Hello fellow daoists, This will be the final update to Heavenly Peaks prior to Chapter 1 of the game. This update took longer to push to Steam for several reasons. I wanted to raise backwards compatibility. In addition, a ton of new features have been added to carry the player through the rest of the game. In other words, this is a major tech update. I will list the most noticeable changes (in total, 300 changes both minor or major):

• A focus on stability (error fixing).
• Improved battle system. The game is now turn based-rpg style battles with a twist. Based on the # of companions you have, you can take multiple actions during a turn to defeat foes.
• A vast number of QOL improvements, such as more convenient item handling, crafting, etc.
• Revamped the workings of the training system (though, this may be less obvious to notice, you now collect talent points for mastering training types, as an example.)
• Added a new stat (Intent) and also a new set of weapon skills related to it.
• Foundation Field / Elixirs have been added. This is mostly in preparation of chapter 1, but you can play around with them here. They impart powerful and permanent benefits to your character.
• Breath Arts (affect aspects of meditation).
• Several other features that will unlock once chapter 1 begins, such as hidden weapons, inner arts, and so on.
• A new method to navigate the world at large.
• New zone exploration mechanics.
