Build 04.12.25 (v0.6.2) release notes
Hello there players!
I was with the flu that took a week of work away from me. But we're back on track and finally bring you a fresh new release!
This update brings an exciting feature I had been wanting to add for a while, Item Rarity for weapons and equipment!
This feature will allow us to create more unique items with different attributes.
The rarities will be divided into: Common (the regular weapon items you know), Superior, Rare, Epic and Legendary.
Depending on the rarity, the item will have higher stats in Attack, Accuracy, etc.
This took quite a lot of effort to update across the system so that the equipment is properly consolidated for the player and the characters.
Get a hold of a higher quality weapon by claiming the promo code 7M2LHECCG9YRENJQ this will be available to claim until the end of April.
Besides this feature, the update also includes a ton of UI and dialogue improvements by Timmy! Even adding a couple of new tutorial/tips when talking to Neruko.
Anyway, it's a lot to talk about so I recommend just check the full release notes here:
