Update #4: Balances and Bugs!

Hello everyone back with another update of Gods and Shadows. We've been continuing to iron out bugs, add quality of life changes, and add more art assets to round out the items in the game. Currently we have not added any new content and the focus has been entirely on fixing bugs and adjusting the game to make more sense to a first time player. By adding text boxes that help you know what npc should be spoken to, to removing issues with combat freezing, we've been trying our best to iron out the issues. In addition to that to help ensure that the game is a challenge and is inline with expectations, character abilities have been reduced in power. To start out character abilities are too strong and considering that you can level up your stats and they directly influence how strong they are very quickly. So to fix this the overall damage all characters do baseline has been reduced besides the wizard due to their high risk high reward playstyle. This should help enemies feel stronger and make losing a real possibility. Overall the game will be more rewarding as a result and feel more stable overtime.

As we continue development please fill out this form if you run into any issues within the game.
