By the way, there's a recent, longer dev update on Steam as well. TL;DR: I'm still here, reading everything and working my way toward release.

Can't wait for you guys to try what I'm cooking!⚔️

OK, story progress button no longer shifts position based on the text, and the 🎲 option is now much more prominent, as many of you requested!

Also... exciting changes have been made to the main storyline(s), and the new Select Abilities feature fits in nicely too! 👀

Some fantasy games are not always about fast combat or becoming the strongest hero.

Sometimes the interesting part is watching characters think, struggle, cooperate… or completely ruin your plans.

Story-driven RPGs and personality systems can create some surprisingly memorable moments.

@IndieCurator Hey! Many thanks for featuring the project! ;)

[The Guiding Spirit @GuidingSpirit22]

@WWSGames It does… Cool-looking game btw!

[The Guiding Spirit @GuidingSpirit22]

@Latiencur Cool!

[The Guiding Spirit @GuidingSpirit22]

I've been silent for a while, but only because I'm focusing all my efforts on the release build. A lot has been added: new combat abilities, spells, Spirit interactions, classes, items, specializations and more! 🔥

I'll do a Steam progress update once I can take a breath.

@l_szloboda26770 Looks wow!

@KnightsFrontier "In Knights of Frontier Valley you can see vendors walk to their stalls at the marketplace in the morning..."
I love when you can see and experience these NPC routines in games. Can't wait for the demo!

[The Guiding Spirit @GuidingSpirit22]

@DanielCrow75474 @PlayReignfall @void_wound Looks super-fun!

[The Guiding Spirit @GuidingSpirit22]

@IndieGameJoe Fantastic idea for a game! BTW, thanks for these posts, I've discovered a bunch of creative indie games through you recently. As an indie player and dev myself, this is great stuff. Please keep it up.

[The Guiding Spirit @GuidingSpirit22]

@paper_rogue That’s a neat feature!

[The Guiding Spirit @GuidingSpirit22]

@NicoDiti It's on my list, the demo was great already and I can tell a lot of work went into the game, congrats on the release!

[The Guiding Spirit @GuidingSpirit22]

@DevLand95213410 Yep! Welcome ;)

[The Guiding Spirit @GuidingSpirit22]

@SkaldRpg BG 1 & 2 really managed to capture a strong sense of adventure. The wide cast of recruitable characters and their inter-party relationships are still pretty impressive (though if i remember correctly, that shines more in the second installment).

[The Guiding Spirit @GuidingSpirit22]

@ldsg8827 Looks cool! :)

[The Guiding Spirit @GuidingSpirit22]

@DanielCrow75474 Haha! Looks like I need to tweak some reactions 🙂 This reminds me of the first session I ever DM-d. The party members murdered each other five minutes into the adventure :D
