on a NEW artist onto the project, Shamp Shamp who we think is not only going to help us speed up production, but is producing some truly AMAZING art pieces we're just dying to show you guys. :)

We are continuing to implement the script whilst gathering up the remaining assets. Please bear with us, this update is one of the biggest we'll be putting out so far, despite the production issues.

There's a lot to be excited about, including new lewd scenes, a whole new city to explore, major lore drops as we continue the main story, new OST tracks and additional QOL improvements!


Keep your swords (and claws) sharp... One of the many terrifying monsters you'll be facing soon.

Development is continuing smoothly also with the prequel game Dreams of Celeste, we're currently continuing to gather character models and things there. (More on that soon.)

Hamun itself, is shaping up nicely. Our first goal is to make sure the city is at the very least functional, IDEALLY, we want to push it so that there are actually a few things to do in Hamun with this release, but the extent of that may vary depending on time.

Once the city is a bit more stable, (functional shops and things etc), we'll get some footage soon to show you guys!

.........

That's all for now,
more news and lots of crazy things coming soon!

As always, you guys are awesome and keep the lights on around here!
Love,

-The Damned Studios Team

Looks impressive.:love:

I Hope these two fights go better than the Man in Black & the Kraken catastrophes. :HideThePain:
