What's New - 12/6/2016

*An optional boss has been created and can be found inside a church in the middle of a small cross-shaped island South of Astral Tower. If defeated, the player earns roughly 70,000 EXP, several rare items, and a large amount of coins. An item called the Church Tower Key is required for entry but I haven't decided where it can be found.

*In addition, an optional side-quest has also been added than can be done by visiting the Kik La'Quay tribal camp. The nutshell version is that the Chief is depressed because a rival tribe has stolen the vitally-important Nivolea seeds (Nivolea being an important source of food as well as a profitable cash crop). The characters decide to help out and go get the seeds back (It's an RPG, what did you think they were going to do?)

But rather than typical dungeon crawling, this part of the game must be overcome with stealth.



I'm aware that stealth and RPGs might not exactly go hand-in-hand, but several well-known RPGs have included stealth elements (Dragon Warrior 4, Final Fantasy 7, Persona 4, etc...) In this part of the game there are no battles to fight or enemies to defeat. Your only objective is to find the stolen seeds and escape unseen (If you are spotted after you've gotten them, the game progresses the story to the next morning. This is to prevent having to start over even though you accomplished your task).

In the morning, the Chief gifts a powerful weapon to either William (spear) or Cecelia (bow and arrow) as thanks for recovering the Nivolea Seeds. If Cecelia has not joined the group yet, it will go to William. If she has, the game essentially flips a coin and gives it to one of them via random variable. You will also receive 5,000 EXP as a bonus.

Enemy lines of sight.
