The time has come when I must state with full certainty that the updates concerning the underground city are drawing to a close. Version 0.6.1 is yet another piece in the puzzle of implementing the subterranean metropolis. Of course, the underground world will continue to be developed, but its – let’s call it – core part has now been almost completed.

In addition to Abysforge itself, a road leading right up to the city gates is also being built, which means we can finally begin the journey either from the village of Thallor or from the city of Eldrathor. Version 0.6.1 introduces new enemies that stand in our way on the path to Abysforge. There’s the snow wolf – a mid-tier opponent that doesn’t fight with weapons, but the damage it deals is quite heavy. Along the way we’ll also encounter a snowstorm that adds greatly to the atmosphere of the journey itself.
As for changes in Abysforge: we can now already talk with Ferrognosis, the ruler/steward of the city. His dialogue path is still under development and Ferrognosis himself will become a central figure in many quests. But that’s not really the subject of the 0.6.1 patch notes… Abysforge has received a massive shadow overhaul performed on thousands of elements, which has significantly improved performance while playing on this level. The entire scenery has also been enriched with molten lava flowing beneath the city and crashing against the rocks. This effect has intensified the already hot and grim atmosphere of the place. Still – I promise this is far from the end of beautifying our underground metropolis. I’d love to write how many plans are connected with this location, but… I won’t tell 😉
