Greetings everyone, I apologize for the delay on bringing a new update for the game's public beta v1.5.0, been having some trouble balancing my work, university studies, and my duties as the game developer, work has been quite demanding these past few months and it has taken a bit of a toll on me and I apologize. With that out of the way, here are the changes brought with this new update: Bugs

• Spells not launching
  • Fixed an issue with spells like Lightning Bomb appearing on top of the character and not being launched, causing a soft-lock mid-fight.
• Crops collision detection

Greetings everyone, I know it's been a long time since I last posted an update to the game and I want to apologize for that, these last few months have been demanding both with my work and my private life and because of that, the game's development has suffered some delays. With that said, I want to announce some new changes that can be tested in the public beta channel: Story Intro The game now has a proper story intro that shows some tutorials regarding movement and fighting and the battle between Arthur and Amolon Morrowstar. Changes to the fight screen The fight screen has been revamped and now has new icons for HP and MP and the old buttons with text for the various actions(Fight, Spells, Item, Switch) have been replaced with icon buttons to make it more compact.
Changes to crops After some feedback regarding the crop respawn timers some changes were made to reduce the times to an average of 30 minutes instead of being a daily occurrence. Interior Lighting The interior map has been changed to add lighting sources(Ceiling lights, moonlight through windows, etc.) during nighttime. New Title screen The title screen now has a new background that demonstrates the influence of the Drakians on Nemithia and new social icons have been added that lead to my discord server, youtube channel, and Twitch channel. Quests Quests are now being implemented and can be seen by pressing O to toggle open the Quest Panel. For now, only some main quests will appear and side quests are planned to be implemented at a later update. Quest tracking icons have also been added to the minimap and will always show to help point to where the player needs to go. New character sprites I'm currently in the process of remaking the overworld and fight sprites for all characters as will be apparent throughout this beta's gameplay, these are not final and some bugs may occur with rendering. This has been everything that's been done so far in terms of game development and from now on I'll do my best to do these more regularly as well as try to stream more often and publish some devlogs on Youtube. As always any and all feedback is welcome and appreciated, the best options for it are either on the GitHub discussions forum or the discord server. Thank you for your time reading this post. Kind Regards, Nuno "Omega Leo" Diogo

Hello everyone, To start off this announcement, I'm happy to say that Nemithia is currently 50% off for the duration of the Steam Autumn Sale!

Hello everyone, To start off this announcement, I'm happy to say that Nemithia is currently 50% off for the duration of the Steam Halloween Sale! As for v1.4.0, I have to announce that in light of recent feedback I received for the game, it'll take a bit longer than expected to release the new chapter and all the new improvements for the new version, I predict it'll be here in late December to early January, one of the main changes will be a complete overhaul to the 1st chapter to make the player more involved in the story itself, allow you to explore the map more instead of being a straight line to the end of the chapter, and because of that, there'll be a delay to be able to fine-tune the changes so it'll be an exciting launch. For now, that is all, hope to bring more good news pretty soon. Thank you all for your attention. Happy Halloween everyone! Kind Regards, Nuno "Omega Leo" Diogo.
