Hello GuildMestars,

Thank you for reading this special edition of Developer Insights as today marks the 1 year anniversary of GuildMestar being publicly available. While work on the 0.2.0.0 update is still underway I thought it would be fun to take a look at how far the game has come in the past year!

- Visuals -

Massive improvements to visuals have occurred over this past year from the overall guild experience, UI improvements, character animations, character overhauls, and more! Weather visualization was also added recently to give a long standing system a more visual presence.

Some old characters given a face lift and a couple of the newer models added. (oops is that a new character? how did that get in there?)

The first region and demo's final boss, silhouetted to protect their identity.

- Gameplay -

We've seen the addition of a plethora of new gameplay devices including: Construction, Cooking, Fishing, Smithing, Shifting, and Fixing. v0.2.0.0 will include some rather interesting changes to the game's current Trading mechanics as well, giving all you would be merchants a new outlet(s).

The old Bounty system was also reworked into the Boasting system unlocked via Construction. Providing more flexibility to the challenges you the GuildMestar wish to undertake.

- Future -

While this list may not seem like much, a lot of effort has gone into this project and I sincerely appreciate everyone who has checked it out. The update currently in progress is set to be the largest yet and will set the groundwork for the remaining project going forward. I hope everyone enjoys discovering the world of Lorn and following the activities of our mysterious Phern.

Signed,
