I know, I know, you've heard it all before. The dev got bored and wandered off the project... no progress, everything is quiet. Well half right, I had to take a break. I've spent 40 years building games but never got a chance to do it as my day job. That chance has come up so I've spent the last few months taking it and running! :) I've put a lot of time into my new role and unfortunately that meant I needed to take a break from Tales. But I'm back baby! There's a lot to do, here's a few of the things you can expect coming up [olist]

It's finally here, after 6 months of development, the Northlands update is released. In introduces

• 40+ Quests
• 3 new towns
• 100s of new Items and Loot
• 50+ new monsters
• 5 new bosses
• 20+ spells and abilities
• More crafting, harvesting and of course, fishing!
• Masses of secrets and tricks to discover

Around 2pm EST I'll be trying to push out Northlands the next big update for Tales of Yore - wish me luck and lets find all those bugs!

6 months in the making, the Northlands update brings 40 new monsters and 40 new quests.

Welcome back to the Tales of Yore Dev log! The last couple of months have been pretty slow paced and I even missed a devlog last month while trying to get back on track. However, this month, I'm back in the groove and things are progressing at a hell of a rate. August has been a very productive month and I'm now on track for the Northlands release in September! So, lets go! https://kevglass.itch.io/tales-of-yore/devlog/583585/back-in-black-this-is-a-big-one

Tales of Yore has reached a stability level where it can come out of Early Access. This is a huge milestone and is in preparation for the next massive game content update next month. Updates continue at their normal frantic pace but the game is now stable enough for anyone to play. Hope to see you in game soon!

New dev log is up at: The Day Job got out of hand - Tales of Yore https://kevglass.itch.io/tales-of-yore/devlog/543953/the-day-job-got-out-of-hand Covers a lot of the improvements going on for new players.

[previewyoutube=NToZKwODRDE;full][/previewyoutube] So, whats this Tales of Yore thing anyway? We're coming up on our second birthday and we're starting to see a decent increase in players. What's it all about? Tales is intended to be an "old school" MMORPG - that means, it's hard, you have to spend time working stuff out and the fun is in exploring. The game is big enough now to take 100s of hours to full explore and has built up a friendly positive community (we don't really stand for the normal toxic behaviour on these things). Bits you might not like (or alternatively might be the best thing in the world):

• There's no Player vs Player combat - it just generates negative community aspects so the game doesn't have it. It won't have it, ever.
• There's no concept of pay to win - if we find anything that can be abused that way, it gets removed. You can pay to subscribe if you want to support the game but everyone is equal, pay or not.
• You have to work stuff out - Tales doesn't take the approach that players need to be lead by the nose through the game. If you're more in to being told to go to X, then go to Y, this probably isn't going to work for you.
• It's hard - you can die easily by walking into the wrong place without taking care. When you die you can lose gold and equipment (though not always or everything). Luckily there are generally people around to help you back up.
• Its early access - things are always changing, there are normally a couple of releases each day with bug fixes, balance changes and new features.

New dev log is available over on Itch: Focus is a Rare Dish served in Tibet

Tales of Yore got some big updates!

• Cosmetics - There now a whole range of cosmetic items available, some paid for, some free to subscribers and some just plain free! These include the new visible weapons update which of course means you can now walk around with a huge sword or staff.
• Jobs - Many towns now have Jobs boards which contain procedurally generate mini quests, so theres always something to do. Completing jobs gets you tokens, and tokens can be exchanged for brand new prize items.
• Treasure Maps - There are no treasure maps available that have you searching the world for buried treasure. There's a lot of junk out there, but maybe, just maybe, you'll be the one to find the real treasure hidden in random locations around the world.
