This is it, folks! This highly awaited Guardian of Lore DevLog contains an explosive bit of news! If you have been paying attention to our social media outlets, please dont spoil the surprise for those still in the dark. If you haven't then buckle up, youre in for quite a ride!

In-Game Updates

Bug slaying time!

The content is finally 100% finished and put together in Unity! This means exactly two things - were days away from the finish line AND, as we speak, were deep in the throes of intensive debugging. This stage in the development of an indie game like ours, with so many layers of complexity, is hard! And not as fun as it sounds. But hey, theres no way but through. Once the polishing up is done, well be ready for the takeoff!

The final battle is EPIC

Guys, theres no way we can convey with words just how incredible the mother of all final battles is. Its the final battle which ties up every single story. Therell be exciting danger, dangerous excitement, and Sayri, aided by your gaming skills, will get to prove himself as the rightful Guardian of Lore! Will you beat all odds and become the savior of legends? Or will you succumb to the evil forces seeking to destroy the memories of your kin?

You asked for a spell cheat sheet and we gave you one!

Several streamers and testers expressed the need for a visual reminder of Sayris many spells! Our prince is a very powerful mage whose incredible, customizable spells may have been a tad difficult to remember. But no more! Now, when you press the casting button, a cheat sheet appears to remind you of the key combination for each spell. In case you have an extraordinary memory, there'll be an option in the pause menu to disable the spell cheat sheet. Your wishes are our commands, but we also want to give you the freedom to choose what suits your playing style best.

New Demo version and a super polished tutorial!

We released a new demo a short while ago! Among some incredible features, you get the chance to win the final sword of the game. This weapon is unlike any other you will encounter throughout our indie masterpiece - get the chance to wield a two-handed big badass sword! As regards the new tutorial, it looks extremely different from the old one! It truly is something else. The details are ravishing and the backgrounds are, hands down, otherworldly! We have the most talented team of designers and digital artists. We have also updated our controller system: you can now customize your keyboard or controller combo. The choice is yours!
