Hello Everyone! We are finally getting ready to share some of the stuff we have been working on these past weeks. Before delving into that, we want to thank everyone who trusted us to deliver on Medievalien by purchasing the Early Access version. And if you are waiting for us to release more content before buying it, that's totally fine too; this post will show some of the content that we are going to release in the next content update. Next patch will be 0.3 and it will be focused on a new biome. The amount of stuff we are adding is quite substantial so we will split it into several dev blogs, one for each week up until the planned released on April 8. Planned Dev Blogs:

• Dev Blog #1 (this one): Mountain Biome and Underground Keep
• Dev Blog #2: Caverns and enemies introduction
• Dev Blog #3: Skill Golem and Skills reworks

Mountain Biome

The first map you complete is what we internally call the Forest biome: it can have 3 variants: Forest, Ruins and Village. Completing it will bring you back to the lobby, giving you a chance to recover health and progress the story a little further. In the intro cinematic, you probably noticed the spaceship partially crashing towards the mountains; that's where you are headed. In order to reach the alien vessel you first have to venture inside the mountain through abandoned halls of a lost civilization and very gloomy caverns and tunnels.

Underground Keep

One of the two variants of the Mountain biome will be the Underground Keep. These zones will feature remnants of a community which used very advanced magic, and that has somewhat completely disappeared; something deeply wrong has happened in these ruins way before the alien invasion, and things that were meant to be forgotten have started to awaken.. Here are some quick screen grabs of some of the generated zones you will find: [previewyoutube=UDCe7QlPR94;full][/previewyoutube] [previewyoutube=3a_G8AyRPno;full][/previewyoutube]



We hope you enjoyed this little preview. Next week we'll present the second biome variant called Caverns and some previews on the enemies you'll have to face to reach the end boss. Stay tuned! -- dOOb games
