Greetings! All this time, Ive been working hard on the first major expansion for Skelethrone: The Chronicles of Ericona. And today, Id like to share some details about what it brings, as well as its release date. This is not just new content, but rather an organic integration of new storylines and world exploration within the main game.

Using this artifact, you can enter the Ghost World and uncover the truth about Demagrass, the brother of Queen Aurora, whose fate is enshrouded in mystery and intrigue.
Keep an eye out, though! Mardek's ship is not just an iron hulk, but a living nightmare where every step can be your last. Each step will lead you to dangerous traps, monsters, and mad scientists' experiments.

You will have access to:

• 4 new biomes
• More than 20 new enemies
• 5 unique bosses

Greetings, friends!

There are two good news that I would like to share with you today. SKELETHRONE: The Chronicles of Ericona will be a part of the Boomstock Festival, an event dedicated to cool old-school action and retro games, organized by Fulqrum Publishing. Let's celebrate this event together! Enjoy good discounts and demo versions on great games. You will also see announcements from different development teams at the festival.

I have an announcement for you too.

A full-fledged New Game+ mode has been added to the game. You will be able to access the mode across all platforms. But first things first. Let's check out the new trailer dedicated to the release of the new mode. [previewyoutube=I3ARyI_v32w;full][/previewyoutube]

Details:

To start New Game+, after you have defeated the final boss, you need to open the bonfire menu and select "Start New Game+. The New Game+ option is not available in patches prior to 1.3.3, so you will need to defeat the final boss, complete the game, and then be given the option to start a new game. After that, even if you refuse, the bonfire menu will show the corresponding option. As a reward for exploration, you'll receive crystals to improve your equipment instead of duplicates to avoid cluttering up your inventory. Take advantage of the opportunity to upgrade your equipment by finding an anvil in the village of Singing Hills. Available improvements with each new NG+:

• weapons: +5, +10, +15;
• gear: +5, +10;
• rings: +2, +3, +4, +5.

When the NG+ is increased to +7, the characteristics of enemies and bosses will also grow, along with the amount of essence received. All your inventory items, levels gained, Vessels of Healing, Sign of Change, Stone of Oblivion, Tree of Knowledge, and equipment improvement items will carry over to NG+. We will only remove relics and quest items that affect the game's story and exploration.

Your feedback and questions

Don't forget to join the official Discord community and chat directly with me! Also, if you have encountered problems and bugs, or the game isnt working for you, please share it in a special topic Bug Report!. I'll be sure to reply and get back to you with a solution. Don't forget to leave feedback and reviews on Steam. Thank you!!! And thank you so much for playing the game!

Ahoy!

The perfect moment to start playing Caribbean Legend! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2230980/Caribbean_Legend/

First, the important stuff:

• Patch 1.3 is available. We've never done anything like this before as a studio.
• Starting NG is not required. We recommend loading version 1.2.1 saves made while on land.
• Today marks the game's second 'release'Steam will be actively promoting it for two weeks.
• To celebrate, we've set a historic low price50% off.
• Now's the perfect moment to start playing if youve been holding off for any reason.
• Black Mark DLC is out now.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3162620/Caribbean_Legend/

What's New:

Ships

One of the goals of Patch 1.3 was not only to rework the remaining player-favorite early-game ships but also to lay the groundwork for the planned boarding scenes. The ships turned out great.


New ships:

• The Valkyrie
• The Meifeng
• Fluyt
• War Schooner
• The Principio (DLC)
• Improved sail and rigging quality for all ships in the game.

In total, ~30% of the entire game fleet has been revamped by 1.3 - just as planned.

Quests

Extinguished Star Weve never created a quest this complex, non-linear, and intricate before. It has everything: new content with Mary and Helen, direct impact on the main storyline, cutscenes, crazy flashbacks, and valuable loot. The quest starts at the end of "The Dutch Gambit" and continues through to "Turtle Soup." No spoilerssee it for yourself.
Black Mark A non-linear quest, designed for the early stages of the game, offering valuable rewards and nods to veterans of the "Sea Dogs" series. Available in both Story and Sandbox modes. Part of the "Black Mark" DLC.
Rewards include: a duelling double-barreled pistol, an Italian rapier, an Army broadsword, a Black Spot ward, armor, as well as a new officerTommy Irons, and the legendary Pink of Nicholas Sharp, the Principio. The Pink is stunning, but the true star of the DLC is Irons. He's got killer jokes.

Locations

No new locations in this patch, aside from a few scenes for the Longway quest. The boarding decks took up almost all of our time and will continue to do so. All four decks will be included in either Patch 1.3.1 or 1.5. However, we did update several old locations, especially those that significantly lagged behind the newer ones in quality. Locations update:

• Locations and scenes for the "Extinguished Star" quest
• The Old Lighthouse
• Port Royal Lighthouse
• Several beaches
• Indian village
• Improved ground textures in towns.

Animations

We continue the challenging journey of bringing quests, battles, and cities life to life. The minimum program has already been fulfilled, and with Patch 1.5, we aim for something even more ambitious. Next-gen is just around the corner.

New animations:

• Unique animations for the "Extinguished Star" quest
• 7 new contextual death battle animations
• 2 prayer animations in churches
• 2 animations for drunks in towns
• Tavern musicians no longer drown out the games music
• Fishermen, blacksmiths, and musicians now work according to the time of day

New Hero

Due to popular demand, Helen McArthur is now a fully-fledged character in Sandbox mode. She is compatible with the "Vile Little God" and "Black Mark" DLCs. She has unique dialogues in her hometown Blueweld, unique achievements, loot, and starts her pirate career on a war schooner. For now, she doesnt carry a musket or visible armor, and there may be some "gender errors" :rofl_pirate: in the dialogues. Her development will continue in Patch 1.5, along with other Sandbox characters.

Notification System

Traditionally, games in this series have never been known for being player-friendly or transparent, often requiring guides. What happened to my character? Why did I fail a dialogue check? What reward did I just receive? Any game needs to communicate with the playerand now Caribbean Legend does. I consider this the key feature of Patch 1.3.
New notifications:

• Over 100 new format notifications on sea, land, and in dialogues
• Combat statusesfrom poisonings to critical damage
• Loot markersso far, only for plants in the jungle, but this is just the start
• Quest navigationso far, only for the beginning of the game
• More quest markers over characters and on the global map
• New tutorial videos for core game mechanics

Interface

Lets be honest, we have the best interface. But somehow, the list of fixes for it has already stretched to three pages. :rofl_pirate: The first half of the first page finally made it into Patch 1.3.
UI update:

• Unlimited key remappingadjust the controls to your liking
• Control hints in loot, trade, and exchange windows
• Highlighting new entries in the ships log and documents
• Highlighting available skill points for characters
• Keeping the selected character when switching tabs between inventory and skills
• Displaying character roles in officer assignment windows
• Improved interaction with items in the inventory
• Added a DLC button in the menuif all are purchased, it will be inactive

Miscellaneous

• 13 achievements
• New ward
• New sword
• Automatic crash reports sending - let's see how bad it really is out there
• Longway can now carry muskets
• New dialogue camera
• Missing textures restored for some objects in the "Flying the Jolly Roger" quests
• Claude Durand now reliably triggers his loyalty event after a set time
• Obtaining a patent removes pirates from the crew
• Reputation no longer drops if the player exits "Flying the Jolly Roger" questline before Cartagena
• Fewer soldiers in towns, and they stop the player less often
• Chance to deceive the guards can no longer exceed 90%
• Governors no longer ask you to infiltrate friendly towns
• Passengers no longer ask to be taken to hostile towns
• "Iron Will" perk no longer allows intimidating officers
• Missing item descriptionsskill bonuses, etc.have been added
• Additional optimization of the tutorial on Martinique
• Spelling and grammar corrections - thanks to all reports you have been sharing on Discord
• Numerous bug fixes
• Improved overall game stability

1.5

Thats all for now! Over the past six months, weve done an incredible amount of work together. Weve done everything possible and even more. Except for the Story mode epilogue, of course. We could have done it already, but it would have been too... simple? I want to create something special and worthy of Charles de Maure's storycall it a "directors cut" of his storyline, if you will. Plus, the game has long needed list of truly new mechanics, fixes for old ones, a complete rebalance, a new loot category, and a proper uplift of Sandbox mode. Not to mention improved controls, gamepad support, Steam Deck experience. Patch 1.5 will take at least six months, and it will definitely require starting the new game. So for now, well take a short break, rest, and then get back to work. Leave reviews steamthumbsup as blue as the Caribbean Sea, download the patch, buy the DLCand if youve been putting off playing the game for any reason, nows the perfect moment to start!
Coming soon... :jollyr:

Greetings, friends!

I'm happy to announce that Skelethrone: The Chronicles of Ericona is all set for release on PC, PS4, Xbox and Nintendo Switch. The release is scheduled for August 7th Many improvements have been made in the meantime.

A summary of the most important improvements is provided below:

Optimized the loading of the game, which made it several times faster. The results are impressive. Here's a video showing the difference clearly. [previewyoutube=WWdL4ppuCsk;full][/previewyoutube] There are more options for screen settings now, including full screen mode, resizing windows, and adjusting brightness and color. Added the option to select Exploring or Journey modes. If you choose the first option, you will have to explore the world on your own, getting hints only from dialogs. As for the second scenario, you will see hints about the main events on the map, so you can easily figure out how to proceed further.

Improved the skill tree.
Lots of visual improvements and additions to locations and their variety


Interactive objects, such as loot vases, have been added to locations.
More polishing. We have conducted additional testing sessions in order to identify and fix possible bugs. Japanese language was added. See you on August 7th! I hope you enjoy this wonderful Mah-Abyss world! Don't forget to join official Discord community and communicate directly with the developer!

Hey there, friends!

Together with the publisher, we decided to delay the release until Q3 of this year.

Ultimately, this will ensure that everyone has the best gaming experience, and more time can be devoted to tweaks, changes, and updates. There was a lot of feedback from new players who tried the demo version for the first time and from those who compared the prologue and demo version. Thanks to this feedback it was possible to understand all the weaknesses of the game. Therefore, it will take time to improve some aspects of gameplay. For starters, I have decided to overhaul the talent tree. Make it more diverse. Now if you follow a particular leveling path you will get special talents that fit your gameplay style. Here is an example: Blunt - Increases the effectiveness of blunt and crushing weapons. Blades - Increases the effectiveness of short swords and daggers. Ammo - Increases the number of charges for ranged weapons. Shields - Reduces stamina expenditure when blocking a blow with a shield. Two-handed - Reduces stamina consumption when using a two-handed weapon. This is how the updated talent tree looks like:
This is just a small portion of what we have planned. In the coming days, I'll share with you how the polishing process is going. Stay tuned and see you soon! Best wishes, 70`Strike and the Valkyrie Initiative team

Greetings, friends! All changes for the demo version:

• Fixed a bug with picking up essence shards.
• Reworked character physics.
• In the title screen menu you can choose between windowed and full screen mode.
• You can now cancel an attack by dodging or jumping fixed for keyboard control.

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/

Greetings, Eternal Wanderers! I would like to share with you today how the universe of Mah-Abyss came to exist, as well as the being responsible for its creation.

Margoss.

From the depths of the universe he came, tired of endless wandering, a titan and beholder determined to construct his own world - an Ideal Utopia on the edge of the Milky Way. This world is now known as the Mach-Abyss. This world was ruled by order and harmony centuries before the events of our story. An ideal world without flaws. As in many realms, nothing lasts forever. An unforeseen error makes the harmony tumble into chaos when strange beings appear whose code differs from everything else in this world. In the course of time, the Titan fell into a thousand-year slumber. The Red Comet manifested itself into this world, which marked the birth of one who would later come to be known as the Creator.
Using aether flows, he created amazing yet terrifying miracles, such as the Crystal Tower that appeared out of nowhere, being a vivid proof of his mastery. Consequently, people began to believe in Gods that never existed. Eventually the Creator usurped the world. While Margoss slept, the world he created, slipped into obscurity. How do you like the demo version, by the way?. Please share your impressions in the comments or in the community center on Steam You can also ask your questions at Discord server.

Please wishlist the game if you haven't already!

Hello there Soul Seekers!

We're getting closer to the Halloween Festival on Steam, so I'd like to share a demo with you. It will introduce the main character, Derek Ericona, at the beginning of his adventure. You can try out the demo from October 26th to November 2nd! Prepare for a true test of your mettle. It doesn't end here, though! A full-fledged prologue will be available in February 2024, explaining how our protagonist transformed into something else and became so "skeletal". You don't want to miss the release of the prologue! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2139870/Skelethrone_The_Prey/ Don't forget to add the main game to your wishlist! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2139840/Skelethrone_The_Chronicles_of_Ericona/

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]
