Hi Wanderers, It's been a really busy few weeks for the two of us here as we near the launch of Mythic! In the past few weeks we have been working on a number of big changes, some of which we have pushed out already. We've also shared current leaderboard standings for NA and EU at the bottom of this post! First for the updates: Here are the updates:

UI Updates

We had complaints that the text in-game was too small or blurry - sometimes we were using different fonts in different places for no good reason, and this made the game harder to get into, especially for new players.

• Following this update, the text should be very easy to read on any screen/window size.
• We also made a number of improvements to menus. They should now resize smoothly, without forcing elements on top of each other. Scrollable elements should be scrollable by mousing over them (you won't have to click inside first like before).

Map Updates

• We have implemented a World View on the map - this is something we had planned for a while.
• There's now a button at the bottom-right of the map that lets you switch to this view. The World View shows a zoomed out view where you can see all the domains explored.
• In Mythic Origins, this world view will be somewhat empty, as players will have access to a maximum of only two domains.
• In the full game Mythic, this World View will be very helpful (and frankly necessary) as you can explore an infinite number of domains.
• Also added a 'friend is here' icon to the map legend.

Bugfixes

Fixed in recent weeks:

• Fixed a bug where holding down movement keys and opening a menu would keep you moving even while in the menu
• Fixed a bug where 'enter the gauntlet' objective would show up briefly even after you entered the gauntlet and then died
• Fixed a bug where the blood pact could prevent players from opening inventory to unequip

Future Plans

We are working hard on networking to improve hit and collision registration and responsiveness - and will continue to work on this until it feels great for all players. We're also putting the finishing touches on the elemental biomes. Our work is cut out for us till launch, which is just 9 days away! We are beyond excited to finally be able to share our dream game with you all. If you haven't already, please add our full game Mythic to your wishlist, it really helps us out! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1752260/Mythic/
