We thought we would share some sneak peek screenshots from the upcoming Desert Barrens quest for Luna and the Moonling. We're still putting the final art and gameplay polish on them, but they are almost there! Desert Barrens will be part of the game through a future update and contain a new desert environment, more story, dialog, cutscenes, art, music, vfx, performance optimizations for the whole game, and our most challenging levels yet for our most advanced players - and we'll be releasing it FOR FREE to all players very soon!

We have just started a Discord chat server for Greyborn Studios! Feel free to stop by and say hello, ask us questions, get support, share tips, get sneak peaks of what we're up to, or just chat with us. We hope to see you there! Invite link: https://discord.gg/YphEqGn
