Version 0.0.6 is up!

 Greetings!

We’re happy to announce another Gloria Victis update which brings us even closer to Alpha and to the moment when we lift the NDA! Click the link below to read the full changelog.

Apart from numerous fixes improving almost every area of gameplay, we have implemented our second nation – the fearless Ismirs from Styrborg! You can now choose your side in the conflict and enter the battle for glory, riches and control over the island of Stoneholm!

To accommodate our second nation, we have doubled the size of the test map. The Midlanders now start the game in Dunfen, a town on the north coast. Moreover, the Ismirs were given sets of their own equipment, including garments, armour and two-handed axes.

We have also introduced a few important changes to combat mechanics – we are starting to implement elements of our final combat system which makes heavy use of abilities.

New features:
- Added more content for Ismirs.
- Midlanders spawns at their own castle at the other side of map.
- Added over 60 new equipable items: simple two-handed weapon, two-handed axes, shields for Midland, armour and clothing for Ismirs.
- Implemented first element of territory combat – capture the flag.
- Added jumping and falling damage along with it.
- Added item deposit.
- Added new music playlists for regions.
- Added written text display over the speaker’s head.
- Added new chat commands:
/r – sends a private message to the last recipient
/help – displays all available commands
- Added a time limit for logging onto the game server; reaching it unlocks the “Play” button and displays an information of a server shutdown.

- Added the ability to jump to any step during the character creation.
- Added nickname display of members of an opposite faction, it will now display in red colour.
