Greetings, friends!

A summary of the most important improvements is provided below:

Hey there, friends!

Greetings, friends! All changes for the demo version:

Greetings, friends! Welcome to "Lovecraftian Days" on Steam!
First of all, I would like to thank all of you who have played SKELETHRONE: THE PREY and left your feedback. In order to prevent you from getting bored, I would like to invite you to play the demo version of Skelethrone: The Chronicles of Ericona if you haven't already played it at previous festivals. The demo is available on the game page. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2139840/Skelethrone_The_Chronicles_of_Ericona/ The events of the demo unfold right after the end of THE PREY. New bosses, weapons, enemies and characters are waiting for you. Leveling up is now extremely important, as the main character in the story (SPOILER: [spoiler]dies at the end of the prologue, but is reborn again, albeit losing all his skills[/spoiler]. It's worth noting that all the changes made (improved animations, impact, etc.) from THE PREY have not been carried over into this demo, as it's technically difficult at the moment and would take too long to implement. Currently, all efforts are concentrated on improving and finalizing the main game version based on community feedback. This demo still has a lot to offer, so I hope you enjoy it. It is highly recommended that you play Skelethrone: The Prey before tackling the demo. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2139870/Skelethrone_The_Prey/

Hello there Soul Seekers!

Have any questions?

Hello friends! I think now is a good time to introduce you to our game in detail. This includes how it was conceived, its prerequisites and inspirations, as well as its lore and inhabitants. Seeing so many enthusiastic people like you looking forward to the release of this game is wonderful. Ksayfar is my nickname; I am the developer of Skelethrone, and I am starting a Developer Diary. Welcome to the Makh-Abyss world. Michael John Moorcock. Many are familiar with the name, while others are hearing it for the first time. As a fan of his Eternal Champion books, I was inspired to create this world. He is a superb (at least in my opinion) English writer of heroic fantasy. During the height of the pandemic in February 2020, I (like many others in this world) isolated myself. In the middle of a cold winter night, I was conquering another adventure (for the umpteenth time). A sudden thought flashed across my mind; why don't I make a game? This was the right time to do something like this. Despite my lack of experience in game development, my artistic and musical abilities were not lacking. The only thing I had to do was learn how to work with the game engine. Almost half a year later, the first prototype was ready. As I had several variations of the game's main character, I decided he would be absolutely neutral in his quest for victory, as he is neither good nor evil. That's how the Skeleton came to be. My story will continue soon, but for now, you can check out the updated trailer to the Prologue. [previewyoutube=3bAmZ_2hr34;full][/previewyoutube]
