Massive Update Now Out! v1.5 Released!


Its finally here, the massive update that I've spent the past few weeks working on. Making this was an absolutely massive undertaking, and one that I hope was more than worth it. The update's content focus differs from the prior theme of the game, but I hope people appreciate the diversification of content and the massive expansion added to the game. 


Changelog:

- 6 new areas, with 16 new enemies between them to encounter - nearly tripling the size of the game!

- Two endings that should hopefully suffice to provide people an acceptable resolution to things (a 'good' and 'bad' ending, currently).

- Numerous bugfixes that were preventing certain areas from being accessed in what is now the first half of the game.

- The game now features Orassans, with permission provided by their creator to their inclusion.

- Tweaked leveling ever so slightly.

- A secret 'corruption' system for the new area, tied to being able to earn the 'bad' end.

- Due to the choices I've made with the new areas, Gargoyle is now a hard requirement. While it is still possible to use the packaged player, graphics are vital for understanding how to navigate some of the new areas.



Balance is probably still an issue, feedback is appreciated - as is support for the game (which now has a source-code over 100k words). With support I'll be able to continue to expand upon what is in the game, aiming to add even more for people to enjoy and explore - as well as potentially artwork as well. You can support the game through my Subscribestar, here on Itch.io, or through Ko-fi - and feedback and suggestions can be made via the Discord Server setup for the game which is linked in the game itself (in the about section of the menu).



Anyhow, enjoy the new update! If you encounter any issues at all, please let me know so that I can fix them! ^.^

what is "Gargoyle" is it an app i need to install?

Gargoyle is an IF player (a program that runs Interactive Fiction files, such as those produced by the Inform7 engine). It is required to be installed to see graphics (which with the new areas is essential), however its a relatively light download.
